(+ allies + Quicken EB)VsAction for 1d10+3+1d6 * 60%= 7.2Upcast in a 3rd level slot will beat out 2 beams.And again, you can adapt to the situation.  Hex or Web is still available against a mobile enemy.(A straight Cloud of Daggers caster doesn't do to bad as ranged DPS either)But it does more damage than a sorcerer, and more control than a Warlock.It's Quicken that makes it good.  It's both Control + Damage on the same turn (or Damage + Damage).70% damage + 70% control = 140% power.But I agree it's mediocre (not terrible) below level 5.  You don't have enough Quicken.  And it doesn't really pull ahead till level 7.</blockquote>
