Am I crazy to do this??

[mwgarn]

Ok so my first wizard was a wf pm with enchant focus to back him up. I really like playing him but I could only get his necro dc to 39 and half the time he didn't seam to get past the spell resistance of the higher level mobs with out having to cast neg lvls on it first in higher end content, amreth and tod, epics... And with the cool downs being made so long with no hope of them ever going back down I decided to tr. My problem now is how many times should I tr to get spell pen and dcs high enough? (dc could be high enough this life if I farm out +4 tome +7 epic and +3 tod but spell pen Would be 27 and I was told the orthons in tod last fight has a dc 32 so the closer I can get the better.)

Here is what I'm thinking sorry if the formatting is strange I'm on my iPad, the idea is to have a necro wiz with enough spell pen and dc to work in epic level content, planing on tr ing as soon as I hit lvl 20 for each life. I take mental toughness because I like wraith form for sneaking through some quest.. Can probably switch it out though and just get sneak gear..

Yup, you're crazy.

The question you should be asking yourself though is if you'll have fun doing it

Thank you, that is what I needed to hear! Will be setting my plan in motion then should be fun!

Just wanted to point out that Enervation/Energy Drain only affects their saves, not their Spell Resistance.

...
Spell pen 29 no items 3xwizard past life
...

up to 3 more from enhancements (probably only afford the first 2)
3 Greater Spell Pen IX (let's just pretend for simplicity)
Total Spell Pen: 35

For epic drow, that would mean you'd fail to penetrate their SR about 50% of the time (level 35 + 10 for Drow SR)

That's a huge improvement compared to the 95% failure without the 3 past lives. However, you might want to consider trading +1 of your DCs for +4 to Spell Penetration by switching from Drow to Elf. Just a thought...

Changed some calculations in red just to help clarify where everything is coming from. Not a big change, though.
