[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 9013887, member: 6786252"] Its moving away from what one of the two playstyles I mentioned used to do, possibly others. There's more than one side to this. Flip that around, and... we already have three other Arcane full casters that effectively do the same thing the warlock does, and can generally do it better than the warlock does. The big draw is that, in both cases... the warlock does it differently. Both as a pseudo-gish and a pseudo-full-caster. I think this refusal to acknowledge that there's wildly divergent playstyles and multiple view points here is hurting the conversation. The artificer's problem is that its a half-caster with just a bunch of random spells, and hasn't bothered to try and integrate them in a similar manner that the Ranger and Paladin have. The point of half-caster is the synergy between the martial and caster aspects. The artificer lacks that. The warlock, meanwhile, has a number of synergies. Needs to be retuned since the 2014 release, but its there. [/QUOTE]
