Message: <blockquote data-quote="Keenath" data-source="post: 4335180" data-attributes="member: 59792">If he's star pact, it's not.  Doomsayer SUCKS* and I'd personally recommend any starpact warlock get a multiclass feat that opens up a path that's more worthwhile.  The Spellstorm Mage is my particular favorite, but this is an interesting idea.That said, if it were my game, I'm going to assume the text's intent is to boost your crit rate when using a dagger as a weapon, and that the pact blade is a weird corner case that they missed.Just reading through the magic weapons chapter, I notice that wizards can use staves the same way warlocks use a pact blade; you can apply the staff's enhancement bonus to melee attacks that you make with it as well as to powers that use it as an implement.* The Doomsayer focuses on making your fear powers really scary, but there are no fear powers available to him between level 7 and level 25 other than his paragon path powers (and of course his at-will), which makes Doomsayer's Oath pretty lame.  Worse is Doomsayer's Proclamation, which makes nearby enemies roll twice and take the worse result when they're saving against fear effects... which would be fine except that the warlock only has ONE fear power that has save-ends, and it's the level 1 Daily "Dread Star", which you're probably replacing at 15th level anyway.  It's not even good for boosting allies' powers, because there's only three save-ends fear effects in the book:  Dread Star, Astral Whirlwind (the Astral Weapon paladin paragon path's 20th level power), and Prismatic Spray (lvl 25 daily wizard attack).  Sad.</blockquote>
