[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7859398, member: 6801228"] For me this is it, I love my Chain pact warlock, and until I'd actually played with my invisible sprite, I had underestimated how powerful it was. But, looking at the Invocations, I don't get a lot of good options to buff my Pact Boon. Sure, Tome before this UA had only one invocation unique to it, but considering it is one of the best invocations in the game, that was fine. But, most of the Chain invocations are kind of crappy. Chains of Carceri is far too limited, and Voice of the Chain Master is something I never felt the need for in my game, because 100 ft was plenty of distance for everything I wanted to do. I don't think it has to be a combat buff for the Chain Master, but I don't think they can buff the Exploration aspect, and they seemed to be trying to make it more combat viable, which is why I looked at it through that lens. True, but I don't think Chain has any Invocation that is comparable to Book of Ancient Secrets. And, since Find Familiar is so good, most Tomelocks take it, and it provides 90% of the utility that Chain gets. The familiar attacking is not the point, so Chain getting that isn't helpful, and I think it is fair to look at this and see Tome getting a large chunk of Chain's cake at the moment. [/QUOTE]
