D&D 4E Final Thoughts on a 4e hybrid Im working on.

[Sage20500]

Working on tweaking a build for an upcoming devil may cry apocalypse game a friend is running, and I decided to try something new by seeing how well a Cha/Int Sorcerer King Pact Warlock and a Lazy Lord could mesh. The build itself is fine, now though its just a matter of fine tuning feats and items for the most part so if you guys have any ideas they'd be much appreciated. Party i'm with is a Half Orc Straladin (Starts with a 20 strength for obvious reasons), a half orc rageblood barbarian, and a tiefling succubus bard. DM is giving out some homemade slotless items for this game, mine is that all of my attacks shred defenses by 1 for each hit I make, so in order of tier I can max at -2 to ac/ -3 to ac and reflex/ -5 to all. I also have an encounter power that is based on the warlord dragon slayers encounter power, except it is worded so that each attack that it grants is a Basic attack, not 1W+Strength. So I can use it to eldritch blast while my allies can make melee basics etc. At the moment I have in my feats that I grabbed Vistani Bloodline and Foresight so that when ever I come across a boss that I just don't feel like dealing with, I have a built in **** it button so that I can make the most out of warmaster and just start spamming all of the attacks that say my allies get to attack it even more. I think I've mapped it out to where if I blow everything in a single encounter I can give all of my allies at least 9 attacks during my own turn. Not including the we all take a turn during my turn power. (I love spring the trap).

I would suggest as at-will you get Eldritch Strike, so you can swing when needed. But as a controller|leader with strong strikers, that should be your entire investment. I do not get wasting (that's how I see it) a feat on Riposte or Gifted Death Dealer.

You're missing Superior Will, you're missing a Superior Implement (Accurate Staff) feat, you're wasting another feat on Beseech Patron, the TWO Skill focus feats and Vistani Bloodline. You need Twofold Curse and Relentless Curse earlier, as well as Fight On.

At level 11 I would grab Star Pact for the Student of Caiphon PP, as the level 16 feature will get ugly for Team Monster real quickly. Does not work with Bloodied Boon. Mindbite Scorn feat is the main benefit of SK Pact anyway. No need to double dip for that.

As far as Theme, I would go for Noble Adept, make a striker not miss once per encounter can really add up. (also comes with an interesting D9)

Powers: I would stay with Powerful Warning (Warlord 1), as it grants another MBA, but I guess that is part of the larger line of critique here that I would redo this entire build.
