A Battlemind|Warlock could only use a Warlock power as his Reserve Maneuver.  Augmentable at-wills don't count as encounter powers.  Reserve Maneuver solves the problem of the Soaring Blade encounter attack being deadweight (although, if you're mostly spamming at-wills, your Warlock encounter powers are kind of niche), but it doesn't fix the power point issue.

Take escaped thrall.  Take sorcerer-king pact as your two-fold pact so you have fell might.  Take the feat that allows you to recover a power point instead of fell might.


Escaped Thrall gives 1pp.  It has a daily utility that you can take that has an augment where one of hte options is regain 2pp.

Psionic Scorn requires warlock, sorcerer-king pact, and the pact boon.  A nonminion enemy cursed by you drops to 0, you can regain a pp instead of your fell might.

Could you mc into warlock(sorcerer-king) and take twofold pact to elemental pact?  the vulnerability you get with the elemental pact stacks with any other vulnerability the monster has and you can get all of the benefits of being one class.  Feat heavy?  a little, but there is always a cost.

You don't qualify for Twofold Pact with just MC, you don't even qualify for the chosen pact's feats.

The SK Pact feat is interesting, I personally would just prefer the ring that recovers your PP 1/enc and taking Awakened Potential instead of burning a Theme and specific Hybrid.

In the context of a Soaring Blade Brutal Barrage build, you can't take Awakened Potential because you need to MC Monk.

As for the Ring of Mental Power, I'd say it's great if you can afford it or get access.

Escaped Thrall is good for a Genasi hybrid build but would preclude Sarifal for my Wilden build.

Yes, it does.  Once you swap soaring blade enc -> for warlock you can swap one of your other warlock -> bb at-will.  Read the miscibility handbook for a full explanation.

That handbook is wrong and the trick in question doesn't work. Reserve Maneuver is not a powerswap. It does not permanently replace the power in question. This is both the only reason it can be used on E11s, and why it will never allow you to retrain out your permanent encounter power.

No. Mommy is actually the only person who thinks that and has been repeatedly critisized for misleading others about it.

He also insists on perpetuating the idea that essentials hybrids shouldn't be able to get real powers for some reason.
