I missed the last couple of patches and was wondering if any of the EK abilities got proper scaling with the new melee power etc.. revamps? I see the tooltip and wiki also don't make mention of the 4D6 force damage you get for the duration of the capstone while powered up. Looking at the Warlock preview and the last 3 class revamps I was hoping maybe some of the scaling or mechanics rubbed off so EK can make use of it's on hits, cleaves and capstone.

You mean more than getting a boon from MP in general and force spellpower in general?

I mean imbues actually scaling with something, the cleaves damage actually scaling to a respectable level( can it still hit for 0?), and the capstone scaling outside of just 10 melee power and 25 sp for 30 seconds. I remember imbues were stuck at 4d4, the capstone 4D6 not scaling, cleaves having terrible spell power scaling or hitting for 0, and the capstone melee damage barely doing anything.

You'd think it would benefit from spellpower.
I honestly don't know now that I'm looking at it.

I'm going to hop on soon. I have a bunch of EKS that I scrapped or shelved. I can't help replaying them to be honest but I never TR. I would think by now even without a EK revamp at the very least some of the new scaling toys would bleed over with all this 200% melee power scaling and the new eldritch blast awesomeness. If the scaling still isn't there I guess I will continue trying to get my eldritch vanguard leveled up.

AFAIK, EK hasn't been buffed in ages and is still a pretty poor DPS PrE. :( In particular, EK Strike / Tempest should scale with Spellpower; but I haven't heard anything about the Spellsword imbues scaling with anything.

Looked over some of the notes I had missed and messed with the imbues a bit on my 14 sorc since I don't have any 20s anymore. Nothing seems to have changed so looks like my pures are still shelved while i hop on the mutliclass later.
