You can have everything I mentioned and still get control blasts.

For every round that a creature is caught in the area of effect, it suffers attacks from 1d4 tentacles, each capable of doing 1d6+4 points bludgeoning damage. With each hit the target must also make a fortitude save or be paralyzed for one round. In addition, each creature within the area of the invocation takes 2d6 points of cold damage each round regardless of whether they are struck by any tentacles.

I'm happy with my tentacles, thank you. Try making a pile of them and luring enemies inside. You also speak like if the AC of enemies in the OC was any high.

WoC, among other things, provides you infinite regeneration (5 HP/round), and lets you walk right into your tentacles while taking no damage (yes, cold immunity would also work if you can get it). You can cast when shaped, but it's a bug, so I'm not going to suggest it, exploiting that or not is a player's decission. Obviously, WoC loses some usefulness in epic because it doesn't scale with level, but I'm not talking about epic only.

About Kaedrin's: I'd definitely take Guttural Invocations. On the other hand, he made Combat Expertise to actually reduce blasts' AB, so I'd pass on that line of feats if using that mod.

As I said, what's better depends, on playstyle among other things. I'm not going to repeat the same over and over for several pages. If the OP has further questions, I'll be happy to answer, if not, I really don't see this discussion ending anytime soon, so I think I'll stop now and just agree to disagree (even if I don't exactly disagree with you, as your suggestions are perfectly viable, but anyway).

If you're against exploits, you should be passing on that line if you don't use Kaedrin's fix.

The things you two are disputing here seem pretty damn small.

Well thanks again for the info... yeah I'm new to warlocks but mostly the problem is my D&D knowledge is very very basic. Some acronyms specially go over my head, I had a website on that around but can't find it at the moment
I'll go epic eventually in MotB, but it's not my priority
I haven't played much yet but I'll give Kaedrin's pack a try at least for the start of the game (though the beginning on that village is a pain in the ass to do)... I get the impression I won't notice much of a difference on the mechanics, with my lack of D&D knowledge

Keep in mind that you can change invocations at level up, so you can easily experiment with them if you're not sure of which ones you prefer.

Ask if you have any problem regarding acronyms. For the record, WoC = Word of Change.

It doesn't work that way.  If you start with Kaedrin's you need to leave it in for that character.  Taking it out midstream will cause all kinds of problems depending on how much of the new content you've used.

I just make a character with it and one without... that's why I'll have to play that Harbor village thing twice, and it's as annoying as BG2's beginning when you're in a cage/cell

Harbor villiage is perfect for Frightful blast. When the enemy swarms the place, don't blast each one until it dies. Shoot it once then move on to the next target. You'll have them running in fear all over the place.
