Hey guys!
I'm back with some consideration about a hexblade character I'll be playing.
Before anyone mentions it or links it - I've read both the hexblade and warlock guide. And they did give me some fundamentals to play with, but not a complete build.
I want to make a fey-pact hexblade feycharger!
What synergies should I be looking for first?
What support can I find here to make it work comparable to a martial rogue/fighter feycharger?
I'm kind of into the Shadow Dancer paragon path for this. Seems to mesh pretty well if I maintain a teleport focus.
Thoughts and ideas? It was hard to find detailed opinions about that paragon over all.

There's no Hexblade build because they build themselves - you don't get many choices in the matter. Just take the highest rated feats and items and you're good. But 'tis the season to be charitable and all that so:
Most of your support will be in three categories -
Light Blade support - LBE, Rogue MC, Deft Blade
Charge Support - Surprising Charge, Horned Helm, some other items
Frost Support - Lasting Frost, Frost Shard, Gloves
There are probably more bits to each of those packages, thats just what I can remember ATM.
The easiest way to boost teleports would probably be to AIP for Light Blades and offhand an Incisive Dagger. This would also open up DIS depending on who you talk to.
Shadow Dancer is nice, but there is likely something better. Then main benefit it gives is CA, which you can get through a number of ways like Wintertouched, Cunning Stalker, or Evermeet Warlock invisibility. I'd probably go Evermeet with this build myself.
Oh, if you're doing White Well, switch Frost support for Radiant Support, and you'll probably want to find some way to go Morninglord for your PP.

Only if you do not care about accuracy, and have unlimited access to items.

Just want to also mention pixie with Streak of Light, if you're going with the rogue charge support. If you go eladrin, there is swordmage advance as an option.
I'd skip the gloves of ice in favor of Strikebacks, since you can't otherwise get many immediate attacks as a hexblade.
Instead of LBE, you may want WLDE, so you can offhand a staff of ruin for your implement powers, particularly since you're likely to reserve maneuver out your level 11 for a double/tripple hitter(ish) implement power like Confounding Laughter or Lure of Minauros.

Wait what? Hexblades have 1 native imediete action attack and spam at wills like crazy which means easy access to WRMR which means you could be launching a lot of imediete action attacks...

Yeah, given WLMR, Strikebacks are basically a Daily Power and a +1 to OAs. There are definitely better gloves.
You wouldn't want to do the Eladrin Swordmage Advance thing because that means none of the Rogue support.
And you wouldn't want to do WLDE for Staffs because then you're not gaining DiS on your Weapon Powers.
1 for 4 there Mengu, I'll give you pixies being a not-terrible option.
