[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3233724, member: 16285"] Actually it is more like saying a soulknife isn't based on his mindblade. Soulknives have a real similar list of class skills to the warlock and more hit points to boot. A warlock does revolve around his eldritch blast, he has other things going for him - but his single most anchoring clas ability his is eldritch blast. Most opinions in fact start with the warlock is overpowering and then have to have explanations given as to why the class is not overpowering. Quite a lot of posters have stated, however, that the class does tend to get boring to play after a while due to the reliance on the eldritch blast class ability. A warlock gets 2+ Int mod skill points per level, while a soulknife gets 4+Int mod per level. So while the warlock does get a good list of class skills he is not a skill monkey becasue he doesn't get a lot of skill points, in fact his sp generation is in the lowest bracket (2+Int mod). I absolutely agree the class is versatile and can contribute in a lot of ways - but at its core it is still a one-trick pony. And I don't think I hae ever seen a majority opinion on the class that it is a "weak" class. [/QUOTE]
