MINDBITE SCORN
Prerequisite: Warlock, Warlock’s Curse class feature, sorcerer-king pact
Benefit: Your Warlock’s Curse extra damage increases by 1d6, and this additional damage is psychic.

 Does this dice become a d8 with Killing Curse ?




Yes, since it is specifically an extra die of Curse damage.

Does it have anything in here about the gloom pact or Vrylokas?

There is no gloom pact warlock.  There is a gloom pact binder and hexblade, and you can find info about them in their respective guides however.

Not sure what section it would belong in, but could you put up a sub-section discussing what the best Twofold Pact combinations are?

Sample from my own experience, for a curse-heavy build (Hexer, Eyes of the Vestige exploitation, etc), Infernal and Kinglock go together very well with Shared Boon, especially with the feats offering alternative benefits to regaining Fell Might.

Why the Dwarven Feat Dwarven Weapon Traning is not in this handbook ? I think it's solid feat for a GISH or TANK

Personally, I prefer use the Fullblade and give to a Dwarf a Morgenkrad (brutal 1 ) but for a axes'users the Frost Fury Weapon a good option for a CON'lock GISH.
Property : when you hit with it, you deal CON mod cold damage if you are bloodied.
Pretty isn't it ?

What do you think of that ?

currently building my first Warlock and reading through your guide to help select powers.  just wanted to bring up that i disagree with your rating of Fey Bargain.  i think it's absolutely terrible, and here's why.

it's basically only 10% likely to have any effect at all.  let's say that with whatever bonuses you have to attack, you need to roll a 10 on your d20 to hit your target.  this makes it so that an 8 or 9 will also hit.  so, if you roll a 7 or less, it does nothing, since those rolls would have been misses with or without Fey Bargain, and if you roll a 10 or better, it does nothing, since those rolls would have been hits with or without Fey Bargain.  so Fey Bargain only has an effect on your roll if you roll an 8 or a 9, which is a 10% chance.

if it were able to add after the roll and you had fished out your target's defense number, that would be a cool power, and i'd be willing to fail my next save for such an effect.  as it is, i think it's terrible.

You're right that it's not an amazing power, you're entirely wrong for why.

+2 to hit is amazing, if you don't understand why, I don't know what to tell you; the only problem with this power is that it's a Minor Action (yay cursing and moving) and only affects 1 attack per encounter.  Also, this guide isn't being updated, you should head over here and ask DDS why he thinks the power is Sky Blue.

I was looking at Obedience's Reward for my 17 lvl character Swordlock with Sorcerer kings pact and two fold pact Vestige (Astral Acendant).

With Mindbite Scorn, Vile Resonance my curse damage will be 2d8+2d8+1d8

Obedience's Reward
2d8 + (ex.Our Rogue CA Sneak Attack 1d10+12+3d8)(..extra damage equal to your Warlock’s Curse damage if it hits 5d8)+(Radiant Curse 5d8)

+25(5+20) att: 1d10+12+15d8

If i'm not afraid of Vile Resonance I could action point (Dooming Action+action surge) 4d10+9+5d8

How does this fare as a nova?
Is the use of Radiant Curse with Obedience's Reward a stretch?
