I just want to apologize. I feel like I have been asking so many questions. But there is so much to understand!
Anyway, I really do not know anything about Warlocks other than that a Daggerspell mage melee warlock sounds neat.
Please critique:

Feel free to slam the build if it sucks - I really do not understand warlock, nor how Daggerspell mage really works either.
I did not take last two levels of daggerspell mage because I wanted 26 bab. Was this a mistake?
Bombs away!

What is Neverwinter Nine on the server?
About the build: seems you have a lot of attacks but no real damage will come from them since you're using daggers. Only reason why you'd need those attacks are for sneak attack dice - which in this case you cannot really use without hips/feint.
Build seems inferior to classic warlock but Its just my opinion. It can potentially be good after testing is done. Perhaps with invisible blade wounding and feint somehow added to this mix?
Personally I aimed more to rogue/shadowdancer for hips and hide and ditch Dragonslayer.

NW9 is just "bodyguard" on the server.

It should work. Though I would have some other damage type. Acid is good, as is magic, but you can at times deal more damage with cold or fire also.

It's certainly an interesting build, and will probably be fun to play. It's kind of all over the place in terms of what it aims to do, but maybe it's got enough versatility to tackle most situations and still be moderately effective. Typically, Daggerspell Mage builds can be improved by getting rid of. . . well. . .Daggerspell Mage, but I'm not so sure in this case.

To make Daggespell an improvement for a build instead simply a quirk you just need a way to utilize some of that sneak attack. With current changes Daggerspell is really cool and worth it if created with this in mind.

I mean, I suppose in the case where you want to do damage via sneaks (stealth or feint) AND you're sweating your overall caster level, then maybe Daggerspell Mage makes sense. But I still suspect I could make a better build without it.
