Consume at level 1 hits for 12d6, and has the same range, cast speed, and also has a 10s cool down.

A level 20 pure acid savant sorc in draconic has a level 33 Black dragon bolt level 9 spell, which does 1d3 per level or 66 damage over time.

So a level 2 warlock has 4x the DoT of a level 20 pure acid savant in draconic using the level 9 spell black dragon bolt, as a free ability, with free maximize/empower.

As said earlier. Lolwut?
This is a wind up, right?

You're getting Consume and Stricken mixed up.
They cost AP, they're not spells.
They have irritating targeting and long cooldowns.
Choosing a bad spell as a counter argument does not make you right. Your whole point was damage dice over
time. Now your argument is comparing class enhancements to spells.

I don't mind debating this but let's establish what we actually want to talk about first.
