But if you instead treat it much like Valor Bard, that is a secondary fighter with some magical backup - that you mostly go "pew-pew" with EB, and save your few big spells for really important encounters, you might get a similar experience to Fanaelialae.The thing is, a Warlock becomes only better with a Wizard in the party, since that means nobody expects you to pull off the utility spells. In contrast, if you are the only caster in a party, you can easily feel inadequate since your fighting ability is often trumped by the dedicated martials, and there is no chance you can supply all the spells a Wizard or Cleric could.Like any hybrid class, you work best in a diverse party, where your strength in providing martial backup is appreciated, since there is no second tank, no second striker, no second skill monkey already; and nobody will notice the limits of your spellcasting with a Wizard and Cleric (say) already in the group!</blockquote>
