(Beyond "minimal vs superb".) However, since spells can also deal damage, it is possible to compare DPR between the two classes.This can give important information or highlight potential issues, as Treantmonk did with the blade pact warlock. DPR isn't the only capability of a warlock: they also have a suite of utility spalls and invocations due to DPR being considered the forte of the martial classes. However, if a warlock can demonstrably beat most martial classes in DPR, as well as having superior capabilities in the other areas of the game, that is a valid cause for concern.</blockquote>
