You know that is a good point. Thinking further it is probably not so much the “spamming” issue but more of a been there, seen that issue. I’ve played with warlocks and we had one in a past campaign, so I’d rather bring a unique angle. A melee (celestial tomelock maybe for rituals too) with EB as a backup would at least be a new angle for our group, as would a bladelock archer.
