fiend lock gear at 30

[Hobgoblin]

So I have a level 30 dc warlock at 30.

I'm trying to improve him.

the basic build is this

Dragonborn

str 8
dex 6
con 16
int 12
cha 20
wis 8

feats - in no order -

intensify, max, imp, completionist, sf necro, ruin, greater ruin, sp: force, med armor pro, embolden, epic eldritch blast. arcane eldritch blast arcane pulse, quicken

my enchant dc is 85 norm, 88 in reaper
hurl is 76ish
finger is 82

i think my main issue is gear.
my cha is 92

gear -
head - leg pan circlet, greater enchant slotted
neckless - legendary kindred spirit
trinket - epic litany
cloak - mysterious cloak - globe and draconic gem
belt - crafted con 11 ins con 5 false life 41
ring - legendary spinneret - greater necromancy slotted
gloves - leg dashing gloves res 8
ring - lantern
bracers - levicks
armor - light crafted healing of parrying with vitality
eyes - heroic gs goggles - cha skills, sp
my weapons are a level 20 flaming forum post, and the macabre scepter

so my armor bracers and goggles can use work

i also think i should go for the cha gloves from sunrise
im thinking i should for a night mothers and pop my sentient jewel in that

debating on using a shield in my off hand to increase my prr
farming amber for the med armor - once i get that i can use the leg slavers symbol.
if i get a nother con item, i can switch in the belt from sunrise that has fire/acid spellpower

what other gear should i go for?

[mr420247]

If you raid dusk for your light damage n blind procs

Possibly spiral or lgs off hand and skyvault when if you do want shield prr, also devil commanders

The ravenloff cha gogs n boots with the macabre or gloves probably want the con cloak too

Other then that maybe a lgs hp set but i'm not sure which combos won't break bug out

If you do upgrade to the slavers trinket you might want 1 crafted slavers item if you don't have your 3 piece set yet

I went bracers of dex, resistance, quality con, spell craft cuz i keep hopin for a named force club only been like 5 years since last one so we're due

[Hobgoblin]

so it will be a couple of months as im finishing up racial trs

if nothing changes gear wise i am planning on making lgs googles not sure what exactly i will put on them. crit chance seems good, but i am sitting at 45% now. so may not be worth it

slavers 3 piece seems like a no brainer

lantern ring seems to be irreplaceable right now

finally got my armor.

sitting at around 75 prr with no shield.

thoughts?

[mr420247]

Lantern and Resonation are dps but if your doing high skull meh you'll just want max cc n instakills dcs anyways quik swap for boss fights

but you can't craft lgs rings more meh so thats out slavers might b the way to go for that slot

I personally like the ravenloff cha gogs with the boots with the good intentions gloves and quality cha that should get you max or close to it

beacon of magic set looks ok but those gloves are just horrible so idk mist set looks good if you can fit it in

If you do make a lgs hp set both items have to be opposition x 6 or it bugs out more meh

I don't see how moonshine and gasoline would hurt either ....... try it with fried chicken

[Hobgoblin]

I don't see how moonshine and gasoline would hurt either ....... try it with fried chicken

does not compute

[mr420247]

If you are having issues with dcs you can combo debuffs to brute force them

Enervation, crushing despair, mindfog, things like that

also not positive but the stupid epic ward might still be in effect where mob has 100 percent health it gets + 6 to saves

if i rem right

[slarden]

Priority should be nightmother sceptre and legendary spinneret for DC casting. LGS goggles would give you additional crit damage which would work with your pact damage and energy burst. If you can fit 2 pieces you can alternatively go 18% hp boost with 2 material opposition items.

The legendary softsole slippers give +9 ins char + ghostly which is nice. I like the 5 piece slavers because every slot is useful and it's another DC boost.

I don't find lantern ring and resonation to be important any more. I haven't fed them to my sentient weapon yet but I did consider it.

[etotheipi]

The best gearset will almost surely consist of a Nightmother's Sceptre. Assuming you care about high-level Reaper, you want to max all your important DC's out. So it's max-CHA, CONJ, ENCH, and NECRO. After that, worry about DPS.

i pulled the nightmothers - it helped amazingly. I found a spinnert on a bank toon and used that. I farmed out the slippers and i think my enchant dc was 92 and was working very well. was able to solo r7 amber temple

its the leg shroud that gets me. it doesnt seem to be run much when im on. need to farm out the slavers stuff, thats not hard just takes time. have the pieces just need to sit down and see what i need to make. I think i can get away with just 400 of each piece, as i cant fit in a five piece, or can I? hmmm choices

bracers LGS hp set
?bracers of the fallen hero str19 inscon9

Goggles LGS hp set
Or raid goggles 20dex 52mrr

Off hand
LGS hamp?
Orb?

Notes
Ok this is my best setup, with gear I have, except the LGS
Considering I don't have the mats to make goggles and bracers hp set, I would rather opt out of that configuration. But it is possible.
Instead,
Raid goggles
Bracers of ins con
Craft slavers boots wiz371 radiance185
Craft cc trinket inschar7 hamp61 dodge15
Offhand flame orb or skyvault? Or LGS tier2 hamp?

This would leave me 4 short cha from ravenloft. I would be boosting my light and fire powers. But I would pull an artifact4 bonus for the slavers set. I get an artifact2 from beacon set, but mostly using that for the artifact potency.
So I would have max fire and light, and force would be off potency, with no lore. The other thing is, I would have to take blinding speed at 27, and push ruin to 30. Lose greater, but this is a divine wrath build and do necrolock dc. Otherwise no speed.
And best part is all I would have to craft is the trinket and boots. Because I have the slavers con neck and cha ring. Would just have to set all of them.
So this is the cheapest entry into an endgame set for a light dc warlock.

[mr420247]

Looks good but i think you'd get a little more out of dropping the magic set

The dcs won't stack w slavers and then you could use the sunrise gloves instead for your max charisma

Goggles i'll be using my lgs fire crit multipliers those should be cheap to make for you

Off hand if you run babas the dusk seems like a solid option

You could just augment striding for your speed as well

Notes
On this second config, you can go with bracers of fallen hero and crafted trinket. It's really a trade off, but somewhere you're losing your radiance185 unless you craft a trinket. You could swap the mystic wrappings for mrr, would lose the con and str, and lose the radiance if you went with symbol.
If you keep the fallen hero and craft trinket you would have everything. Also str and dex from goggles, and int from trinket that would net 10 Spellcraft.
You would lose the robes and the 70 mrr cap from beacon, for light armor with 100? I was thinking mystic wrapping for mrr gains. No gain for qual potency since that is on spinnerette. But about 30 mrr with 50 from goggles put you near cap. So 70 or 100. But you'd lose the radiance if you went with symbol. Or, I could craft radiance on the ring, and lose the radiance lore. Hard choice for losing dps, but this is primarily a dc caster, dps second. And you'd also lose 40 artifact universal sp, losing the beacon set.
Otherwise with the first set, you lose fortification. You could slot a heavy augment, but I dont know if 100 is good enough for cap play.
The second set is better for prr/mrr, but not by much. And your losing 40 artifact sp. so not too much. And gaining +2 dc due to +4 cha.
So on the second set you'd have str, dex, int, con and cha buffed. I would have to craft a complete new slavers set. And I'm not sure? You can have 2 slavers ring and a trinket crafted??
So the trade off is I could craft the first with what I got, but the second set may be slightly better, but would require months? Of farming slavers. So it wouldn't be complete for a while. And I really wanted to use the raid robes.
The beacon set has about 30 USP plus, with lesser mrr and off 2 DCs. And short 100% fort. So first is offense and second is defense but better dc. Very tough choice. I would go with the first because it's within my grasp, but second is probably better. But not by much.
The trade off again comes with the scion. Go fire for 25% crit, or go shadow for 4 necro, 2 universal. Again blasting dps versus dc. Prob go with the shadow.
Any feedback really appreciated.

And I would not use the axe over the scepter. Scepter is integral.
