Add extra invocation feats...
So I noticed that spellcasters have the extra spell slot feat but warlocks do not get the extra invocation feat. I think this is unfair to those who play warlocks. 12 Invocations is simply not enough and being able to take extra ones would give the warlock a much greater range of abilities as well as make them more fun to play. While I am sure this was not done for malicious reasons I feel this unnecessarily penalizes warlocks. I would be most overjoyed to have this feat available. Can it be added and how long might such take?

No
Way
Sorcerers and Wizards get extra spell slot feats because that would mean ONE extra spell, giving a warlock an extra one would mean more UNLIMITED spells, or an invocation that generally lasts until the next rest.
That is why they don't get extra invocations.

Warlocks need to make some tough choices in order to wield the power they have!

Sorcerers don't get one more spell known. It's one more spell per day. You can't compare it to warlock at all.

Re: Add extra invocation feats...
Lol warlock is definatly not OP. Even if built right it cannot solo strong mobs, at least not at a pace which is reasonable. Its one thing to be able to solo but its another to be able to solo at a speed which allows you to gain lvs quickly.
Also mobs who can see through invis are off limits, a warlocks only ability to solo comes from the at-will invis so monsters who can see you are too dangerous to attempt. A power-build warlock (might) be OP but power-building is nullified on this server so going that route is futile.
Finally, a warlock can only attack foes one at a time until the very high lvs where you get blast shapes which can target multiple enemies. Best area effect invocation is not availiable till about lv 17 so until then you are stuck. Even when you have the area effect blast the damage it does is less then the single target blast and they can save and end up taking even less damage then that.
No matter though... epic lvs can get epic spells which might as well be extra invocations. Can only use them once per day but that is usually sufficient. Lol was not expecting to start a firestorm on the forums.

Re: Add extra invocation feats...
warlock is one of the classes that can solo the netherese maze... definitely OP
and before the range nerf to the spear shape they could solo the white dragon bc of an AI glitch, more an exploit than being just OP but still
they are definitely not in the weak group
