Depends on your focus, honestly.

For focusing on Eld Blast (into light nuker in EA in epics):

Acid spellpower/lore
Kinetic spellpower/lore -> Radiance spellpower/lore once you pick up Utterdark Blast
Cha/Ins Cha/All the Cha you can get
Evocation Focus
Rest is just basic stuff like hp's, sp's, etc
Also any other spell focus you might want (conj for webs/evards, necro for FoD/Wail)

For an aura lock, similar setup but also make sure you have lots of Con for the temp hp's. Would still recommend Utterdark so the light damage on blast is the same spellpower as your base damage.

Necro/Conj warlocks are just like wizards, but cha instead of int. Spellpower/Lore for your EB if you can fit it for extra damage. Doesn't have to be utterdark in this case, but EA is still a nice DC caster tree and has light spellpower, so definitely still a possibility depending on how you want to go.

Copied from another thread:

Lowbie ends up being pretty easy post level 4, as long as you have:
-Acid spell power item
-Force spell power item

Really everything else takes a back seat. After level 4 in tainted scholar on reaper 1, everything just drops in a couple blasts.

Mid levels you'll want to shoot for:
-Acid spell power
-Light spell power (utterdark blast, consume, stricken)
-Force spell power (faltering blast, tenticles)
-Acid/Light/Force Crit
-100% fort
-CHA Item
-CON Item
-Conjuration item

Have those basics down and it's pretty smooth sailing throughout the leveling process as long as you are abusing web, tenticles, and your near infinite spell point pool in reaper.

If you're worried about slotting - turn on Faltering Blast and then just use Acid and Force spell power/crit, swap out for light spell power/crit and utterdark blast for boss fights.

You can generally get all this naturally through loot gen. I've been impressed - my current life, I've used my TR cache very little because the loot gen drops usually gives me the stats I need over time.

For leveling at level 10+ I keep 3 sets of crafted goggles necro/ins necro/ins spell pen + conj/ins conj/ins spell pen + evo/ins evo/ins spell pen. I tend to use conjuration as my go to school because tentacles is that good, but at higher heroic and epic levels I use necro most of the time.

Force (eld blast) + acid spellpower and lore. Light for the SE Slas. You can't dump any of these 3 since force is needed for tenacles and light for the SE SLAs.

… farm for heroic levels?

Level 2 - Runic Trinket: aka the only insightful spell power item you’ll see from levels 2-9.
Level 3 - Rock Boots (level 3): Super cheap Acid spell power / lore item, and it comes with a guard effect.
Level 3 - Bracers of Wind (level 3): perma blur is always good, until you get displacement.
Level 5 - +4 CC stat gear.
Level 7 - Rock Boots (level 7): Fully upgraded, it's the best Acid spell power / lore item at that level.
Level 7 - Elder's Cap / Elder's Focus: The Elder's Knowledge set bonus is pretty good, plus you get +10 to spellcraft and concentration.
Level 10 - I am a big fan of the Beacon of Magic set. Or, at the very least, the Burnscar sash.
Level 10 - Other Ravenloft stuff: There's so much that I don't have yet. So go look at it.
Level 11 - Rock Boots (level 11): Hey, did you know a GOO warlock running around with cone shape is pretty much the best Cannith Challenge runner build?
Level 13 - Pansophic Circlet: So much insightful spell power in a single item!
Level 15 - Rock Boots (Level 15): Really, they are amazing at running Cannith Challenges.
Level 15 - Shimmer
