Warlock feats... worth it?

First Post
I'm looking at Quicken Spell-Like Ability and Empower Spell Like Ability and I'm wondering if they are even worth it for Eldritch Blast. The Eldritch Blast is basically a spell level half my Warlock level. So... looking at Quicken Spell Like Ability I'd be able to do a quickened 1d6 Eldritch Blast when I am 10th level.

I'm guessing these feats are really more geared to the other invocations.

Hoody Hoo! Just checked the erratta...

Page 7: Eldritch Blast
Second paragraph of the Eldritch Blast ability
description:
Change “An eldritch blast is the equivalent of a spell
whose level is equal to one-half the warlock’s class
level (round down), with a minimum spell level of 1st
and a maximum of 9th when the warlock reaches 18th
level or higher” to “An eldritch blast is the equivalent
of a 1st-level spell. If you apply a blast shape or eldritch
essence invocation to your eldritch blast (see page 130),
your eldritch blast uses the level equivalent of the shape
or essence.”

Any other references to eldritch blast being something
other than the equivalent of a 1st-level spell should be
disregarded.
Any other references claiming that eldritch blast is not
an invocation should be disregarded.
A warlock can use eldritch blast at will.

Oh yeah... I'm taking those feats now! :]
 

Maximise Spell-Like Ability is strictly better than Empower (double average damage rather than x1.5), and can be taken at the same level, so I'd suggest taking that instead.
 

It's not strictly better. Empower has the capacity to deal 50% more damage than Maximize. To be strictly better, there cannot be a category where Maximize was worse.

But that is really because of the empower SLA, right, not much to do with quicken SLA?

My warlock has quicken SLA and I've found it very worthwhile...if I'm using it correctly.

It's not better if you have my dice! :cool:
