U53 First Life Warlock

Sorry I was confused on the spell power but got it now. Thanks.

I don't spend much time on the forum. Best way to get a hold of me is Discord.

* Added the missing enhancement tree a few weeks ago when someone reached out about it.
* Added in the missing Epic Power feats and Exalted Angel: Subtle Flame to the spell power calculations.
* Added notes about arcane spell failure if you plan on wearing the Flamecleansed Fury set starting at level 15.
* Fixed Pact Damage calc (was 2.5 higher than it should have been).

I've created a tentative Isle of Dread version of this based on U55 Lamannia Preview 1.

It contains feat updates for level 31, where to spend 8 more epic destiny AP, along with updated DC and spellpower calculations that reflect those changes. It does not reflect any potential gear changes, since raid loot, augments, filigree and minor artifacts are still unknown. Gear tetris will happen once all loot is known.

Summary of U55 spell power/crit dmg delta just from one destiny feat and 8 additional destiny AP:

Fire: +52 spellpower, 5% spell crit dmg
Light: +47 spellpower, 5% spell crit dmg
Force: +52 spellpower, 15% spell crit dmg
Positive: +47 spellpower, 5% spell crit dmg

Updated the guide to include an end-game starter gear set which does not include Cannith Crafting, Slavers, Feytwisted or raid items.

Re-arranged filigree order and made notes when to slot them based on leveling up your sentient jewel.

As an on and off player for the last 12 years, I really appreciate the breakdown and detailed explanations your guide has. An easy to follow build is exactly what I need and I imagine it helps a lot of the newcomers as well.


If it’s not too much trouble, what would you recommend gear wise for 1-15 or so before Sharn gear and the other heavy hitting stuff?

At level 3, use the Borderlands combustion stick (ML2) and Wind-Swept Buckler from Saltmarsh.
At level 5, use Seasons of the Feywild 7pc and the Queen's Scepter.
At level 8, use the Spinneret and keep it worn until the Epic version at level 28.
At level 10, use the Barovian Scepter.
At level 14, use the Wild Flame.
At level 15, Flamecleansed Fury 3pc, Resplendent Fury and Bronze Dragonscale Belt.

Do you have a new L32 (dread gearset?)

Is the Gem of many Facets just a gloried craftable trinket with an augment slot? It doesn't seem like the set bonuses are being utilized.. I think? Thanks!

Hey Ying, I have thoroughly enjoyed a lot of your Builds. I played your Chainer Build for months. I recently cruised through EK Wiz and am now crashing through Morninglord so I can play this Warlock Build. I was wondering about your gearing.

1. I dont quite understand the Trinket with Impulse. Is it Cannith Crafted?
2. What is your reasoning for the Duskbone Ring until I can run KT enough to get Clouded Dreams?

Thank you for the solid Builds and for affording people like me the fun of building, gearing, and having a goal to reach.

Cheers.

Yes, any "set" bonuses are discarded to get a craftable trinket blank w/ a yellow slot.

What about the Duskbone Ring?

[oseanessy]

Would you make any changes in light of imbue dice? -2 Rogue? Drow/Elf (AA) race? ...Just not sure how significant stacking imbue dice are in-game atm, so thought I'd offer a penny for your thoughts

What about the Duskbone Ring?

? What about it? What does it have to do w a GoMF?

(Or, now that I look at it, what does it have to do with any Warlock, for that matter, much less an end-game one! )
