Conjuration focus on eldritch summons

[Darkrazzy]

The wiki for arelith conjuration says it effects the summon creature spell line, but says nothing about eldritch summon for warlocks, yet the cookie cutter build guide for summoner warlocks suggests taking greater conjuration focus. Does this actually effect eldritch summons or not?

You're better off with making lesser druid sequencers, IMO. But you do get a little bit of a boost in stats with the feats. Most summoner builds don't pick those up anymore due to other parts of their build they want to strengthen like Abjuration (IGMS Immunity with Shield scrolls), or spells schools that make their pact spells more impactful.

If I remember correctly, Eldritch summons will get the stat boosts, which stack with sequencers, from epic caster levels and greater conjuration focus. However, since it doesn't raise the tier of the summon, it is rather weak for a two feat investment when you could get arcane defense abjur for the same.

Eldritch summons benefit from spell focus.

The special gate ability they have does not.

Both benefit from epic caster level caster level

Not sure why people would take abj def on 30 warlock.

The cookie cutter guide was also made before spellcraft buff. Like your tenticles spells (conj focus) is conj.

You could get away with fiendish crown and get spell focus conj 1 instead. If you want a different head slot. Just rest with it. Summon your eldritch and then buff your charisma before swapping (since you lose 2 cha which may have impacted your bonus slots for the day).
