These two descriptions confused me.
1. A warlock's invocations are spell-like abilities; using an invocation is therefore a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
2. All invocations, including eldritch blast, have a somatic component.
Are these two descriptions always true?
If they are always true, then you can't apply Quicken Spell-Like ability on invocations (even the book clearly says you can). Since using an invocation is always a standard action.
If they are not always true, then some invocations should not include somatic component. Like Flee the Scene which mimics Dimension Door (no somatic component but need verbal component).
So, which one is it?
