[Eth]

You mean the build?

You mean the build?

Yea the DPS of the build, not the damage that playing a warlock causes to ones brain.

[ValariusK]

What are you using Enlarge spell for? Not a criticism, just a question.

[Holymunchkin]

power word stun / TR missiles

I killed a 100k boss in 20s. (Two uses of greater ruin / ruin.) --> so 5k dps burst
Without using any spell points it was 2.4k dps against a high reflex target.

What are the starting stats for this build?

[unbongwah]

What are you using Enlarge spell for?

Enlarge works with most ranged spells and SLAs: in this case, Consume, Stricken, Steal Life Force, Stunning Blast. Would also work with Burning Blood, Command, Confusion, etc. if OP took those SLAs as well.

Ohh, that would be awesome. I know Heal scrolls and Burning Blood both proc it, not sure about cocoon.

no I recently aquired the wand from catacombs

get myself 10 quick stacks while running

it has a 1s internal cooldown so is very nice

Do you normally stay at a distance and use chain or do you normally pick cone for the extra damage?

Also, any chance of seeing this in a video in action?

Cone is definitely better if you can handle it. Last iteration I took both. Swapped frequently. I also took enervating blast for certain bosses.

LE curse the sky --> cone whole way through, since mobs are clumped
EE firepeaks --> chain whole way through, since mobs are dispersed awkwardly

Unfortunately I do not have a video atm. I may have a cabal kill tests, will take a look

Mymain is a tempest atm

Wand of Eternal Papercut Healing FTW

I did an incarnation of 'lock with this setup but in EA.

Really fast paced and fun. You really cannot compare ES>TS/SE with the TS/SE. Both play so much differently it *almost* feels like an entire different class.

Doin' a third wizard life (in Shiradi with Necro/Spell Pen Twists) on my main alt right now and didn't take Empyrean Magic because charging it up seemed like a pita. So, THANK YOU for the eternal wand tip mate . I will get more mileage out of Empyrean than the +3 Necro DC while derpin' around in Shiradi.
