We'll bump it up to 9th since that's the first legal level.1. 5d6 damage for the wilder vs 5d6 damage for the warlock. Point = Tie. Tiebreaker = Eldritch Essences to add debuffs or extra damage to the eldritch blast; Point = Warlock2. Requires essentially a full-round action and a DC 20 concentration check every round vs requires a standard action. Point = Warlock3. Affected by DR vs not affected by DR. Point = Warlock4. Not affected by SR vs affected by SR. Point = Wilder (unless the Warlock uses Vitriolic Blast, but that's a Greater invocation and thus not usable at level 9)5. Only affects a single target vs only affects a single target. Point = Tie. Tiebreaker = Blast Shapes to affect multiple targets; Point = Warlock6. Usable ~80-90 times a day vs usable 14,400 times a day. Point = Warlock7. 45' range vs 60' range. Point = Warlock (even more so with Eldritch Spear)Frankly, your 'combo' requires 4 feats to use for a whopping 17.5 average damage at level 9. That's not even remotely close to powerful. A level 9 fighter will do nearly that much with just a single swing of his +2 greatsword and no feats (2d6+2 = 9 avg, +7 strength), and we all know how weak fighters are in 3E.</blockquote>
