I see on your character sheet you added a second lock level; do you have an updated version of that? Or is it just something you tested?
I just tried consume + debuff (T2 ES) against rednames/bosses but found another way to improve my prr/mrr dramatically. My PRR is around 400-430ish in combat and can bump it up close to 500 for a short period of time (like 10 sec) MRR is 300+ now which is basicly the double what I had before.
I didnt need to sacrifice much only 15% helpless damage.
Ive aleeady added the changes for the augment sets and feats

Awesome, I still love playing the build. It reminds me of the old monster build was 12 F 6R 2 monk dualweilding kopeshes. And the arti Jug build. See you in the game!

Hey Zvd,

I have some questions:

-Have you considered tweaking the build go get higher DCs for Blast Drive or Tact. Detonation?
-Do you still currently use a "Freeze" effect or other CC effects that proc from your Aura? Did you get it from Icehorn, or somewhere else?
-What is your Intimidate skill? Do you switch your gear when Raid tanking?
-Is it smooth in tanking the latest raids on Hard?
-Have you ever tried having 3 Reconstructs? One from lvl 30 feat, One from Renegade Mastermaker, and one from the spell? Can they all work together?
-Why 20% Vulnerability(Vacuum) over 35% PRR debuff(Dust) in your questing weapon? Does it do more damage overall with this build?

Thanks!

I use Maw. Slotted Eyes od Shavarath + Deconstructor. CRafted Affirmation (1K hp proc) - helps a lot in high reaper

My dps weapon is an Undying Kukri. I crafted Dust on it, slotted Deconstructor and Feareater into it.

My Tactical DC in reaper is 93 + 3 reaper boost. Could be higher if I take PL feat (+1 dc) + Embolden (+2 dc) Think Dinon weapon can bw slotted with +2 Sacres dc IIRC.

The setup depenss what you want from the build. I currently went for max prr/mrr and ac.

For healing 1 reconstruct spell + Mending Burst all you need. Works fine up till R8 for selfheal.

You can tank any raid on hard with ease.
430+ ac, 400+ prr, 200-300 mrr, good self heals. Prolly you can solo any LH raid with the build 😀

Thanks for the answers!
Some more questions:

-How are you finding Shadar kai compared to WF? Which do you think is overall better?
-What is Extend for?
-Do you ever wish you had an AOE Helplessness stun? And have you experimented with Dire Charge or some ability like Color Spray for R8+ questing?
-Does Runearm Proc Arcane Warrior +1 Melee Power? Do you use your Runearm? If so, are the DCs enough?

SDK is amazing. Great fun. Good for endgame.
Extensnis for Tensers mainly.
Mighty Slam is amini AoE cleave stun and Tactical Detonatiom also KO mons (no helpless tho)
Ibuaes Dire charge up untill I swapped LD for Fury.
Idont really use actively runearm
 

Hobgoblin

Less Nerfy Nerfy more fixy fixy
walk me through sdk v wf?


they are both ugly but i just got the lovely new cosmetic so thats not a factor

gear wise does docents make a better choice?

Hey Zvd, a few more questions,

1. Why Dark Diversion from the Spring Equinox for -20 Threat?
2. What is your overall threat? You get 20% from Vulkoor's Might but you don't get more from other sources like Flash Drive or Warforged Brute Fighting. Is your threat enough for keeping boss aggro when tanking raids? Or do you switch your enhancements if you need to be a dedicated tank?
3. Do you use Intimidate for tanking raids and what is your Overall Intim?

It is very easy to pull aggro in raids so dark diversion ads -20 and an extra -20/30 from SD tree make things easier.
Doing some push raids withbthe guild so less threat is better for me. On LH raids I just stand next to tank so boss wontvturn away.
I use intimidate. No need tree swapping, only swapping runearm and maybe neck for.higher Intimi score.

I was wondering is warlock actually better then 1 wizard. With the one wizard you would gain a feat, and you could add evocation focus for more damage and gain 3 spells like jump and shield to better help. Is the pact die worth more than an extra feat? Just wanted your opinion.
