[QUOTE="SailorNash, post: 6873790, member: 6788401"] I never claimed to be the defining voice for the class. Just a fan. And I qualified my statements to say that they were my observations and opinions, rather than a theoretical discussion. ("Broken" being a little so subjective a word to use here.) It's considered to be on-par with a full caster, but I actually was expecting a magical fighter. But the actual Magical Fighter (the Eldritch Knight) likely had more spells should a DM not strictly enforce 6-8 encounters and 2-3 rests. Please read the whole sentence. I said that Warlocks should know their patron spells automatically, like a Cleric's domain spells, because their few spell slots would still balance this. Of course. Full caster class. If it were someone begging for short rests, I'd have assumed Warlock in that case. Fighters never run out of sword, so they can kind of go indefinitely. You seem to know my preferences well. I'd actually like to play a highly-charismatic spellcaster, but without having to worry so much over spell slots. Something easy, with lots of at-will or quickly-spamable abilities that don't require a lot of management and maintenance. Doubly preferred if it's a class that has a really RP-rich backstory. Have any suggestions? In all honesty, I really would love to hear your opinion. I only made it to leve six or so. I love this class, love the idea for quickly refreshable spell slots, lots of reliable cantrip damage, and something nontraditional. And some of it likey is that I wasn't "playing right". But I've heard similar complaints, and people can't control whether they're the only short Rester or not in a group. Warlock is a wonderful class in concept, but I still wonder if it's not working quite as intended and if something might need to be tweaked to make it on-par with an actual caster or Gish. [/QUOTE]
