www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/w...A quick scan shows that they changed Curse damage to 1/turn, and some minor changes to the damage powers deal. Overall very minor changes.
...whatever

They NEED to make dire radiance either con or cha or add another at-will for cha starlocks. Serious.

Does 1/turn curse break Astral Ascendant?

So its cool for Eldritch Blast to just be a shortranged longbow? I mean, I think this power is a contender for worst striker at-will in the game, and its forced into every lock build who doesnt want to be melee.

And...which warlock would that be? There's literally no character who shouldn't want a good MBA. Yes, this includes wizards and invokers.

This.
Overall, not totally impressed on first reading. It's obviously not a travesty like the original Templar article in that it castrates an already middle-of-the-road class, but at the same time it really doesn't do a whole lot to improve the class as a Striker. Some damage increases on powers are ... meh. A bump in the number or level of dice here and there don't really make that much of a difference. (Would it kill them to actually make the more damaging Warlock encounter powers half-damage on miss, a la some of the Wizard's redesigned powers?) And for all the minor buffs, Hurl Through Hell getting damage-nerfed really makes no sense.

I was really shocked it did not get a die upgrade (2d6 would be my idea but 1d12 would be fine too)

Even with the control, 1d6 damage on Eyebite, Dire Radiance and Hellish Rebuke(initial damage, extra damage on the second two should stay 1d6) is pitifully low for a Striker.

While I haven't really seen an Invoker or Wizard have need of a good MBA, that doesn't mean that Eldritch Blast should be well, a crappy longbow.

+1 I can't believe that they did not change that in the update. Seriously, why is it not Con or Cha?
