So I want a CC caster and Ive decided to go with warlock. I cant take the leveling with wiz, and they seem sort of weak. I have my past lives for the spell pen, so Im deciding to go with an acid dragonborn warlock for insta kills and cc so I can farm reaper. My question is, does maximize and empower aid my eldritch blasts? And also, should I take evocation feats, do they aid blasts? Thanks
