U73 Feylock: The Reaper's Bane

[Hobgoblin]

i can deal with that. i use a +15 ronko of greater monster bane and a clickie of apacrute to win bosses

 

[Frantik]

Would Arcane Pulse help for bosses? The build does push the DCs, and Ying's character does have a ton of reaper xp and health and states that iirc build is focussed on cc and damage.

Edit: not sure Arcane Pulse would help dps wise. Testing first life version (i had a CM warlock doing nothing; was going to try AotS but lesser TRed to Fey) and so far so good, but that is in early epics so no conlusion yet.

question. why conj?

just for hentai and tts?

 

[Fisto Mk I]

just for hentai

Grandpa Freud approves!

For first life test (Chaosmancer pure Warlock - i had a level 15 AotS build ready) and the limited AP, reaper xp, EDP, and gear (Cormyr) i changed a few things regarding the excellent build guide; the issue us mere mortals have is that we don't have a trillion rxp and a chest full of pertinent raid items in our banks, so gear wise it will be the best I can do at start with a plan to farm better items.

32 point build 8/8/16/14/8/20

I have a +8 supreme tome. Skills: Perform, Spellcraft, Heal, Search and Spot (I forget about hidden doors and traps all the time and locating hidden enemies is always good); 10 into Jump, 1 into Tumble and UMD.

CM 17 AP (lose deflect arrows, evasion and speed, gain sonic spell power and 4 CHA)
TS 41 AP
SE 5 AP
VKF 6 AP
FI 15 AP

I could of course dump FI and go deeper into SE and grab the cone, but I chose FI for perma shield spell (freeing up level 1 spell slot) and +3 spell penetration; I had originally planned not to spend 6 AP in VKF and less AP into SE and more into FI to get +2 CHA and more spell crit but Deflect Arrows makes me sleep better at night.

Feats:
Quicken, Maximize, Enlarge, SF Evo, GSF Evo, SF Conj and Shield Proficiency (with -15 ASF augment costing 20 Tokens and Ettercap Incursion Large Shield)

Followed Epicsoul's advice, dropped EA and went back to PA ... my plan is
SC 37 EDP (mantle, strike, moment)
PA 15 EDP (sky, heart, T2 aoe heal)
FS 17 EDP (+3 spell pen)

Epic feats
Epic Blast die, Epic Pact die, Embolden, Epic Sonic Power, Epic SF Evo, Harbinger of Chaos, GSF Conj, Scion Fey, SS (Conj), Epic SF Conj, SS (Evo)

If i were to get filigrees to work +1 imbue into my toon, i'd swap out Harbinger for Epic Force spell power or maybe Titan's Blood if I decided to take Harbinger at level 34 instead of 28 (doubtful).

At level 25, low reaper, damage and cc work nicely and relatively fast (not perfect but not at all struggling either), and heals are good.

This version uses chain not cone with physical blast damage. Will soon have -105 threat no items.

I plan to keep shield (+15% health) until i get round to farming more iod comps (i need a lot for this build alone plus the +6 SF augments drop fairly regularly). Ultimately 2 non-attuned Dino weapons with the 1k temp health proc (oops for the name) and IOD legendary ice. 3pc Vecna set, 5 pc Vecna set, IOD minor artefact (sonic crit damage), Legendary SM sonic ring and Legendary Shavarath ring and last piece will be (prob) Cannith crafted to get some insightful spell power. Once I have all this (I have most items in bank), then start farming MD to improve gear set (and running raids). Will probably also Epic TR 3 times if I see this "project" as worthwhile to grab +9 spell critical chance (sonic only).

I think he was the one that did the test

Any gearing updates to this build since lammordia came out?

 

[Ying]

I have a gearset that incorporates Chill loot. I'll post it once I test it out, but I wouldn't expect an update before lag is fixed. I have zero desire to play a lag infested game.

I’d love to see your gearset, I want to check if you managed to combine something new with the augments for Blast and Pact. I made some adjustments, but I still think it’s possible to improve.

 

[Ying]

I incorporated all four new augs for pact+blast dice at the cost of reducing MRR cap to 100 (was 130). I don't like publicly posting changes before I field test them myself. What you don't see with my build posts are all the painful and costly mistakes I made along the way. @Epicsoul and I will continue our tradition of duoing new content on R10 to put it through its paces first. I still need to farm out one item before I TR, and I'm not doing either until I can complete quests without laglocking.

I'd love it if you preserved the Vecna loot set. Its nice to be able to see full gearsets like this for people without access to the latest content. Plus, NOTHING i have on hand in my builds came with filigree lists.

Hey Ying - any news on the new gear layout / build

Waiting with baited breath

 

[Ying]

I'm not farming gear at the moment. I've exhausted my patience dealing with lag.

 

[Ying]

This is the U76 gearset I'm considering. It's going to be a while for me to farm out all the mats and two raid weapons, but decided to share since I've had requests for it. Once I actually TR into Dark Bargainer, I'll post an updated guide.

So I am currently doing a Fey pact warlock, similar in theory to this build, but working on racials. I currently run a good mix of Lamordia & Myth Drannor gear (quite a bit of relentless gear) , along with the same gloves. I currently am using dual Slayers of the living, and im about 85% certain it allows me to stack the dot twice as fast with it coming from 2 sources. But all in all with all of the crit multipliers I can stack on gear, im running 130 PRR (light armor) and 100 MRR, in Ravenloft r8 I was managing to keep kills close to a 150+ reaper point bow user. So dps is good (but much greater on prolonged fights). I managed to solo r8 back to basics with it yesterday. So i would say Fey pact performs admirably.

Question: Have you done any push raiding with this build?

 

[Epicsoul]

Question: Have you done any push raiding with this build?

Nope, neither of us have.

 

[Ying]

Question: Have you done any push raiding with this build?

Push raids generally dont want a Warlock. I think we've had one in all of our various push raids and that was to try out Absolute Zero. Warlocks would occupy the debuffer slot, and a debuffer would only splash Warlock.
