[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 2895453, member: 4936"] Azaar - My gut reaction on seeing your build is that you're trying to do too many things at once. You've got sneak attacking, eldritch blasting, a bunch of mediocre (for epic scores) stats instead of a few really good ones, and a fiendish servant that will (I kid you not) be more of a liability than an asset in battle. My advice to you is to consolidate. For each level you take, especially past 20, ask why...why am I taking this? A good example is Hexblade. Why? Just for the bonus vs spells? The mettle? The meager (and nigh useless) spellcasting? Ditto on Blackguard. And Ninja. :) If you want to focus on ranged attacks, Power Attack and Cleave won't be too helpful. Get Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot instead. Getting powers that increase your damage is smart too. The sneak attack of the build probably isuen't worth the drop in caster level and so on...not at epic levels.. My suggestion is to treat Warlock like a caster class. Try not to stray TOO far, or else SR will constantly be a nuisence. Vitrioli Blast can help alleviate this somewhat, but it's mighty easy to counter. Alternatively, pick feats and/or classes that will play to your strengths. Scout isn't bad, for example. The Bonus to damage occurs when you move and attak...and since you can't use iterative attacks on Eldritch Blast, you lose nothing. Without knowing more about your intent, it's hard to judge more thoroughly, but this is my first crack at it. [/QUOTE]
