12 warlock/6 sorc/2 fvs

Assuming 20 warlock doesn't just supersede shiradi sorc spam (which it might), I think splashing heavily in warlock for crit damage will be the way to go. 

12 levels of warlock/tainted scholar for +20% crit damage. 
A few pointed in enlightened spirit for eldritch aura. 
6 levels of sorc for T5 air (sonic spellpower + wind dance).


Alternatively, 12 warlock/6 wiz/2 fvs for arcane supremacy and free maximize. 

Thoughts?

At the stage where I think Warlock with either be gay retarded overpowered or just completely suck donkey balls and only good for 1st life noobs to learn the content.


I have been thinking about shriadilock - my suspicion is heavy armor dark shiradi builds will still far outclass them, and I have a hard time believing that warlock pewing will be worth loosing higher CL on the different magic missile spells.

Sonic focused warlock with sorcerer - unknown, not very impressed with sorcs right now much less something that kinda copies it.

I wonder if nerve venom could trigger on warlock aura and if it goes off fast enough to be worth it. I am pretty sure nerve venom does not go off on death auras (like 99.9% sure).

Well not sure how it will be, but currently i see nice synergy with light spellpower focused warlock in case that light damage burst actually scaled correctly by spell power.
Shiradi, as usual can say it will be ok in case you can use force type aoe blasts.

To soon to say to be honest, but dc wise mass hold will rock on warlock, now just to figure out a way to abuse that 60% spell crit damage outside of helpless

How about 15 warlock since it has wings alrdy at that level?

Could do 15 warlock 3 wizz 2 fsoul instead as you will pick fey anyways due to it being sonic based pact

Fey will likely have to target reflex saves, which could be a big issue vs mobs with evasion.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?

So it will be like runearm more or less, practically useless in higher tier ee.
Hmm another idea depends on how the aura thing will work.
IF its toggle and the spellpower for it being calculated at moment you turn it on, then 15 warlock 5 wiz might become also very interesting.

You really need the arcane caster levels to max out magic missile and scorching ray.  I don't see how 3 wiz could work, unless you're going to rely on eldritch blast.  If that's the case, it seems like you'd be best off with 20 warlock?

I guess it really just depends how well eldritch blast scales, which is impossible to know at this point.

Was more for crit chance and mm, but depends on what sev said, he said that blasts will be affected by spell alatricity, so in case aoe cone or the homhing like ones end up being cast /thrown/no idea how to say it faster with alatricity then regular spam, i dont see a need for casting at all.
He didnt answer if modifcating blasts to add light damage will proc empyrian, since that way you could entirely skip on scorching.

They seem that they will do more damage overall then mm /chain with scaling and if affected by spellpower n such, pure blast only might be the new shiradi /purely assuming this at this point wel see during this or next week when it hits lama
Again, to soon to say
