Any good Warlock Crowd Control builds?

Depends... does killing a crowd count as "controlling" it?

Use WEB as soon as you get it. Level 3 in the tainted scholar tree ...
Craft/ find conjuration item.
Cast web at every door way tight hallway.
Cast web in large rooms and run the mobs through it.
Spam chain or cone while they are helpless.

Also don't forget to put DESPAIR spell as soon as you get it. Level 6 tainted scholar tree

At level 10? You get evades tentacles . Use it. It is conjuration also.

Despair.....web....tentacles.... mobs are held..... blast away

Pretty much what you would expect: max your DCs and Spell Pen while focusing on CC spells and abilities like Confusion.

If you plan on running reaper content good CC (Crowd Control) is a must, actually it is the most important function within the group.
Wlk has 3 go to spells for CC, Web, Evards & Mass Hold) all of which are very effective, but by far the best is Evards.
That being said, try to max out Conjuration DC and Force spell Power, but dont forget to boost Enchantment DC too, Mass Hold is the reaper killer.
I personally would NOT take Spell Focus Conjuration, but DCs become more & more important as you run hight Reaper content, if you intend to runing lots of R10, it may be worthwhile to max out DCs. This last life I tryed to MAX out Necro DC, easly getting FoD save to 100, wich is more than enough for any R10 content.

Current build is as follows:

Isn't the Spell Penetration feat required to put points into Piercing Spellcraft? Isn't the Necromancy Focus feat required to put points into Necromancy Specialist and Precise: Evocation? I'm guessing you were specced in Spell Pen and Necro focus, set your destinies, and then reincarnated? Then you did the same for evocation? That should probably be mentioned in the build.

I'm not seeing where you're sacrificing DPS by taking Empower, Maximise, Intensify, Epic Eldrich Blast, Arcane Epic Eldrich Blast, and Hellball. Are the 6 DPS feats really helping you out in R10? Or are they there manly for farming / soloing flexibility?

I like the Feywild Scion selection, I think people overlook it for Shadowfell, but I think the heal amp is far nicer than anything you get in Shadowfell and the -2 to Necro +2 to Enchant DC swap is perfectly reasonable.

[LightBear]

I find this the best options for CC as a Warlock:
- Fey
- Eldritch Blast Shape: Chain- Faltering Blast
- Bewitching Blast


After that build up to acquire No Worse Fate.

And like others have said both web and the tangles as a fence between you and the mobs.

I prefer chain over cone because of the limited reach of cone but can understand that others do prefer that style.
