    There have been many recent build request for Savants, and a scan of the forums should net you all you need to know as far as these (all very similar) builds are concerned. They are very simple. Spell selection is the real key to a Savant build.

    These are my personal gear goals on my first life Lawful Good Drow Air Savant:

    Dragontouched Shroud: Glacial Assault (Imp. Glaciation VIII), +5 Resistance, Ex. CHA +1, Armor Ritual
    Triple Positive GS Cloak: +150 SP, +6 Ex. CHA Skills, True Res clickie, Cleansed
    Air Savant Set: Ex. CHA +2, Savant CL Bonus, Sup. Spark VIII clickie, Ex. DEX +1
    Gloves of the Glacier: Extend II, Maximize II
    Skiver: Archmagi, Greater Arcane Lore, Empower II, Force Damage Ritual
    Crafted Greater Evocation Focus Trinket of Persuasion
    Verik's Ring: STR +6, Ex. CON +1, Ex. CHA +2
    Mineral II Goggles: +45 HP, +6 Ex. CON Skills, Heavy Fort., Protection +5, Stoneskin clickie
    Superior Potency VI Scepter
    Epic Kundarak Delving Boots: +6 CON, Freedom of Movement, +1 Resistance Ritual
    Epic Scorched Bracers: Toughness, Greater Fire Resist, +8 Armor, Fire Storm clickie
    Epic Helm of Frost: +7 CHA, Greater Cold Resist, Greater False Life, Polar Ray clickie
    Epic Torc of Prince Rayium-de: Greater Spell Pen VIII, Transform Kinetic, WIS +6
    Epic Ring of Spell Storing (luxury item)
    Mysterious Bauble (luxury item)
    Pale Lavender Ioun Stone (more luxury)
    Boots of Anchoring
    +3 CHA Tome

    Other notable items that I considered:

    Eardweller
    Ring of Thelis
    Upgraded Regalia of the Phoenix, Red Dragonscale Robe, or Epic Robe of Fire. Helm of the Red Dragon (Fire Savant)
    Epic Diabolist's Robe (Earth Savant)
    Epic Greenblade
    Epic Winter's Wrath (Cold Savant)
    Epic Ring of Elemental Essence
    Epic Shaman's Set
    Epic Might of the Abishai Set
    Epic Cloak of the Silver Concord
    Litany of the Dead (non-Good)
    Epic Dragon's Eye
    Epic Ring of the Silver Concord
    Epic Cloak of the Zephyr (Air Savant)
    Epic Dusk Heart
    Epic Staff of Arcane Power
    Epic Torc of Prince Rayium-de II

    My decisions were based off my desire to cover all the major bases, while requiring little to no swapping, and having no redundant abilities. I accepted the fact that my Acid and Insta-kill were never going to be strong, and ignored Spell Penetration entirely. I do not want to TR this character, as the Feat selection becomes too tight. I also did not want to force myself into always needing to run epics to improve my gear, and much of the gear I was able to start working on well before I hit 20. If I do not feel up for a massive challenge or consumables investment, I have many laid-back options (Litany, Shroud, VoD, SoS, Crafting). I did not participate in the Crystal Cove, Mabar, or Risia events for various reasons.

    Feel free to comment on my intended setup, but I put a lot of thought into it, and am pretty sure this will be my final loadout until better stuff shows up.
