Feindish grandmaster

[mr420247]

New build for heroic reaper racial tr xp zerging been getting positive feed back so going more in depth

Lawful neutral 18 Fiend warlock 2 monk

Races Human and all the rest

Tomes full set of 4 tomes fine for heroics

1-3 lock 4-5 monk reaper ready at 6

Stats 18 charisma, 16 con, 14 dex, 12 intel

Feats Maximize, empower, completionist, deflect arrows, dodge, extend for buffs feat swap out at 15 for quicken, adept of forms, master of forms, wiz pl, grandmaster of forms

Skills 2 pts in jump, 10 in umd, Max balance on monk levels up to around 30 great for heroics, spell craft, perform, concentration

Spells jump, shield, blur, displace, fire ice shield great defensive buff for reaper, Webs, tentacles main cc dump spell pen not needed

hurl your main insta kill, fod your backup, wail or mass hold if you want more cc

Enhancements mostly ts until lvl 12 chain blast, utterdark mainly, 12 on es, ts shining through, staunch, bursts, 17-20 monk prr is nice if you can fit it in

Main weapons dual wield cc crafted spell kamas at 12 max radiance, combustion or lvl 16 luminous truth staff is easy to farm off spinner

Perma centered in water or earth for max dodge, saves, prr, 30-35 dodge with no fail evasion, 100-120 prr easy to hit in robes

Reaper points starting out should all go into Con, dodge, saves boost tree when you have those maxed then start working on your caster tree

[slarden]

Based on the build I would go great old one rather than fiend. While the utility of hurl is nice, there are too many fire immune /resistant mobs especially when you get to higher heroic levels and will saves are generally lower than fort saves so you will get more damage.

Overall concept is nice but going with evasion vs mrr isn't a slam dunk choice in my mind. Warlocks have high MRR as a class trait so that combined with a high reflex save is a large chunk of mitigation (making reflex save plus 100 MRR is 75% mitigation). I don't think what you are doing is wrong, but choosing evasion over MRR means you lose the capstone and it means you miss the opportunity to learn how to mitigate trap damage effectively without evasion. There are a few places where evasion is superior, but overall I think the capstone is better at epic levels (any of the 3).

Updated the build for any that like it or have any questions

Great old one cannot be lawful, so no monk.

TRing at cap means you have the capstone for as long as it takes to empty your TR cache. Actually, I usually don't even spend the last 8 points, but that's just me.

[mr420247]

This is for heroic zergs your never going to see the capstone for 30 racial trs

Slardens was an old post its now updated

[unbongwah]

For HTR-only builds the issue isn't the capstone; it's giving up your lvl 18 enhancement when you presumably park at 18 to XP-farm your way to 20. If you're going T5 ES, having Celestial Spirit is pretty nice for the extra light dmg, faster aura procs, and KD immunity. Plus switching to pure warlock means being able to go GOO for the reasons slarden cites.

[slarden]

Great old one cannot be lawful, so no monk.TRing at cap means you have the capstone for as long as it takes to empty your TR cache. Actually, I usually don't even spend the last 8 points, but that's just me.You are right on alignment - was not thinking of the restrictions when I posted and was also mixing pure 20 in vs 2 splash. Racial TR definitely changes things - my post was before racial TR was available and running epics for first time bonuses made sense for rxp. That is why I specified it was helpful at epic levels. As for the MRR vs evasion trade-off for racial TR it really boils down to whether you can get a workable reflex save. With all the gear options I would say it's definitely very do-able now.

[mr420247]

No fail saves are no problem even without the reaper boosts even with a dex of 14 and a 4 tome n any junk gear u find

I basically use the doj bracers at 13 armbands of the silenced ones with fort augmented sure you can cc better

Right now perma centered at level 12 saves are 33 fort, 30 reflex, 32 will then boost with gh for 4s then reaper and human saves boosts for 13

If you really want overkill on your saves

When you hit 18 your just tring as soon as you cap anyways so the core is really not needed or used

And with the monk levels and maxd out balance you wont miss the knock down immunity either

lots of mobs like to trip that helps from level 6 on not just 18

[mr420247]

Couple notes for new players mainly robes, cloaks, rings

Early levels try and max your elemental absorbs with guards alot more defense a little more dps

Mid levels max absorbs with heal amps for better self healing

Fire, ice, acid, lightning, sonic it can help alot on some of the stacking reaper dot damage

Poison, un typed damage, and 1s can still kill you if your not prepared

Mainly knowing when to kite and when to tank adapt the play style to the quest

[alvarego]

New build for heroic reaper racial tr xp zerging been getting positive feed back so going more in depth ...

Built a rogue version for this, cause traps deserve respect ...

Can see it here: Feindish RogueMaster :D

[mr420247]

Just completed Tempest spine R5 at level 3 man team

Notes Dps is down i recommend any new players running this build go Fey

Less immunes faster early mid game runs

R3 bursting is still fine just play more aggressively

R4s are still easy if you stay on top of CC and range kite if u need too

Scaling peeps keep telling me is bad double hp and damage mobs so

Run with max 3 man teams faster rxp runs

Any questions will answer

[Phil7]

nice to see you sharing builds Dam... IT'S SPREADING!!!

Well we've already talked about this anyway, I like your build it's super safe for reaper zerg. Would definetly recommend it.
Me like other players prefer to stick to pure warlock GOO and cover my butt with Fire Shield scrolls, past lives and high MRR. But with pure warlock you can sometimes get rekt from champ fire/water elementals in R3+ :D
I'd say as a pure warlock you have to be a bit more careful and insta-kill the dangerous champs.

At level 14 I use Fanion to double my MRR against damage than can be affected through Reflex Saves. (http://ddowiki.com/page/Magical_Resistance_Rating#Shield_multiplier)
The saves are really high anyway from PLs and reaper tree (30+ and more than 40 with reaper clicky)
Especially in boss fights where Mutilator of Mind is mostly useless for boss DPS. At level 14 as pure lock the MRR is 60-80 depending on gear and reaper enhancements so double this and you are good to go.

[mr420247]

Thanks for the reply ya goo is good but charming could get hella nerfed

And its good having a 3 man team to cover each others immunes

My saves like a 40 base now closer to 60 with reaper boosts

[mr420247]

Back to racials good lives now half elf 6 r pts dragonborn after free dragonbreath

Notes monk splash 5-6 dump displace for enervation go fey till 17 max dps then feat swap free to hurl

Stats str 8, dex 14, con 17 + 1 r, int 12, wis 8, cha 17 + 1 r

Take half elf saves boost for no fail saves on 1s evasion now up to 55 base 64 ish w boosts

[mr420247]

Dragonborn lives had some ideas thought i'd try something a little different

Fiend pact with acid breath for all those low level immunes also works great with webs main cc

Then if i can free feat swap to fire at level 13 ish

[mr420247]

Just finished racials at 61 r points 11 r points

Final life dragon born of course

Stats str 26 dex 50 con 70 int 31 wis 29 cha 106 w ability n tod pots

Gear main night mother sw beholder n cha, off hand dusk, sky vault still kickin ass take that from my cold dead fist

armor coat traveler for now, gogs lgs fire crit multipliers or lgs hp set, hat memoirs, neclace resonation or lgs hp set,

slavers trinket, ring spinner, bracers dex, resistance, spell craft, qual con, boots ravenloff n devil commanders n 3bcs fom

belt burn scar dps or healer belt if ur lazy and want to raid heal, cloak mantle of fury

Epic feat notes hell ball ruins suck it in the reaper so f them right bogw and elusive and scion should be necro

Can hit 114 charisma with store pots n se capstone n ea ascendance

[mr420247]

Upgraded the gear set for high skulls now running with a 3 piece slavers 5 piece mist

Its not bad down like 2 dcs but you gain on prr, mrr, heal amp, spell power

[slarden]

Would you mind listing your gear - I am curious what you have. I am not entirely happy with my current gear set - am hoping U39 adds some useful things.

[mr420247]

Sure not gettin too much out for the 2 mist items skull ring gives me 1 stacking necro dc and the blood neclace gives me max mrr

but the prr mrr heal amp bonus def nice note though the devil commander boots do not seem to be stacking properly with the set bonus

Armor coat of the traveller, Head panosophic just cuz its an ez hat farm, neclace blood stone, resonation, lgs hp set, or strahd neclace max wis saves ac

Goggles lgs fire crit multipliers, or 2'nd hp set

cloak legendary mantle of fury was hoping to perma rage for stacking fort saves but that is not working either

belt burnscar or silverthread with max heal amp n heal crits self healing on r7s should work

Ring 1 spinner, ring 2 lantern, 2 skulled ring if u trap splash would go with the trap ring, gloves gauntlets of innate arcanum

boots legendary soft soles, devil commanders, bracers crafted slavers dex, resistance, qual con, spell craft

Weapons night mother, dusk, skyvault, mythic rod which covers all my bases

[Gilga1]

Weapons night mother, dusk, skyvault, mythic rod which covers all my bases

Gratz mate, well done!

Some tips on weapons. In my experience Dusk is bugged... or the proc rate is really low. Imho it's not worth it.
I'll suggest an LGS affirmation weapon as off-hand swap (+150 positive, +50 hamp, +70 hamp): +1000 temp hp are always handy and you can boost your hamp when healing is needed.
Skyvault seems a poor choice for a lvl 30 toon... my 2 cents

[mr420247]

Thanks ya i know dusk is another broken ravenloff item they probly will never fix

And ya its mainly for max rad crits, skyvault is just when u really want to max that prr tank mode

Dps mostly dusk, mythic rod just for max force crits for pulse

[mr420247]

New record just completed my first r1 strahd 0 deaths flawless victory

[mr420247]

Tweaked some feats n twists

Dropped empower, intensify, for greater necro, epic necro focus

Prefer permanent bonuses over clickies

Twists 4 Necro familiarity, 3 Necro Augmentation, 2 Necro dcs, 1 Reflexes or Will saves or sheath, 1 Rejuv

Epls dropped energy crits for arcane alacrity

Baseline 3100-3400 + hp, 177 prr, 135 mrr, Fort, Reflex 81, Will 67

[mr420247]

Got n 8 tome on the sale w twist for 110 cha on boss fights

2 more points for max reaper con 34 pts in dc tree all u need then all the rest in con

Now farming a mythic reaper ravenloff set work on slavers after that or dump it when the new stuff hits

[mr420247]

Learned something new Tsunami is amazing on the ravenloff golem fights

been forever since i seen anyone bother with it

[mr420247]

Tweaked some more enhancements dropped se completely for more blast dice

Max fire power and 3 more evoc dcs from drac

Last tweak if you really want the 5 mist and 5 slavers drop the skyvualt, mem hat for slavers hat n orb done

[mr420247]

Final dcs at 102 base charisma non reaper 41 points in es, 31 points in ts, 19 in drac

I use es displace to free a slot for dark discorp, shining through, staunch for healing so lgs aff not needed, free knockdown immunity

Fod 98, Hurl 81, Webs 89, Wail 99, Mass hold 90, Howl 90, Divine wrath 86, Circle of death 98, Sound burst 86, Flesh to stone 88

Can boost further with heighten and ts, reaper boosts.

EA Shadows upon you along with the Wiz pl with FTS still works quite well -12 saves debuff when you really need it

[mr420247]

New record completed our first R3 Baba on Cannith

[mr420247]

If you really want to tank up almost forgot need respec dump dex max wis probly hit 70 ish

[Vish]

Better Cotq procs and heals for your DPS

1200 positive spell power, 35 crit

Did some fast r7 tests was seeing 7k heal crits on my barb with mass heal

Dps dies boss fights take longer then you lose xp per minute

[mr420247]

Upgraded the old club n sw set for the update

+ 4 mythic night nighmother, 4 piece otto, 3 cha, n 2 rare cha 4 mrr

Prr at 210-230, mrr will be at 155 good as it gets till i get better reaper gear

Almost at final goal 94 reaper points 2 capstones and 4 stat dex or wis for of course mass frog

Probably after tiefling if it don't get nerfed

[mr420247]

Recpeced tweaked some things got the new filigree 2 cha

Db 12 pts, es 41, ts 29, se 2, harper 7

Max cha now at 120, repeced ea for 20 less light damage

Those are the hardest hitting adrenaline champs so if it stops 1 shot great

[NemesisAlien]

Brother,
Leave froggin to the clerics and the monks

That sounds so insulting lmfao :D

[mr420247]

Tried my first fotp r1 pug that was bad

Learned alot basically invincible even with redswarm so thats not too bad

R1 specs with bard buffs were 3.5k hp, 250 prr, 175 mrr in DC mode

[mr420247]

Done with the reaper grind now

Onto non stop r1 raid grinding and amber ransacks for + 9 armor

n ravenloft gear set for maxed out sorc pass

Easiest r1 raids to 3 man so far r ts, mod,

Pug the rest

Sharn hits dump slavers a good sorc will have over 300+ prr,

cleric 17/3 fighter will be a monster almost 400 w max wis n frog if they dont shaft divines again w **** gear

Dps is still impossible so dont waste your time even if you could you coudln't sustain it cuz challenge

Add stamina bars or remove blue bars cuz this is bs

Lynn said they'd finally fix dragon born arcanum next patch that is awsome so spell pen 60

[mr420247]

Just pulled a 6 con tome from fotp had no idea those drop there

Sweet pull for an alt

So not fun

[mr420247]

Loot gods came through got my coat 4 mythic prr, mrr 8 bonus not bad

Just a prr silver thread left now

[mr420247]

Update new must have LGS for raiding

Dust for physical, Ash for magical

Crafting kamas soon crafters back up checked all the options for ash looks like garbage

Thinking ooze ice absorb, acid absorb, acid absorb

[mr420247]

Respecd and tested taint the aura is working caster r10 dps still in the toilet but hey now

we can boost melee dps into the next level rock on better rxp per min i guess

Might have to go full on se for devour the soul too if thats all you care about

Crafted and tested LGS ASH it is still broken and not stacking so buyer beware

Ooze for the win

[mr420247]

Just tested ooze and frog out on amber its actually not too bad

I have mainly been playing magic arena lately - taking a few week break from DDO.


Just tested ooze and frog out on amber its actually not too bad What are you able to mass frog in Amber? frog works good on many undead and scarecrow without a wisdom investment, but that's about it.

[mr420247]

Well just did fast tests then immediately trd most undeads and constructs super ez soon i recap ill know more

[mr420247]

Just looking over the new gear the sets look op as f for divines and int casters surprise surprise

Not so good for cha sorcs locks or maybe thats just me

Best in slot looks like Collective sight gogs, Black satin belt, Cracked core neck, Trinket Con gloves

Then 4 slavers just use the cloak cheap set, and trinket heal amp DOJ, or blood rage

Armor Coat of the Traveller, or Shadowmail

[Gilga1]

Hey m8, I think you are wrong.... :)
Flamecleansed set is a really solid option for warlocks.
Also, Sharn offered perfect fits like Sigil of Regalport and Shattered Onyx.
I'm using Ender and I have maxed DCs with the unique exception of Quality Charisma (I have +4 only on a slavers crafted trinket).
126 CHA buffed. I'm sitting at 250 PRR and 200 MRR.

[mr420247]

After seeing you in action i'd agree with that

I'm short alot of codexs though for the enders but yeah combined they looked pretty good

[mr420247]

Finished trs and a sharn set updated gear and stats 130-134 charisma or max con if you can farm the raid neclaces

using the fvs set armor blessed vestments, cloak hallowed trail, bracers hallowed castigators, hat memoirs reaper,

[mr420247]

Was just testing my sharn gear out seem to lose 3 charisma if i don't completely remove it all then re equip it every time i log

Really buggy think it has to do with my artifact maybe

Ele absorbs at 66 fire ice, 69 acid, 61 lightning, 19 light ea, spell pen 38 bonus with arcane hymn

Just crafted a lgs radiance heavy pick 4x crits, holy, fire, fire, radiance might get some half decent dps with it on a tiefling

[mr420247]
