[QUOTE="WOLead, post: 4280005, member: 65571"] Well shoot, with that style of attack I'm tempted to switch to Infernal. It would even keep a combo attack that can be counted as simply cruel against one opponent. Sadly it has to wait until you hit level 10, and can only be used against one opponent a day. At level 9, take Summons of Khirad as the Daily and at level 10 take Shadow Form as the Utility. Summons of Khirad is 2d10 damage using Con vs. Will, which is weaker damage wise then the Iron Spike of Dis 3d10 Con vs. Ref. What follows the damage is worth the minor 1d10 damage loss. Choose one tough non-flying target. On your turn, open with Summons of Khirad and teleport him nearby, then with your minor action use Shadow Form, and end the turn after you move 6 squares straight up. On your next turn, fly as high as you can while keeping the target in range 10. Then use the Sustain Minor action from Summons of Khirad to teleport the target 3 squares above and a square over yourself. Since diagnols only count as 1 square, you can drop a monster from a height of 14 squares, or 70 feet. Something falling from 70 feet takes 7d10 damage. Which you can keep up constantly until you miss as you fly above insubstantial, because while Shadow Form does take away your Standard Action, it doesn't take away your minor action to Sustain Minor the Teleport effect from Summons of Khirad. 7d10 damage per turn against one non-flying target until you miss with a Con vs. Will. How can an Infernal Warlock not like the sounds of a screaming soul falling past and smacking into the ground prone, repeatedly at that? Since the level 9 Daily and level 10 Utility don't have anything to do with armor or temporary HP, it could be a useful alternative to M/Cing those skills out for melee. Edit: Actually, that may only be 6d10 damage as I think the actual fall distance is only 65 feet. Oops. [/QUOTE]
