    Default Beautiful on the Inside

    Beautiful on the Inside, an inquiry into Archtype legendary midskull reaper and raid leveling

    I'm only setting this up at 20. I'm assuming you can level 15-19 in R1 on your own. I based this on the repeater ES warlock builds of long ago, but updated to not be in melee. I've been testing the component parts, of a caster without good offensive spells (bard spellsinger and dark apostate) using acid SLA strike, and I like that, but the rest of the time needed something to do and it didn't have quite enough oomph on its own, so I'm filling it with pew pew for a solid rotation. Inquisitor on its own also lacks enough oomph, so adding in SLA casting for AoE. Picked inquisitor over VKF thrower or archer for diplomacy skill synergy because everything just fit together (imbues from EDs and inquisitor, spell power for scaling opening up filigree for imbue die, divine might and diplo synergy, etc.).

    This is designed to skip as much of heroics and all epic dungeons to go into legendary reaper where the Saga/XP/SXP/RXP rewards are. To that end it always maintains strong healing, as well as strong synergy, as well as strong no-save damage (AoE + IPS), as well as strong defenses with defensive stance and % hp, and strong HAmp to deal with reaper self-healing penalty. To maximize benefit you will additionally have to throw out 30-40 raid items so that you no longer need to do House K for bank space favor.

    Non-ubers can use the potency goggles from Sharn with insightful/quality potency boots, or even just a pansophic circlet to make a regular version of this build. Above is for midskull legendary reaper at 20.
