	I'm going to try the 16 wiz/2 mnk/2 fvs when I LR. Losing level 9 spells is not a big deal to me - the only one I'll miss is PWK. You gain a lot of better stuff to spend AP on than what's in the wiz trees.

Magic Missile and Chain Missile are your bread and butter.� You want at least 9 arcane levels to get the maximum number of missiles (or 7 arcane levels + Arcane Augmentation IX).� Scorching Ray/Chain Lightning are used situationally.� If your arcane has 9th level spells, then Meteor Swarm is a great mana dump.� Hellball works well with Shiradi (4 proc chances per target), but it's a mana hog and has a longish cool down. If you ever played an old skool arcane, Shiradi is sorta like fishing for crit firewalls.

I still play the old skool arcane, Shiradi's randomness and fishing for procs just feels too fucking gimp. At least with this new gear powercreep DC casting is somewhat viable again.

	Ok new annoyance.. xp ransack mechanic. I'm kicking myself for not knocking out more EDs b4 the update. I "farmed" (5ish runs) ID, RB, and 2 runs of Von3 for 1 level and 1.8 ranks in Fatesinger on my way from Draconic to Shiradi... This is going to take forever. I coulda have knocked it out in a 1-2 days doing the ID farming that was going on prior to the update. :/

	A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule. Disavowed wrote on Apr 19^th, 2016 at 1:51pm: Once you meat your personal goal you might want to give that some consideration.

	Not sure how many xp Last Stand in Red Fens is worth once you're over level 25, but IIRC it takes about 8-10 minutes to run. I'd consider adding it to the rotation. Hard ADQ1 is pretty fast xp in a group that can split up and cover three or four halls at once, plus you get about a token and a half per run.

	Instant asshole. Just add alcohol.

Just wondering - LRing my melee who has worked in every primal\martial destiny into the above split, but he hasn't touched arcane\divine. Shiradi is capped though, so does it matter at all really that I haven't trained the other ED's? And what gear are you rolling with? Even if it's just basic epics\eveningstar stuff that's cool. He doesn't have any caster related gear so it would be nice to know

	My gearout is secret until I've acquired the lootgen I want Blue Docent, Int +3 Blue Helm, Guardin's Ring, EE Ring of Shadows, GS 45 HP, GS 150 SP are in there though. Maxing other destinies doesn't matter unless you want a certain ED feat - I use all level 1 twists, which is only 6 fate points. You should at least dip into arcane/divine to get the twistable stuff itself though. I do Unearthly Reactions (Magister T1, +6 reflex/3% dodge), Endless Faith (Exalted Angel T1, +10% SP), Dragonhide (Draconic T1, +6 fortitude/can't fail fortitude on 1). I swap out Dragonhide for Energy Sheathe for Tor/FOT.

	Glad to know it's simple like that. Time to run EE's

	im leaning towards 14wiz/4fvs/2monk at the moment. i am 16/2/2 currently and was 18/2. Besides some weird deep splash builds that i havent considered or looked into i think 14/4/2 is my best bet. what is the logic with the 13/7?

Fleshie 13 FvS/7 Sorc: 13 FvS = Blade Barrier and Heal.� Blade Barrier kiting + Shiradi = crazy amounts of procs. 7 Sorc + Twilight = max number of magic missile and chain missile.� Also provides wings (tier5 electric). 13/7 is basically the way to make previous Evocation focused Favored Souls useful with the +20 LR heart.

The SLAs provide more procs at the lowest possible cost, thereby substantially increasing damage and staying power.

	I have a 18wiz/2rog which can't be LR'd into a monk or paladin split due to alignment changes. He's a first lifer and I don't want to bother with spell pen - just having fun with MM and CM. Even with the change to beguile, I'm seriously considering 17Wiz/2Rog/1 Druid, as this offers a nice measure of croud control which happens alongside the Shiradi Procs. I don't want to bother with other CC measures as I'd like to ignore Spell Pen. Thoughts on this?

	If you're not splashing fvs you're doing it wrong. Not a fan of rogue personally, but I suppose it could maybe let you get enough Search to matter in EE sometimes. Alignment changes are 500TP, cheap.
