Warlock racial PL - thoughts & tips

[goldgolem]

I have now done 8 racial lives as a warlock in a row. This is what I have evolved to for fast, mostly solo low reaper leveling

Pact
GOO for acid. I tried the others, acid is better

Feats
Extend is good early for blur, haste. Swap it out later if you need, I generally keep it
Heighten rocks your web and later tentacles
Forum builds say take Max + Emp as first two feats - but all it works on is tentacles at lvl 10. Better to take those later and have more useful feats earlier - extend and heighten
Force of personality turns out to be a must have

Current feat setup
Lvl 1: Extend
Lvl 3: Force of personality
Lvl 6: Heighten
Lvl 9: Maximise
Lvl 12: Empower
Lvl 15: Completionist
Lvl 18: Wizard PL

Enhancements
Go acid and force. force helps your tentacles damage. keeps gearing simple

At lvl 7 I swap from chain to cone
At lvl 16 I swap from conjuration items to necro items and swap from TS to SE and go all out necro. Could swap earlier but 16 is the sweet spot.

Reaper
I just go all HP and fill in spell stuff as I can

Gear
Boots for acid damage, cannith crafted rings for force damage. This means I can keep heal scrolls equipped and have them hot barred. In my other hand I use a healing stick until lvl 10 where I swap in the Acidic Sphere for +38 insightful corrosion
mask of comedy is a great item until you can cast GH

Stats
Max CHA
I start with 12 INT that gives me 4 lvl ups in what I care about - UMD, Spellcraft, Heal and Concentration. I take more UMD than I need so I can still do scrolls with death penalties.
Rest in CON


Spells
lvl 1 spells - I want resist energy and shield spell. means I give up jump. I use jump pots for a few levels, then I swap out shield for jump
I tried charm, cant really see the need. On low reaper it just slows you down
I gave up Displacement for DD...

Scrolls
lvl 3 invis
lvl 7 teleport, raise dead
lvl 9 GH, heal


Items:
My early game is evoc focused, then I swap to conjuration for web. At around 14 I add in necro, going more necro the later it gets
Otherwise -> HP, Spellcraft, Deathblock, CHA, CON


To try
lvl 15 use earthen mantle - 101 force and +4 evoc
and insight on items
lvl 11 add insightful to force rings
pump spellcraft
