The damage isn't that bad, actually. 10 from Hexblade feature, 4 from enhancement, 4 from DIS, 3 from Shard of the Mage, 4 item from Staff of Ruin, 3 from Academy Master, 5 from Gauntlets of Brutality, 2 from Weapon Focus, total damage bonus is identical to Brona's at +35.
EDIT: Silly me, I forgot CHA. Noticeably higher at +41 then. Arcane Admixture + Frostcheese would increase it up to +47.
