Warlock seems incredibly weak

[8Squirrels]

Maybe I just don't know how to build them? Am I sleeping on the class? What do you all think

[Zygfryd]

Can't hear you over the sound of me blasting people off ledges.

Warlock is just "EB the character" , if you're not building around EB you're basically gimping yourself.

Warlock is the Fighter of spellcasting.

Hunger of Hadar is a pretty strong if have to fight many enemies. Our warlock made some fights quite easy with it.

You only have 2 spells per short rest but you always cast at max level

Also Eldritch Blast is a strong cantrip, even more if you can push people down the ledges with it

It’s super powerful and a lot of fun to use.

But it’s more complicated to build than fighters/ barrbarians and often you want to multi class a few levels into sorc or Paladin for max damage output .

At lvl 5 with repelling blast and agonizing blast you get 2 beams of Eldridge blast which combined with hex does great range damage and can push enemies into oblivion

Or with 2 lvls of paladin you get 2 supercharged divine strikes per short rest .

Plus they are charisma based so great at being the leader of the team as they get easy time in persuasion and trade.

I always make Wyll a 10 warlock / 2 paladin and he is great

Ok cool, I think I am sleeping on warlock then, I'll play around with it some more, thanks all

Warlock actually combos pretty well with another offensive caster in your party. Otherwise there are also tons of sorlocks builds available online.

Warlock is easily the most busted overpowered class in the game.. what the heck are you talking about lol

[Ratman]

Ive found you can do a lot with any of the classes even ones traditionally weak in 5e

[Rex is back, baby!]

Think Warlock as more of an archer or gunslinger than spellcaster.

[Okat]

The warlock game plan is pretty simple: cast Eldritch Blast (if you have the Agonising Blast invocation, which you really should) or drop a high-impact spell like Fireball or Hold Person. Hex is a pretty good source of damage too, it's good to try and keep that up as much as possible, although it's by no means necessary. Make sure to short rest to get your spell slots back. That's it, really.

In 5e, warlocks get some really interesting features at higher levels, but BG3 stops at level 12. The devs made up for that by adding magical items that vastly boost damage or spell save DC. Items that say they add charisma to damage stack with Agonizing Blast, for monstrously strong Eldritch Blasts.

Not exactly true, its just most obvious and lazy way to play it. Warlock is an INSANE hp tank with his armor spell and fiend spec, pact weapon makes him into pretty decent attacker, plus you have quite a few tricks left, hex is good, heck even fireball can make a difference here and there. Plus with minion gloves from act1 you can make pretty annoying chain pact, though you most like end up EB'ing with that one

If you pick pact of the blade, you can be kind of like a melee with a range spell. But that Hadare spell is crazy strong. they have pretty rad zoning

The biggest problem is that their Invocation system is under developed.

Invocations should be much more important. Warlocks should get more of them, and there should be more to choose from. Particularly at-will casts.
