How Do I Make This Build Better? (link)

First life warlock, might have seen me asking around on how to get my character off the ground. Figured I'd just show some basics about my character sheet to make things a bit easier to compare. If you have more questions I'd love to answer them and talk about them more. Looking for suggestions on what to do to continue optimizing this, mostly for gear and enhancements right now. For epic destiny I went with dragon mantle and will eventually be going heart for the healing increase.

Been running around doing epics in sharn/vecna/phiarlan content and it feels pretty comfortable for the most part. If something is immune to fire I'm kind of screwed though. I am very interested in getting into reaper since it seems to be very close to mythic+ from world of warcraft but soloing hasn't been very successful. I feel like its a three way combination between me not knowing the quests very well, my character being unoptimized, and the hirelings are pretty dumb and unresponsive. Side note if anyone's on Khyber and has a guild that would like to have a new player, hit me up!

Well I personally have no qualms with your build, though I do prefer running enlightened spirit warlocks (personal preference for tankier builds). But I do notice you lack a set bonus. I would try out Esoteric initiate from sharn. It's 3 pieces goggle, armor, bracers. That would probably give you the most immediate jump in power.
Now it would take a bit of work but you could stack Esoteric with epic upgraded elders set from red fens, and epic deserts burning sun. These three set bonuses stacked would probably open up running reapers solo on that build if you play it carefully.
But just having Esoteric initiate would do you a world of good.
Draconic is definitely the correct choice for your main destiny.

And to specify elders set takes head and neck. I use deserts burning sun through boots and trinket. The rest of your slots would probably go to charisma, and cons gear. Or whatever other stats you may want.

For ES builds is it worth building for doing damage with my melee as well or should I just whack with my scepters while my aura does most of the work?

Get to 21 doing Borderlands, and look for the Ring of Crystalline Vanity, Belt of Crystalline Vanity, and the Silver Sigil Gloves. Also pick up 2 Arcane Ingots and trade those in for a pair of caster scepters for fire and light.

It would also be helpful to know what you are doing as far as your epic destinies - they make a HUGE difference in power levels once you hit 20. Night and day.

Draconic mantle. I have a single point in primal nature heart.

With an ES build you might as well poke a little bit. It won't do a ton of damage. But damage is damage.
