I just want to say that I looked at a Warlock/Blackguard in the builder a bit and the build is fully viable as a Glaivelock in my mind except for one thing. HP will be really low. Like less than 200 low.

Long as you make sure you qualify for Eldritch Master on your Warlock you are going to wreck the server in PvE end game. There may be a tough little area from 21-25 or so where you will beat your head on a wall but this happens to every build. :lol:

I think probably the best build is a Daggerlock but you have to play CN or CG Warlock/Feylock to be that when attaching the Dagger Spell Mage class to it. Which has the NO EVIL requirement.

Next in line would be a Warlock/Dragon Slayer. Dragon slayer with it is a great combination because Dragon Slayer with a full 10 levels grants Greater Spell Penetration helping you to punch on through Spell Resistance later on for Dragons and such that have Acid Immune. As well as in PvP against Spell Resistant PCs with Acid Immune on.

Actually yes, that helps quite a bit. One thing I was wondering, is if Feint might be a good solution for the AB issue? I think at a BAB of 23, plus strength, plus weapon enhancement, I should wind up around 36AB. With Feint, that might make up the difference enough to be effective.

Feint is unreliable at best. It works in some areas, but the higher level you get, the less effective it is. If you really focus on bluff gear and other buffs to increase your bluff you may find it marginally useful, but it is never going to be a reliable way to consistently land attacks.

Depends, If you're in the UD 98% of things can be feinted, the only issues being 1 of the duergar spawns, 1 of the drider spawns and the 2 bosses.
I never make mistakes…I thought I did once; but I was wrong.

Good point... Underdark makes Feint far more useful.
