In DDO, it's usually a combination of all 3.

Maximize and empower do not seem to effect aura or blasts anymore. Toggling them on and off I saw no increase in the dmg.

Metas are supposed to work on Warlock SLAs but not their eldritch blasts. I've never seen metas work on those.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I am favor of CHA>INT when investing in TS tree for Confusion and Confusion 10% proc from blast effects.


I think Confusion is very underrated.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Consume/Stricken is better.  9 ticks of 8d10 chaotic damage and 24d6 chaotic damage, both scaling 125% with light spell power.

Wow, I hadn't counted up how much that thing does. Also, isn't wave supposed to be the best DPS burst? My warlock is sat in ES at the moment as I was using him to farm revels, but when I get round to doing something proper with him, I might respec Tongue

It adds some significant single target DPS, which is the warlock's weakness.

Yes, eldritch wave is REALLY good.  Just compare it to energy burst:

Eburst = (15 * 28 + 8 * 28) * (600 + 100)/100 = 4508 damage

Eldritch wave = (3.5 * 19 + 11 * 2.5) * 3 * ((600 + 150 + 75) * 1.5 + 100)/100 = 3771.75

It does almost as much damage as EB, has no save and is on a 8 second cooldown.  Also, I think it multi-procs shiradi if you're into that (but not confirmed).

You realize the difference in those two sets of numbers is "almost" 1000 points of damage less; right?

It's about 85% of the damage and has has a fraction of the cooldown and has no save (so probably does more damage in practice).  I'm just saying it's a really good skill, not that it's does more damage than everything.

Then maximise and empower are worthless feats on a pure Warlock GOO build IMO, which is why I dropped them.

Wait, do Warlocks that use Sonic/Light/Evil damage even need points in Spellcraft?

Because Spellcraft doesn't affect those...

Spellcraft applies to light and alignment damage.

You can't go wrong with that build.  (I'd put some points in concentration, too, btw.  And UMD.  You will have plenty of skill points and anyone can get a reliable UMD these days, even cross class.)

I should ETR 3 times in the arcane sphere for Arcane Energies right? Have 9% extra crit chance?

Also once I do all that and I regular TR two more times and am on my final life... What should I take for my epic destinies? Like what twists etc.?

If youre going to grind out past lives, go for 3x morninglord for +30 light spellpower.  That and the 9% elemental crit from the arcane sphere are the low hanging fruit. 

One point in UMD is enough.  I dumped CHA and still easily hit raise and heal scrolls at cap.

Destiny is probably exalted angel or shiradi.  EA is the best if you don't dump DCs, but still quite good even if you do.  If you plan to run in aura, EA has a bunch of SLAs to help fill the gaps between your spell rotations.  Shiradi does offer quite a bit of raw power though.

I like running my con-based warlock in divine crusader. Very hard to kill with Consecration and Brilliance running. All healing is AOE, so if you run with some melee minions, they can benefit as well.

Consecrate, Burst, Blast, grab a drink, raise the kiting idiot, move to next group of mobs.

Maximise and Empower affect Shiradi procs off basic Eldritch Blast, Chain Blast, Aura and Cone even if they don't affect the blast itself. 

I would only drop Max/Emp if I was gonna just melee and fuck all casting and SLAs.

Energy Criticals does not apply to light or force damage. You're probably better off adding 27 spellpower to your blast via the Enchant Weapons EPL.
