Below is a catalog of the Warlock spell listings. The Warlock is a singularly unique caster, in as much as it not only possesses some of the most powerful spell delves in Dark Age of Camelot, but also, an astonishing ammount of utility - especially in the Hexing Specline, where, the Warlock enjoys everything from Spread healing spells to PBAoE damage - the latter of which, has thus far been unheardof on all but primary healing classes (Clerics, Healers, Druids). The only major spell damage types NOT aviable to a Warlock are Ranged AoE, GTAoE (Ground Targeted Area of Effect), and CAoE (Cone Area of Effect).

As a player very much interested in the overall game balance of Dark Age of Camelot, it greatly concerns me, when a caster with this level of utility, is able to enjoy some of the highest delving magical damage in the entire game. In my opinion, high utility specilizations should come at the cost of focused damage - but the Warlock, especially if he invests heavily in his Hexing Specline, gets both monsterous utility, and incredible damage. When a class is able to achive such a high level of potentcy WHILE enjoying massive utility, in my mind, creates a great many problems in terms of game balance - especially when comparessons are drawn between the "utility" and "primary damage" speclines of other cloth wearing casters.

I have hilighted in yellow the spells Contention is specced high enough to use.
