Check my Math on Int

I think I have it but someone double check.

A few comments & nitpicks:

Tome: 7

+8s apparently exist.

Harper 3

You didn't break down how you're spending all your AP, but even with 41 in Archmage, going from getting 3 in Harper with 22 AP up to getting 4 with 24 AP should be doable, right? And then maybe 1 more Int for 12 AP from your choice of PM or EK. Since you're including Racial Completionist, you have plenty of Racial AP to pick up the +2 Int there without impacting your 80 regular AP.

Echoes of the Ancestor Twist: 1
Twist of Fate - Shadowdancer: 1

Depending on your priorities, you could potentially be twisting more.

Sentient: 4

Could be up to +7, depending what else you choose to slot. 4 can make a lot of sense, but it's not the max or the only reasonable option.

Exceptional Bonus: 1

+2 Exceptional exists. You can't slot everything in at once, though: Sentinet in main hand hand is a must, but you can get the same total with either +20 Int Orb or with a +19 Int item and the +2 Exceptional in the offhand.

**Reaper Enh +5

Reaper Sustain 113

You can get +1 Int in Reaper at tiers 1, 2,3, and 5 of the caster tree.

You can get +1 Int all the time (not just in Reaper) from the 3rd core of the caster tree.

So that should be an extra +1 in the top section, and only +4 more in Reaper.

Thanks.

If you absolutely want to maximize your int, you can also do this configuration instead of investing in Harper:

Archmage 41 points (just enough to get the capstone--don't take any Tier 5 abilities, tho)
Pale master 33 points spent, this is JUST enough to get you to Shroud of the Archlich and Improved Shrouding, which in lich form and the 2 you get from the tiers in PM will net you +3 total over Harper

I ended up taking an epic int feat and getting to 110/114(reaper). It's not the max possible, but I am happy with that for now.

Appreciate the input.

made some tweaks, can now sustain 120 int in reaper. Still not cap, but at a point im satisfied with.

Just food for thought...

Missed colorless augment slot for +2 Festive bonus to intelligence.

And as far as gear you get +1 artifact bonus from 5 pc slave lords set (and +4 artifact bonus to spell DCS)

And as someone else already stated you can currently end up with +7 (or +8 with the new upgraded beholder filigree) with filigrees maxed in a sentient jewel.

Technically you can twist +5 and take +3 feats for another +8. But likely giving up more than gaining.

So all this considered your max theoretical cap for intelligence is 136. Realistic cap although would be 128.

It is possible to hit 131 sustainable in Reaper now-a-days with recent equipment.

I am running 120 INT on my wizzy (124 reaper), with my lowest DC at 104, highest at 114 (reaper adds 6 to those DC's). I could get my highest DC (necro) a wee bit higher at the cost of 5 or so illusion DC (112), but I wanted to have illusion DC close to my necro DC and because PK is a double save spell.

Going higher INT actually costs DC's. (IE: I could swap embolden for +1 int, but at the cost of 2 DC's, or get +6 more INT via filigrees, but would cost me +4 DC's from the 2 sets I have on it, each giving +2 DC as a 4 piece set, for a net loss of 1 DC, +1 int in the Harper enhancement tree at the cost of lots of good stuff, etc). Maxing INT at 127 (131 in reaper) would lower my DC's by 2, so I opted to max DC's instead of INT.

can hit 136 INT (140 in Reaper) via Bard+D pot+cookies, but I do not consider these reliable.

As far as I can figure, 140 in reaper is the current MAX possible INT on a wizzy.
