I would probably add Shadar-kai only to the Con list. If you were already planning to play Shadar-kai it might make it worthwhile, but I certainly wouldn't play one just to get Reaper's Touch over Eldritch Strike.

Eldritch Blast is about 2xInt better than Eldritch Strike for the maximum "how much can you optimize a charger" level 30 warlock build. There's also something to be said about a range 10 MBA.

To get the int mod damage to the blast you need to be fey, so as shadar-kai i am presuming eldritch blast is not as useful as eldritch strike.

You are not looking at the myriad options Epic Destinies like Reincarnate Champion present you.

darkarchonisme: Yeah, the difference in ratings between those powers makes no sense, Far Realm Phantasm is disgustingly better for Star Pact. There are a few things that grant an IA attack triggering off of "an enemy misses you", but enemies can still hit with a -Secondary to hit (just ask any Ranger how often his Disrupting Strike actually matters, anecdotal but you will see it) and the enemy could always use a Burst/Blast/Skirmish attack and thereby only (probably) miss 1 target. I personally consider All the Sand, All the Stars and Touch of Command to be better anyway.

Flames of the Smoking Crown is pretty terrible, OGD and you can't apply your curse damage because the damage roll is an effect, isn't great for a striker. Can't really go wrong with Command Insanity at level 9 (especially if you plan on going Entrancing Mystic at 11), and Roaring Storm of Cania as you mentioned is a great L5. Onyx Queen is a Con attack, not sure why you'd consider it.

I admit I don't really understand a lot of these ratings, probably a consequence of both updating things and not backrating (rating old things based on a new power) and trying to rate a class that is strongly dual-role (Striker/Controller)

well that makes a lot of sense, regarding the older ratings not being updated and the challenges of rating a class that is pretty good at being dual role.

although the roaring storm of cania was what I was considering taking for my level 9 daily. there just seem to be NO great options for a CHA/INT character in that list. at level 8, i'm looking at 14 con, 19 int, and 20cha. some con powers will still be okay, what with hidden sniper / shadow walk + improved fate of the void, but I try to limit them to truly holy **** options like frigid darkness (mother of god that spell is amazing)

Would y'all say that the vestige of the onyx queen is at about that level of holy crap? or would I be better of taking a great lvl 5 daily instead of a level 9?

EDIT: nevermind that second paragraph, command insanity is Cha or Con. still not sure if command insanity is worth taking over roaring storm of cania while wearing the glasses of charming. -recharging command insanity with a -2 to hit, that the target is unaware of being used on them(!)

Will post character summary, except the builder keeps wigging and locking uo when try to save my character.

Just wondering, i am playing a hybrid warlock/paladin and essentially the fighter in our party recently died, so i am the only defender in our party, annoyingly enough the paladin's mark is not the best and i am only 8 so i cant even pick up protective Hex and psychic lock, are there any good defender powers that warlocks have??? Also i am Cha based.
