That means that they're going to spend a lot of time in combat using eldritch blast, preferably with the Agonizing Blast invocation. Hex makes that at least 30% better (based on comparing 1d10+5 to 1d10+5+1d6 - at lower Charisma values, the value of hex goes up).A shatter cast at 3rd level deals 4d8 damage, or an average of 18. A 5th level warlock casting a hex-enhanced eldritch blast deals 2x 1d10+1d6+4 (I'm assuming Cha 18+ and agonizing blast at this point), or 26 points (spread across two attacks that usually have about a 2-in-3 chance to hit). That's fairly even, but then the hexer does the same thing again next round, and the one after that, without spending more spell slots.Hex isn't the super-best spell ever, but it certainly pulls its weight.</blockquote>
