Leveling Gear:
Abashi set is great for leveling
Lifeshield of invulnerability robe
Superior potency Item for all levels
Superior clickies (Ardor / Brilliance)
Vibrant Ioun Stone unsuppressed
Worldshaper Mantle / pale lavender ioun stone (for beholders)
Trinket of Electrical Absorption 33%
Greenblade (or elfcrafted robe if no greenblade)
Torc (haha yeah if I could ever pull it)
Gloves of Glacier
Boot with guild slot (put power augment there for double sp on sorc / fvs lives)

Leveling Tips:
Wizard lives suck as human PM, I will try WF archmage next wiz life
Sorcerer I would go WF, fire savant until vale then switch to lightning
Favored Soul lives, I would stick with human

Having a person to TR with you or just run with you in general is a huge help
This is a great guide however I can support and have tried myself on 2 lives here


Feedback is welcome and appreciated

Don't the FvS and Wizard freebie past life feats add to spell pen, not DC?

[stoolcannon]

Would you mind posting a build that takes longer to complete? I don't have anything to do for the next 12 years.

[Jakarr]

Yea...looks standard TR'd Evoker...

Anyways The Wizard passive gives +2 Spell Pen each time, the Fvs Passive gives +1 Spell pen and the Sorc passive gives +1 Evocation DC. So total that ya get is +9 Spell Pen and +3 Evocation DC with a Passive +1 to all DC from Wizard Feat. Also the 120 total sp from all the tr.

thats why I said NOT for the casual player

he completed this build in under a year...

[voodoogroves]

Wizard x3 would be +6 to spell pen. Active feat is +1 to DCs.

Not to be a pain, but is there something novel here I'm missing other than "if you get all the past lives for the big casting classes your Nth life will be a great caster"?

Is there a gotcha?

[stoolcannon]

He has also never been outside to see that strange glowing orb in the sky. I play too much and that would take me approximately 247.3 years to complete.

sorry it is correct now

Well, he didn't want to grind too much, so he didn't pick up the 3 Barb TRs for 30 more hitpoints, and he also didn't pick up 3 Paladin TRs to maximize his healing amp with his capstone healing.

/sarcasm off

In all seriousness, if you are going to work that hard for that much extra spell penetration, I'd rather finish as a wizard or sorcerer. There is so much more you can do offensively as an arcane caster.

[Astars]

To tell the truth, Teth took the cheap way out. In epic quests, high DC symbols of persuasion are much more important than BB. So instead of "wasting" 3 past lifes on sorc he should have gone bard
Ever farmed chrono scrolls solo? Persuasion is your best friend

As for the loot selection, the eardweller is missing. For any self-respecting BB artist the eardweller is essential. How else should one get 700 damage a hit?

But still a nice build.

[Ghibly]

1) you don't need all that Spell Pen.
2) don't take extended (for what?) and take GSF: evocation...because you want to build an evoker.

And the gear is:

Helm = Epic Helm of Mroranon (+7 Wis)
Trinket = LotD/Eardweller/Bauble
Necklace = Epic Torc (+1exc CON)/Noxious Ember
Goggles = GS 150 SPs – Conc Opp - +5 CHA skills – Blindness & Desease Immunity
Gloves = 45 HP + Heavy Fort
Weapon = Staff of the Petitioner with Superior Potency VI
Ring 1 = ToD exc. WIS +3
Robe = +2 DC Evocation (Regalia of the Phoenix / Epic Robe of Fire)
(*)Ring 2 = ToD Archmagi set +2exc CON
(*)Belt = Archmagi set
(*)Archmagi set for Arcane Lore: Spell Critical Hit Chance +5%, Spell Critical Damage multiplier increased by 0.50.
*Cloak = Epic Envenomed (Toughness)
*Bracers = Epic Scorched (GFL)
*Boots = Epic Boots of Corrosion (Good Luck, +1 exc. CHA)
* Lesser Abishai’s set for +3 evocation lvl spells (damage and spell pen)

[erikbozelie]

hmm correct me if i am wrong but.
doesn't the higher evocation spells of divines don't allow SR?
comet fall is conjuration, blade barrier maybe? whats the point of the additional PL's.
even implosion doesn't allow SR as far as i know. so your using sound burst or something? hold person?

i agree with Jakarr, kinda looks like a standard evoker.

Yeah its been a while since I bother updating it lol, plus I have not been playing often enough.

But the extend was for when Blade Barriers could still be extended
And Spell pen is gravy for anything, just a great base for any future casters I may have (if I start playing again)

[Skeptisaurus]

Would you mind posting a build that takes longer to complete? I don't have anything to do for the next 12 years.

Actually it is nice to see a build like this, for those of us who have TR'd enough to try it - grinding is fun, and for me leveling is more fun that running around perpetually capped. Thanks for posting.

Curious though as to how many spell points and HP you end up with?

[rjedi]

Would like to start updating this a little bit

1) want to get epic level put into this build
2) Want to get TRing information here
3) Want to get my gear updated to current

[Matuse]

Not a lot of point with the expansion coming in a couple of weeks. It has such wide ranging and massive changes to so many aspects of the game that every single build to date needs to be completely re-written.

Fun.... But thanks for the heads up!
