Seriously it's been years and I super want to play the new blightcaster in end game high skull/raid environments. I thought I'd designed a good build but when I see other peoples stats I don't match them. I have almost all Past Lives and most reaper points, quite a bit of raid gear etc. so the disparity is one of skill/knowledge. I have no idea how to create an effective high reaper caster anymore. So, this is a plea to high end players. Would someone explain to me how you get over a thousand spell power, dcs high enough to land in r10, defenses effective enough to not be 1 shot (or are you all just experts at avoiding being hit in the first place?)

I've been a melee player for years now and I'm ready for a change, but I don't want to have my power plummet when doing so.

Thanks.
