The Positive damage Eldritch Doom blast...
I love it, I really do, but here's the thing... There's a FLASH effect that seems like it's designed to cause seizures.
I'm not epileptic but I swear it gives me headaches after a while.

On the target or the caster?

Greater eldritch doomblast with positive damage flavor from the unseelie pact fey, it causes the screen to almost flash white for a moment when cast.

Given that you will probably be casting this twice a round with haste, that means you end up seing constant white flashes on screen.

(The healing effect on the caster abd allies is ok, i'm talking about the positive energy explosion animation)

Oh, hrm! Bat created that VFX, I'd have to check how easily it can be edited.

Hideous blast can be considered a targeted spell or ability latched unto an attack animation. It is not a mode of combat, in the sense that power attack is one.

So just as you cant use knockdown or called shot or fireball with whirlwind attack, neither can you use hideous blow.
To believe in an ideal is to be willing to betray it.

My feedback would be I love warlocks but the Abyssal Surges need to happen more often. Also please return the ability to turn people into chickens and cows instead of just quasits. As well turning into a balor is more harmful to the warlock than beneficial because you can't cast spells and the form doesn't raise your AB enough to grant the lack of being able to cast spells and only relying on your Eldritch blast. It also doesn't allow you to fight melee very well.
