Fair enough, I also trade out Shadowheart for Jaheria in the late game but if we are talking about party support I wouldn't trade either for a Warlock.
Again, Wyll loses out because of his class and the 4 person party - not because his EA story was bad. If they had expanded the party they wouldn't have needed to revise his story.
No, that is not what I meant. I prefer the druid because I like their spells & summons more, as an offensive spellcaster. I don't bother with support roles, the cleric / abjurer would be an exception, because I am a bit curious how warding bond would work with arcane ward. But because I prefer offensive spellcasters, I'd take a warlock over thief. There are items that add bonus damage to the blast, and pact of the blade can melee as well, especially in darkness (my first playthrough, Wyll as warlock/ champion
practically soloed Shar's temple fight).
You can build powerful combinations with either, but the thief multiclass options are just more boring to me.
