Max FOD/Wail DC for a TR Wizard

[Lux-Aeterna]

I have finished my second life as a WF Wizard and I plan to TR twice more in order to have a max save or die caster.
I have yet to decide to go WF again for general WF arcane awesomeness or do Drow for a +1 higher DC. I am leaning heavily toward the infinitely more durable WF.

I also need to make sure that I have not forgotten anything that could boost my DC further.

This is what I have so far. Am I missing anything?

Intelligence
18 base (20 if Drow)
5 level up
6 enchanted
3 enhancement
3 exceptional
2 capstone
3 tome
--------
Total INT= 40/42
+15/16 to DC

Spell Focus Necromancy/Greater Spell Focus Necromancy feats= +2
Three Arcane Initiate feats from three wizard past lives= +3
Greater Necromancy focus item= +2
Spell level= +9
Base= +10
-------

Total Wail/Finger DC = 41 (WF) /42 (Drow)

Three items I know of are missing from here. The first is the Litany of the Dead trinket. This provides a +1 profane bonus to INT. The second is the only +7 INT item I could find on the static listing, the Epic Staff of Inner Sight. The third is a +4 tome. Since my INT is an even number I would need two of these items to increase my DC. I do not think I can spare both of my hands for a staff, and thus the staff is out as a reasonable option. I also can't see myself finding a +4 INT tome in a million years so this renders the abbot trinket moot.

How does this look?

Thanks for the input.

The choosable past life feat can only be taken once.

The free one (the + to spell penetration) can be gotten up to 3 times.

[Logic]

I think you can only take the +1DC wizard past life feat (Past Life: Arcane Initiate) once. The passive wizard spell pen past life feat stacks up to 3 times.

You can pick up +2 int from completionist if you are really crazy :P

This is incorrect. That feat is only selectable once so -2 to your dcs that you have here.
Greater Necromancy focus item= +2
Spell level= +9
Base= +10

Was just about to fix this, but thank you.

My 1st post edited for correctness.

You can only take arcane initiate once?
Are you sure?
Is this intended or a bug?

The past life feat thread seems to indicate otherwise.

These feats have a minimum level of 3 to select, and can be selected more than once. These feats do cost a feat slot, and all have a passive and an active component. Passive components are always active on your character, while active components must be triggered to take effect.

Pay no mind to the devs - they know much less about the game than us.

[Lux-Aeterna]

Ah well. That's too bad. I think I'm going to hold up on more Wizard TRs until this is resolved one way or another. Thanks for the help.

I just asked a friend that has a 2-TR wizzy and he confirmed that you can only take the feat once to raise all spell DCs.
