 ===== Level 40 Invocations =====
-**Least**: Frightful Blast (requirement for Lord of All Essences), Dark One's Own Luck (useful to cap important save, perhaps replace later when you got +20 from items), Eldritch Spear (for situations where the NPC has high reflex+evasion or is on a platform and to far)

 ===== Dungeons =====
-Great at killing Balrog, including HC version. Also Shadow Crypt including HC of course. Should be able to handle Minotaur Maze too, Moria, Frosty Tower and Kuo Toa although whether it can do HC I am not so sure about. If so probably not very fast and efficient I am afraid. So not very universal build as it cannot beat Mechanical dungeon. Hence off-meta. But it is fun to play for sure!

-EDIT: It can beat normal Mechanical, but HC is out of question lol.
 ===== Build Notes =====
-<del>I still have to playtest this in the field. It is possible it needs a penetration feats rather than raw blast damage I took.</del> HC Balrog beated, it doesn't need more penetration.
 I highly recommend Halfling race, it is +1AC and immunity to Chilling Tentacles. The skill points are enough, or rather I did not find need for UMD since Warlock can use anything with Sorc/Wiz/Bard use limitation without UMD.
