[QUOTE="yakuba, post: 8083705, member: 6698582"] I wouldn't say the Hexblade 'sells itself' in this way anymore than any of the other 'fightery' caster subclasses like War priest or College of Swords. These subclasses don't have the damage output and/or defenses of the Fighter/Paladin/Barbarian classes. And just as in those other subclasses you can choose to burn all your other class resources in a (probably) futile attempt to get to that level of offense or defense I think it's fine as the fightery warlock subclass which there was a real clamor for. I don't see a real argument that it is significantly less capable than other similar caster subclasses.
