Thinking about revamping my pure WF Wizzy AM to a Shiradi EVO caster with the free LR. Any tips on feats and gear and etc? I've thought about +3ing to 2 rogue split and using Insightful Reflex to help in Tor and shit.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I suck as a caster, but I need something to farm with I guess. Smrti can't do solo EE unfortunately.

Check out sergod's build he posted on the DDO forums. Dunno how good it is, but it's about the only wiz build I've seen posted.

How many extra feats does a Wizard need? I could understand that on a Sorc, but Wizard?

For a general loot farming character, you're probably going to want something that can disable traps. If you're just aiming for Tor, then you shouldn't need to worry about it.
Rogue is nice for the evasion, artificer can also work if you aren't generally using quarterstaffs(can't equip a rune arm with one), and the monk splash would have an extra toughness feat or something along those lines to play with.

If you really think you need traps or locks, you can bring a hire. They can get pretty much everything even on EE. Or bring a dualbox.

Traps/Locks aren't my aim. The goal is high Reflex and Evasion. And UMD kind of. I might go Monk too though, we'll see.

i have 3 cleric lives, 54conj dc. it's not no fail, but with how cheap they are, i put spiderman to shame.
@ CDR I know i could just get a rogue hireling, but I don't personally think the extra hp and sp is worth the hassle.

All of them!
It means you can take extend if you want to bother with it. And maybe dodge. Getting your wizard's dodge into double digits is awesome.

I haven't sat down and put one together. This is purely conjecture. My evasion wizard is soley for the past life feat. 11 more FoT and 9 more CitW and I'm back to FvS.

Potentially a 2 monk split can grab a staff and remain centered. That's a possible +2 to saves or con.
After being really frustrated with being a dc necro in gianthold I finally broke down and tr'd him. Just hit level 24 again and it's been a blast. Even my own guildies are commenting about my inadvertent kill stealing.
It's a shame really imo, because I always liked playing a wiz that gift wrapped mobs and killed a great number of them. Or controlled all the trash during boss fights. Now I just kill everything when not in EE GH.

I used Zergod's post as a basis, but with my own tweaking:
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=411885
For me I went:
Warforged Race
18Int
18Con
Split the rest between Chr/Wis
Feats:
Toughness (Monk Feat)Level 1
Toughness (Monk Feat)Level 10
Maximize Spell
Empower Spell
Extend
Quicken Spell
Enlarge Spell
Spell Focus: Evocation
Greater Spell Focus: Evocation
Mental Toughness
Improved Mental Toughness
Insightful Reflexes
Wizard Past Life
Epic Toughness
Epic Mental Toughness
Active Twists atm:
Energy Burst
Draconic Reflex one
Exalted Angel sp one
Wearing shit gear he's got 3100 something sp. Killing mobs is exponentially cheaper using meta'd sla's. I no longer cringe when people start asking for multiple buffs because I'm not potientially oom two encounters into the quest.
Turbine really screwed the pooch by raising dc's like they have. The Shiradi wizard kills faster, and for less sp than grinding for dc's and watching them fail over and over again.
I'll be tweaking more as I regear (no longer human) and such.

Practically free webs sounds really nice. Not sure if I can pull that off on half though. I haven't done the 3 cleric lives with him as of yet. Going to check it out anyway though as I learned yesterday that the Sorc past life will qualify one for archmage, which in turn will allow me to swap greater evocation for another feat. Taking conjuration may work well if the dc is reasonable.

I'm leveling something very similar to Munkenmo's build (fewer PLs though). My reasons for doing /rog are more due to ease of leveling (he'll need to tr again for wizard PL, so I might as well get the extra XP this life). If I find the conjuration focus ineffective at cap I'll just swap SF: Conjuration into PL: Arcane Prodigy.

It seems really counter intuitive on the surface; but I've found that using the sla's with enlarge to be pretty fun. The range for the missile spells is pretty limited imo. Enlarge allows you to set up shop and bring them back to it. Or perch and kill from further away. But I often use it to pull boss mobs into aoe where I want them.

Doing FoT last night on my Sorc and I could certainly justify Enlarge on my Wizard as a Shiradi AM Evoker...getting double the range on cheap force spells would be great.

Yes, it works for that as well. I'm trying to see if I can manage a feat swap. I'd like to swap greater evo focus for sorc past life. Hopefully that works, and it would be more ideal. I'm told that the sorc past life works for archmage I. So perhaps swapping base evo focus for that and doing the required respeccing of enhancements. I'll try it out sometime today.

Greater Evocation Focus is a requirement for Evocation III enhancement (Chain Missiles SLA).
