The resistance is the better part of this feat and the multiple uses are nice, but they are only equivalent to spell slots if you actually use them.  I love absorb elements, which is slightly better than this, but I don't think I have ever cast it 3 times in a day, in part because it uses a reaction which is not always available.I think playing RAW you will generally get more damage per casting of HM or Hex.  Even if it does not last an entire combat it does more per hit, so you are going to be ahead on the very first turn you cast it, when the damage matters the most and you will keep pulling further ahead every turn you get to use it.  While you may lose concentration in the first battle you use hex, you will rarely get more than 3 or 4 turns with COI.  This is especially true since hex works on all attacks, where disarming you or making you do a ranged or spell attack loses the COI damage for that attack.Also FWIW GWM is not as OP as everyone makes it out to be.Right, but it sucks up a spell known for most classes to and most classes are not going to take it when other better spells are available.  Wizards are who can benefit from it the most, because they have nothing on their list to bring up a downed ally or do any healing at all.  Other classes who have healing available are probably going to take or prepare something else.I think it is rare that someone has cure wounds specifically prepared.  Virtually no one has it as a known spell and Druids and Clerics rarely prepare it when better healing spells are available, even at 1st level where healing word and goodberry are the go-tos.I am playing 6 games right now, of those:5 player game - Paladin, Warlock, Rogue, Barbarian, Rogue/Cleric (me).  No one has cure wounds4 player game - Ranger/Cleric, Monk, Sorcerer/Warlock, Barbarian, Rogue/Wizard (me).  I don't think anyone has cure wounds prepared, although the Ranger/cleric has a lot of healing and it could include this (I just don't remember her ever casting it).3 player game - Sorcerer, Barbarian, Rogue (me).  No one has any healing spells at all.5 player game - Wizard, Artificer, Monk, Warlock, Rogue/Fighter (me).  No one has any healing spells5 player game -  Wizard, Rogue, Rogue/Bard, Sorcerer, Rogue/Ranger (me).  No one has cure wounds, the sorcerer is a divine soul and has other healing.3 player game - Fighter, Cleric, Rogue (me).  No one has cure wounds.</blockquote>
