Haven't seen too many multiclass warlocks, but to be honest I don't go looking on the ddo forums; i was playing with the character creator and thought maybe a warlock/favored soul/splash something else might have a good synergy; that with the enhancements of harper agent and enlighted spirit. Not a lot of offensive spells to speak of but looks like a good buffing machine.
Anyone's thoughts?

I toyed with some cleric levels and the sun elf in the planner. Couldn't bring myself to pass up on the capstone enhancements for the warlock enhancement trees.

Teth was ran a couple eGH EE's in a pug group I was in the other day, he was in 12Warlock/7Wiz/1 something I can't remember, maybe fighter.
He was tearing it up as usual, in Shiradi

Teth is ADDICTED to Shiradi.

Yeah - I was looking at 12 warlock minimum, maybe swing 6 paladin (if your allowed to). I like the enlightened spirit tree getting you no fail spell on medium armour, added PRR & MRR and AC. Ill keep tinkering, but I havent seen anything out there yet
edit" Teth probably did have 1 fighter - i found playing around that i was super tight on feats

Dear players,
The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.
Love,
People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

I tried a few splashes when doing past lives, but didn't find much that really excited me, unless it was a shiradi build like described. Mixing in some Pally or fighter to make it more tank-ish and using the aura to proc while either turtled up or swinging some sticks is kinda fun, but the lost levels lower the DPS of the aura quite a bit. Both in terms of damage and proc rate of the aura. It can be fun in a lot of varieties. I kinda preferred the pure warlock, though.

Not really. You aren't worried about DC's for the most part, so you only need a few metamagics.

I don’t have time to look into this, but a Tree build might be workable. Aura procs spirit if it does damage. Eldrich cleaves work in tree form. Tree form doesn’t work with Celestial Spirit; so a melee splash could be justified.

Probably went 1 Fighter for the Martial Weapon and Any Armor proficiencies. The extra feat is just gravy.

Why? Seems like warlocks will want to go medium armor, and how does weapon prof benefit a caster?

In looking at multiclass I was tinkering and it looks like you could possibly two hand while cleave and greater cleave, have decent buffs and still maintain eldrich blasts and some AOE's.
Just trying to expand the use of a character/class is all

You're right about Medium Armor, I forgot Enlightened Spirit gave that but as for weapon proficiency, I seem to recall Teth used greatswords in the past. Perhaps I am mistaken though.

Enlightened Spirit covers the Medium Armor (Tier 4 ES) and Martial Weapons Proficiencies (ES core 4). And, more importantly, removes the ASF from Medium Armors. Eldrich Burst and Spirit Blast share timers with Cleave/Great Cleave; so you may want to skip those feats.

yes almost positive it was 1 fighter as a istated, and it would obviously be for armor profs. he was using an orb offhand. and was in zombie form which was so hilarious to watch him drunkenly swaying everywherre

Shiradi is the perfect toolbox for multiclass builds, allows for some ok dps on lots of different survivalist builds.
I have been splashing 5-6 Warlock for aura, EB, SB and shining through

I did a 20 drow 'lock and shiradi and it was fun initially. Then I swapped to EA with Consecrate/Sacred Ground and something I can't recall twisted...maybe Unearthly reactions idk and it was like BOOM
Then I rolled up a fey 2pal/18lock BF...Running in DC with Fire EB, Stay frosty and Unearthly Twisted.
<3 seeing 11k ticks of Castigation and Empyrean working off aura and cleaves is suhweet.
And I have a super-uber epic elyd edge for tickling

pretty sure 1 barb nets you medium armor and greatsword proficiency.
So you want to know about an exploit?

In those cases then, I'm not sure why Teth took 1 level of Fighter which I'm pretty sure he did.
I'll ask him tonight if I see him and report back.

I just wanted this thread to say it one more time.
So:
Teth

teth makes some of the more interesting and strange shiradi builds, so it's always fun to guess at what he's up to, if you enjoy making builds.
I imagine he was wearing heavy armor since he skipped evasion, tho I think recall seeing Blue Dragon Armor set bonus, so I dont think it was heavy TF armor, tho we were just facesmashing GH EE's, so he was probably gearing for speedy kills not survivability. With 12 Warlock levels I imagine it's useful to be able to take some hits so you can aura blast / centered AoE everything to death
