Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aegeri" data-source="post: 5558153" data-attributes="member: 78116">This is irrelevant. If there are two identical choices (and really that's what we're talking about as they share the same powers and general theme) and one is worse than the other, then yes, it is awful. The binder actually isn't as good a controller as the original striker warlock. That's how sad it is!I mean if we have Class A, who does everything you do, have the same general flavor/theme, is a better controller than you (your primary role), can pinch your best thing (your at-will power, which is pretty damn great TBH), gets better encounter power choices than you and to add insult to injury to all this deals a whole crapload more damage, awful is indeed the only good description of it.That's easy, it shows the designers don't actually pay attention to the options they have added into the game! Unfortunately like the Vampire, I am not hopeful of the binder getting support to boost it over the original warlock. So sadly it will end up stuck in the "Why does this exist and is inferior in every way to being just a regular warlock (or Hexblade, who BTW is a GOOD example of adding a neat new option to Warlocks)" category of classes in 4E <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />You gave the example of save ends things, but they haven't been unafraid to do this with surgeless healing as well as another example (and that errata'ed a ton of stuff). I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility of dealing with a few of those items at least.</blockquote>
