Voodu Warlock: A Pure Warlock Enlightened Spirit Tank Project companion thread

[bighertz]

i have been trying out this build (currently lvl 12 human yay blast) and i wanted more single target dps for red names/champs
without losing survivability was thinking of grabing consume + greater hunger + inhuman nature at the cost of either one rankof
resilience of soul or one rank of light II. would like to know if im missing something or if there is a better way to kill reds faster?

below is my planed enhancements

Hey Big, yvw and ty for saying.

My investment in the Tainted Scholar tree beyond getting Utterdark Blast is largely about getting Deathward as a spell, which I personally love, but it's just a personal preference and I understand that others are happy to use potions and clickies to get Deathward. Not going all the way to t4 innate for Deathward will allow additional investment elsewhere. It's been a while but I had found that stricken and consume weren't powerful enough to make worthwhile without additional investment in the Soul Eater tree, which looks like you've made some. I'd like to hear what you think of it, and I probably need to revisit this myself and lose the Drow enhancements

As far as single target dps being low, this is generally a criticism of Enlightened Spirit. I think a more traditional (non-tanky) ES caster will go with epic feats like Ruin and Greater Ruin and Arcane Pulse with a greater sp pool to support those and possibly multiclass with Favored Soul to get Scourge/Just Reward. The slow boss dps doesn't bother me personally though. If I'm soloing I just switch to focus blast and turn on auto attack and kick back lol. If I'm not soloing then it's my job to hold aggro while e1 else kills the boss and my dps is just supplemental at that point.

[Dulcimerist]

At level 17, I found myself unintentionally testing the pure tanking ability of this build in Spinner of Shadows, and absolutely loved it!

Running the whole chain, I would be about #3 on the kills list of the 6-person party. Ranged characters were often dropping enemies before I could get close enough to damage with my aura and bursts, but I still made a good contribution to the party during the chain while not requiring as much attention or resources from the healer.

During phase 3 of the Spinner quest, I found myself taking aggro from Spinner of Shadows. Shining Through feels like a "manual" version of I Like Pain, the barbarian Ravager enhancement which gives "automatic" temporary HP. I kept that and Displacement renewed whenever she didn't have me stuck in a web. Even when I was immobilized in a web, my aura would keep poking her to keep aggro. The healer was great at keeping my HP topped off while I was stuck. Spinner stayed pinned in the center really well! Right at the end of phase 3 and phase 5 I died and had to be rezzed, but this build was able to do the job it was designed for really well! Thanks for posting this build!

My warlock is just a first lifer, so I'm interested to see how it is after a few TRs. If anyone's interested, I'm currently wearing Pansophic Circlet with Heavy Fortification, +90 Radiance +3 DC Evocation necklace, Tier 3 Greater Stalwart Trinket with +1 alchemical saves, Nightsinger's Mantle (ML15) with Deathblock and +4 STR, +65 Resonance +5% Spell Lore gloves, +8 CON belt, Tier 2 Ring of the Buccaneer (ML16), +6 CHA +14 Sheltering ring, Spiked Boots (ML14) with Feather Falling, Speed VI bracers, +6 Deadly goggles, Tier 2 Cavalry Plate (ML16), Fanion with +4 Natural Armor, and a Banhammer. It's not perfect or optimal, but it's probably good for a first lifer. I just hit level 18 and have Celestial Spirit, so now I need new boots.

[Dalryo]

Feels good. Reminds me of some old wf caster playstyles.

Can solo some R5 ravenloft with ravenloft gear and a radiance lore 27 slavers ring.

Maybe some of this will be useful for people on the same path. What I saw before was useful for me.

Hey Voodu, noticed that you get shield proficiency only on level 12...

1 - 12 you use no shield at all or you use with masters touch?

Looking foward to TRin my warlock onto your build!

Appreciate your atention! Thanks.

Appreciate your atention! Thanks.

In heroic levels, shield proficiency only affects armor check penalty, so not a priority for me. In epics, the 3 shield feats are requisites for Legendary Shield Mastery in Sentinel, so I want to have those by 20.

Hey e1! This is the companion thread to my video series: Voodu Warlock: A Pure Warlock Enlightened Spirit Tank Project

In this series, I took what I learned from the Gingerlocks series and applied it to my permanent warlock. In Episode 1, I introduce Voodu, a long time drow sorc, now reincarnated as a warlock. I discuss my plans for the toon and my goals. In each solo video I go over the progress I've made, my gear, enhancement and feat choices and I also discuss what is learned along the way and offer tips and advice. This series was not intended to be a guide, however I made it as informative as possible so it will be helpful for those who are learning warlock.

I called this a "project" because I was still learning warlock and I was trying things along the way that were new for me. In Gingerlocks, I took each of the 3 warlock lives only to level 20, so the Voodu Warlock series includes my first experiences of warlock in epic levels!

My goals with this toon are:
1. To provide good casting dps
2. To self-sufficiently tank all raid bosses, with the specific goal of being able to stay toe-to-toe with the dragons in EE Fire on Thunder Peak, even through artifact rage and overdraw.

The constraints of the project are: Pure warlock and Drow race (both of these choices are more or less for flavor, but Enlightened Spirit capstone is very valuable and should be considered before making a choice to multiclass)

The video series is complete but I am continuing to work on Voodu's past lives and evolving the build. All episodes are below and I will monitor and update this thread as I make changes. Note that stats, feats and enhancements change throughout the series, as I experiment with a variety of things along the way, but my current setup is below:

CLASS: pure warlock (the capstone is very nice!)
PACT: Fey (any pact choice is fine, more notes below)
RACE: Drow (this was a flavor choice only and just about any race is fine)
ALIGNMENT: Any

ABILITY SCORES

Starting: Str 8 ~ Dex 11 ~ Con 16 ~ Int 15 ~ Wis 8 ~ Cha 18. Increase constitution when leveling.

This is a constitution build, not a charisma build. As an Enlightened Spirit, constitution is extra valuable, not only because the added hit points increase surviveability, which compliments the close-quarters playstyle of a bursting warlock, but because high constitution improves the effectiveness of Shining Through and Brilliance, both of which are highly prized Enlightened Spirit enhancements. It also benefits from Stanch in the Tainted Scholar tree, which this build also makes use of. Charisma shouldn't be forgotten, but is not as important on an Enlightened Spirit burster, especially this build, compared to other types of warlocks which are more DC-based. This build, as many ES builds, is not a spell DC-dependent build. Most of an an Enlightened Spirit's burst damage is not save-based. The only portion of the burst damage that is DC-based is the pact damage, which is not the primary damage and is save for half.


SKILLS

Max Intimidate, Spellcraft, Balance, Concentration. 1 rank in Tumble and UMD. Remaining points in Perform (if Fey Pact) and Heal.
For reaper 1-20: Max UMD for heroics in order to use healing wands and scrolls as soon and as effective as possible, which are very important in reaper questing. UMD will be plenty high enough once you reach epic levels, so when epic reincarnating you can change out the UMD skill points to perform or other more relevant skills for epic levels.

FEATS

Level 1: Maximize Spell
Level 3: Empower Spell
Level 6: Force of Personality
Level 9: Quicken Spell
Level 12: Shield proficiency (general)
Level 15: Shield Mastery
Level 18: Improved Shield Mastery
Level 21: Epic Eldritch Blast
Level 24: Intensify Spell
Level 26: (Epic Destiny Feat): Epic Arcane Eldritch Blast*
Level 27: Epic Damage Reduction
Level 28: (Epic Destiny Feat): Elusive Target
Level 29: (Epic Destiny Feat): Deific Warding*
Level 30: Great Constitution
Level 30: Scion of Celestia

I recently changed my level 28 and 30 feats from Toughness and Epic Toughness to Elusive Target and Great Constitution.
*Epic destiny feat Epic Arcane Eldritch Blast requires 1 capped destiny in the arcane sphere. Deific Warding requires 3 capped destinies in the divine sphere. Capped means a fully maxed xp bar, not just level 5.



Unless otherwise noted, the following numbers are unbuffed, no metas, boosts, pots, etc. at level 30 (outside of reaper).

HP: 3520 (unbuffed permanent HP in Vigor of Battle stance. This is outside of reaper, but includes innate tier 2-4 Grim Barricade, which are always on)
Max Temp HP: 6513 (fully buffed with Shining Through, Stanch, Tenser's, Primal Scream, Yugo pot, remnant pot)
SP: 1710
AC: 201
PRR: 245
MRR: 159
Intimidate: 116 (with Greater Heroism and Spider Cult Mask)
Light spell power: 534
Heal amp.: 215
Fortification: 200%


ENHANCEMENTS


I have recently started using the perma-shield enhancement for tanking the brides in the Strahd raid, otherwise I would have tier 3 Power of Enlightenment maxed.

For Reaper 1-20 I highly recommend Wand and Scroll Mastery enhancement in Tainted Scholar, which is very nice to boost healing from wands and scrolls on self and others, which helps to mitigate some of the self-healing penalties in reaper mode.


HEROIC PAST LIVES

Sorc past lives are nice for bonuses to evocation DC (blast and burst saves are affected by evocation bonuses for the pact damage only). Cleric Past lives are nice for bonuses to conjuration DC (Evard's Black Tentacles and Web are Conjuration). Wizard and Favored Soul past lives are nice for up to a +9 bonus to spell penetration (Evard's has a spell pen. check). My current heroic past lives are 3 sorc, 3 wiz, 3 fvs, 3 wlk, 3 pal, 3 cleric, 3 barbarian and 2 bard.


EPIC PAST LIVES

4 stances: Colors of the Queen, Energy Criticals, Brace and Skill Mastery. Focus on getting 3 each of these EPL's first, which will grant Epic Completionist and open your 4th twist of fate! After you get these, focus on additional Divine, Primal and Martial EPL's for bonuses to PRR, HPs and AC. My current epic past lives are 8 divine, 9 martial, 6 primal and 6 arcane.


ICONIC PAST LIVES

Stance: Morninglord. Morninglord past life stance gives +10 light and alignment spell power per stack up to +30. PDK past lives give PRR, so great for adding to defensiveness for any toon. Shardar-Kai past lives give added dodge, however I do not plan on getting these past lives because I am dodge capped. My current iconic past lives are 3 Deep Gnome, 3 Morninglord and 3 PDK.


RACIAL PAST LIVES
At this time I do not have racial past lives. I am currently working on Gingerspyce's racial lives. Once that project is complete, my plan is to start working on Voodu's past lives again, probably starting in June. I will at least do 3 each of Warforged, Dwarf, Dragonborn and Half-elf for +2 to constitution and charisma and for +4 racial action points, which I will likely use to get t2 perma-shield and t5 Displacement SLA from Enlightened Spirit to open up a 3rd level spell slot and pick up Dark Discorporation instead.


EPIC DESTINY



Unyielding Sentinel. The high defenses of this epic destiny work well with the close-quarters bursting playstyle of an Enlightened Spirit. There are higher dps destinies for an Enlightened Spirit warlock, such as Exalted Angel, Divine Crusader and Shiradi Champion. I prefer the added surviveability of Sentinel over the added dps of the others.

After amassing a large number of the defensive epic past lives, I found the added defenses of Sentinel were not necessary for regular questing, even legendary elites. While I was preferring Divine Crusader for regular questing, reaper mode has taken me back to Sentinel full time. I highly recommend Sentinel for regular questing for newer players using my build and for those without a bunch of past lives, especially if doing epic and legendary elites and epic reaper questing.


TWISTS OF FATE

1. Divine Crusader Empyrian Magic
2. Divine Crusader Sacred Ground
3. Divine Crusader Consecration
4. Primal Avatar Rejuvenation Cocoon
5. Fury of the Wild Primal Scream

I recently made some changes due to reaper mode, to include Consecration and Sacred Ground, which not only add AOE dps, but more importantly add to self healing and party healing, which is critical in reaper questing. Empyrian Magic is a must twist for any Enlightened Spirit. The aura and bursts make it run at an always on +20 spell power and +10% crit chance. Rejuvenation Cocoon is great to add to the self healing ability. Others to consider, especially while working through epic destinies for the first time include Fey Form, Serenity, Interrogation, Rough Hide, Ephemeral Evolution, Radiant Power and Unearthly Reactions. Primal Scream is nice not only for the con boost, but the sonic damage is boosted by spell power so it does about 5k sonic damage to surrounding mobs.


PACT

This build is workable with any pact. I Chose Fey pact originally because I really like abundant step-like abilities, so Misty Escape was perfect for me. With my tanky playstyle, Misty Escape allows me to move through and directly into the middle of a group of mobs and start bursting from within. Misty Escape is also a nice way to escape when you're trapped, as it allows you to move through mobs. I also really like that Fey pact has Otto's Irresistible Dance, which is great to use on champions and reapers. Fey pact also includes Dark Delirium, which is a nice no-save stun to use on a mob that you don't want to deal with for a bit.

SHIELDS AND ARCANE SPELL FAILURE

I'm adding a special section for shields because one of the most frequent questions I get is about which shields to use and how to overcome arcane spell failure while using a shield on a warlock. At low levels, I personally like to use a small mithral shield blank to craft on. Mithral shields are no longer on the main loot tables, but can still drop as end rewards from some older quests and chains like waterworks, Red Fens, Sharn Syndicate and I believe some others. A small mithral shield will have no ASF. You can also use a large mithral shield, which will have 5% ASF that can be overcome crafting a Lesser Arcane Spell Dexterity item using Cannith Crafting. Lesser Arcane Spell Dexterity affects ASF from any source, regardless of the item that its crafted onto.

By the time you reach mid to upper heroic levels, you can use shields like Fanion and Skyvault Shield, which have zero ASF. You can also use a Sapphire of Spell Agility augment at levels 12/16/20 to overcome 5%/10%/15% ASF. A typical large shield has 15% ASF so by the time you reach level 20 you can use a Sapphire of Spell Agility +15 to overcome the ASF of any large shield, as I do with an Epic Shield of Tireless Aid at level 28. You can purchase a Sapphire of Spell Agility +15 from Lahar, the epic vendor in The Twelve for 20 Tokens of the Twelve. Epic Skyvault Shield is also a nice choice for mid epic levels. Some people like to use Skyvault at endgame, however be aware that it has a max dex/dodge bonus of 4. For more about arcane spell failure, see the DDO wiki article here.


SPELLS





REAPER

I have worked through a few reaper lives so far. Typically 3-4 skulls if soloing or, 5 skulls if with 1 or more other people and 6-7 skulls in full groups. Charm Person is really helpful in early levels, so can swap out the Shield spell and take the Shield Enhancement instead and swap back once you get out of single digit levels or whenever Charm Person becomes ineffective. I also found the Fey Pact spell Blindness to be very useful in low levels. Wand and Scroll Mastery from Tainted Scholar is nice to boost healing from wands and scrolls for self and others during heroic reaper questing and can swap out in epics.

Temporary hit points from effects like Shining Through, Brilliance and Stanch are not affected by the self healing debuff and are therefor huge in reaper questing. Things turn a corner once you get Brilliance, which should be top priority once you get to level 6. Things turn another major corner again at level 12 once you get Spirit Blast and Shining Through.

I have been investing my reaper points in the Grim Barricade tree for added survivability in reaper quests, with emphasis on PRR and con, with a couple points in dodge to max out my cap. I also spent points in UMD for heroics in order to use healing wands and scrolls, which are very important in reaper questing. UMD will be plenty high enough once you reach epic levels, so when epic reincarnating you can change out the UMD skill points to perform or other more relevant skills for epic levels.

I really like the Legendary Green Steel Radiance weapon in reaper mode for the blinding effect and healing amplification, both are very valuable in reaper. I can feel a serious difference in self healing when I'm accidentally using a different weapon in reapers. Rejuvenation Cocoon, Renewal and Sacred Ground keep me self healed quite well with 205 heal amp.

At present I am at 30 reaper points all spent in the Grim Barricade tree and my self-sufficient tanking ability holds up well up to about 5-6 skulls, depending on the content. Beyond that I need healing support for sustained tanking. This is with a wealth of past lives and so without the past lives, tanking ability would be reduced. In reaper mode my standing hp is 4153 and max temp hp is 7321. I recently did a solo R8 Amber Temple video where I discuss my new 5-piece Legendary Green Steel Ender set and show how I've spent my reaper points.


WHAT TO DO BETWEEN BURSTS

People who are newer to warlock often ask what to do between bursts while they are on cooldown. Here's what I am typically doing on Voodu between bursts...

1. Heal myself and others with Rejuvenation Cocoon and Renewal.
2. Consecration (with Sacred Ground)
3. Evard's Black Tentacles
4. Otto's Irresistible Dance a reaper, champion, caster or orange named
5. Darkfire
6. Swing my weapon
7. Intimidate
8. Primal Scream
9. Refresh Displacement or Tensor's Transformation
10. Sleet Storm
11. Shining Through
12. Tainted Spellcasting
13. Dark Delirium
14. Wail of the Banshee
15. Drink a Potion of Greater Brilliance
16. Symbol of Death
17. Stanch as an emergency heal
18. Waves of Exhaustion
19. sip my coffee

What stats woud I use for a 32 point build?

[HungarianRhapsody]

What stats woud I use for a 32 point build?

For this build, max CON, as much as you can into CHA without completely running out of skill points, remainder into INT and whatever else you want to make your life easier.
CON or abilities, CHA for DC and INT for skill points.

[LargoKeyWest]

My build choice makes people crazy... but I am a HUGE fan of the fact that the Tomes are giving more @ start. Just finished doing all my Racial Past Lives, and the boost to Stats takes most of the pain from my build. I go Drow, and blow my wad on maxing CHA and INT. All Level ups into CON, and currently have +7 to stats for Tome. If I can get a hold of a +8 will do that too.

I utterly HATE not having enough skill points to train in the skills I want. Thankfully the game has evolved a bit so it's no longer detrimental to my choices.

I guess I should focus on farming Slaver stuff now.. tried to join a Baba yesterday, but @ 23 person in charge was worried I would just get turned into a greasy stain. Will keep working it and hopefully be able to grab Raids and quests as they drop. Doing Racials killed a significant amount of time, only further aggravating the fact that I did the same thing and it took twice as long when I went triple Completionist for Professions.

Love this build... and even permutations should work nicely.

I just wish Cruxader had told me his build layout before he quit .. would have loved to made a hybrid of the 2.

Should be fine on a second lifer, though I wouldn't try to take it into high skull content. You should be ok in low skull questing

I've gotten my ES tank warlock to level 30, and am close to doing the first Epic Reincarnation. My gear is pretty lame, but I now have a level 380 crafter. What would be some good ML20 or ML21 general gear to craft for this character while I go on the EPL train to Epic Completionist? I don't have access to much of the good named gear yet.

As far as craftable gear goes, nothing special just max light and sonic spell power and lore, along with as much defense as you can fit in like prr, mrr, parrying, dodge, natural armor, protection, etc. You can also craft a conjuration item to help tentacles hit better. Of course you also want to craft max con and charisma items.

Hi, voodu! Your videos are awesome to watch!

I am playing a lot this tanky build and im enjoying. using it to farm my divine past lives to get more prr.

ATM im using skyvault shield for more prr while i dont get the enough from EPL feats. And im mostly using adherent of mists set, but i was looking at wlk and wanted to think at multi on next lives to 4 pally /1 wiz for sacred defender + EK mage armor. what do you think?

Hi Mpareto, I'm glad you like the videos, ty for saying!
I've never tried multiclassing like that but I know it can be highly defensive. Take a look at the Kamdragon build that was just posted.

[Rydlic]

Just wanted to say that I have enjoyed you videos, I took a rather long break from the game (Wheloon to about Ravenloft I was just in once every 2-5 months to check in). Many of your videos on game basics and Reaper have been great. This build has been great for revamping my TR character. Working on Racial and Epic TRS and this has made running up levels a breeze (Warforged lifes have been.. annoying but doable).


Thank you again.

Hey Rydlic, I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos and the build, thank you for saying. I'm working on my wf lives so will be trying the build on a wf next life. I'm not a fan of wf so good to know it's doable

[Dulcimerist]

I just wanted to thank you again for posting this build. This build is what got me really active in DDO for the first time since 2011, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Voodu Warlock brought me back!

Be aware, you do not have a Medium armor option and no body feat just does not cut it as you just do not get enough PRR. I have taken Mithril Body at lvl 1 and moved Force of Personality to replace Greater Constitution. You are basically capped though at 7 Dodge without some major investment in the Racial tree or some other way to get more dex.
