[QUOTE="Kaelkatar, post: 4433880, member: 72719"] In my opinion intelligence is important, it has an effect on every encounter power that you use. For daily powers, there is no benefit to using the star one, so if the star one is cha, and you build con, you can take the infernal daily. Dire radiance is con, and is a pretty decent ability, so thats one reason to build con. The two PP attacks from doomsayer use cha, so thats a good reason to build cha. The most important part is encounter powers, lets look at what ability they tend to use. 4 use Cha, 3 use Con. Pretty even split alternating at the most part. This will also likely change as this month a star-pact warlock DDI article is coming out, and will likely have at least a small handful of encounter powers. So the two build options that I would suggest if you want to look away from dealing with 3 stats is a CHA - INT warlock that grabs as many cha star power encounters as possible, trades away con based star powers for wizard powers, and anything left over grabs the fey power. This build would be fine to go doomsayer and would use eld blast to exclusion as an at will. The alternative does the same with Con - INT, subs out CHA spells for wizard spells, and taking infernal dailys. They also take bloodmage as their PP, as they have access to it, and it works well with high CON. You can always go the CON - CHA playstyle with low int, but your encounters start to suffer in power as you reach the epic tier and your int is 4-8 points lower than your CON/CHA. Also if you do decide to go Con - INT you might want to look into another class, if you are 100% on being dragonborn, stick with the CHA - INT build. Just my thoughts. Ps. If you stick with dragonborn, you can utilize that bonus STR you get by taking the hide armor and light shield feats. [/QUOTE]
