Built to impose as much attack penalty as possible.
Mostly focued around Dizzying Mace + dazing, which gives -10 to hit. Tack on Psychic lock for -2 more rattling -2 (encounter powers only). = -12 (14 with encounter powers) to hit (and dazed).
And a conditional -2 to all cursed targets when your boon triggers.
This can be done 4 times with encounter powers, 1 with eldrich blast (+theme power), and 1+pact boons with Hand of Blight.
+40 to hit (below 0), 42 with CA (though dazed), maby 1 more from prime shot, as well as an encounter reroll.
So we shouldn't miss much, but the enemy will.
Damage is weak, since you'll often be sacrificing your curse bonus, and warlocks arn't top dealers anyways. buildShow

I looked at warlock with Dizzying Mace for Headspin. The problem is it can't apply the penalty in an area, so it just pales in comparison to cleric and invoker versions of Headspin, which are doing the same thing to many targets. I do think Warlock is useful as a multiclass for Feast of Souls, though, as well as Word of the Sorcerer-King (in the Headspin thread, I built a fighter|battle cleric/warlock this way).

True, i can't do much AOE, but i get more accuracy and a bigger penalty, as well as am able to do it more often.
Probably still slightly worse then headspin, but i turn crits into normal hits.

Link to that thread plox? I was just thinking about it like 10 minutes ago.
But yeah, I was gonna say a similar thing to this. This would be much better if you could apply the penalty in an area, still ok as it is though.
Cryptic Commander: a Tiefling Wizard|Warlord - Arcane Wayfarer - Planeshaper that focuses on controlling every creature in an encounter.
Feyknight: A Half-Elf Knight - Gladiator Champion - Marshall of Letherna build that uses Eldritch Strike and the White Lotus Riposte feats to create a decent catch-22 with his mark aura.
Novamancer: a Wizard/Swordmage - Malec-Keth Janissary - Radiant One that specializes in area damage, somewhat item dependent but is capable of massive damage.
the Epic Crit-Fisher: Avenger/Ranger-PMC-Eternal Seeker with a 2,560 damage crit-fishing nova.
Eldritch Slayer: A Slayer - Kulkor - Destined Scion that uses a similar trick to the Knight, combined with Kulkor for some decent DPR.
Polearm Seeker|Fighter: A Seeker|Fighter/Psion - Kensei - Destined Scion build that uses Polearm Momentum to not be super bad.
Generic Runepriest: A generic type Runepriest/Fighter - Hammer of Vengeance - Destined Scion

True on all points except the accuracy (Headspin rolls twice via Divine Oracle, so it wins out on accuracy imo). It's still an interesting build, and I have my eye on the Starlock article to see if any aoe dazing possibilities emerge there.
In particular, I think a Fighter|Warlock Mace build can be very interesting, using Eldritch Strike w/Combat Challenge for off-turn curse damage/slides, and with the great dailies like Feast of Souls and Word of the Sorcerer King. Ironstar PP+Thundering Mace+Mountain style can add -6 to saves, at the cost of many feats. Might be better just to go Avernian Knight and different feat choices, though. We'll see what the Starlock article brings.
Has anyone done this with a cleric/warlock mc fighter con/wis build? With hybrid BCL you would not need to worry about armor.
I do like that you used nightmare weaver. That is one of my favorite warlock paragon paths and was planning to use it with the feylock I used a long time ago, but the campaign never made it to paragon.

What's the to-hit for headspin? 65%?
1-(.45*.45) = 0.7975, or hit on a 4. vs hit on a 2. (plus an encounter reroll)
You need a reroll @ 80% to beat it. Which is possible if you do the revenant/deva cheese.

Probably better than 65% with Headband of Intellect/Accurate Implement plus the fact we have combat advantage a lot of the time (on redazing already dazed targets). But your build does apply more penalties, so it's better on a single target.
