[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7298160, member: 20564"] I understand that is what you are asserting, but care to put some supporting details to why? I've put forth that (a) most save DCs are fairly easy, and (b) you can potentially have it AND have a full spell load. At worst, when things get really tough and you "need" it, you have it for part of the combat before losing your concentration - and that likely is a freebie left-over from an earlier combat taking no slots from this one, and that previous combat was over sooner perhaps saving you and/or other party members other resources because you were able to roll over the foes as you say - when you don't "need" it. This is true of the warlock regardless if they are casting spells or using EB. As such, we need to take it either way. Since it's true both ways and not more important either way, it's equally balanced between if the warlock is focusing on EB or other spells. It doesn't change the balance point between those. If that was true, no one would ever play a weapon wielder. That contribution round after round is what ends the fight. The fact is that the warlock has some great things to do but many are limited to a few times per short rest - being able to spend the rest of the time making a meaningful damage contribution that is on par with weapon wielders is a good thing.
