Hey Faggots,
My name is Gorlax, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-life humans who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass creepypasta. You are everything bad in the galaxy. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any green pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of "aliens" because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to faked pictures of UFOs.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was genetically engineered by a super intelligent being from the fifth dimension, and I was the alien god-king of 7 civilizations. What have you ruled, other than your stupid pets? I also shit gold, and have several banging hot earthling girlfriends (They just took turns blowing me; Shit was SO pan-dimensional). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

I think you will want to wait Doc, they are going to be changing a lot about the new feats now that they had some Lamma testing.

If proposed changes go through, I think it's either 20 sorc (fire or air savant) or 18/2 FvS (fire savant) for something a bit more relaxed/noob friendly with just rewards. 

20 sorc is probably a safe bet.  They aren't going to make it gimpier than it already is.

I saw some really impressive Sorcs on Lamma yesterday, mid epic still a bit Meh, but end game is extraordinary.

Some number crunching is definitely in order.
Extra caster level and a bit higher dc (pure sorc) vs extra crit chance, crit damage and access to other goodies (wizard, fvs splash).

These are interesting times for casters, think I'm gonna log on to lama and do some testing.

If the feats will be the same on life as they were on Lamaland a primary Air tree  (Scion of the Plane of Air) and with a secondary Water tree should be a save bet. Take both Master of Air and Master of Water and you will have 5 SLA and one DOT at full caster level.

Or a sorc with master of air and music, for max aoe of shout and greater shout, which synergizes with air tree.

Finally, water is coming into its own.  Cold Ray with no max caster lvl will beat the hell outta Polar Ray if you can get it to land often - and since its Conjuration you have awesome web synergies.  The fact that enemies take 0 dmg on a made save for Cold Ray is not an issue because every enemy that is important has evasion anyway.  Add in free max/emp/whatever epic metas you take for the SLA and being able to doublecast it (SLA and chosen spell) makes ice by far the best single target DPS for sorcs. 

A good secondary for Ice with the new lv 30 feats would be acid, which raises conjuration DC by 4, gives PRR instead of MRR, and allows you to have even better single target DPS with more DOTs.  Also, acid will affect those pesky cold-immune skellies that love to pop up all over the goddamn place.

Fuck skeletons.

Nice catch on the Conj, man, I hadn't even thought of that.

It really just depends on what mob saves are like.  I could see a case being made for air, water or fire (fuck earth though).  I'm partial to air because of KD immunity and air step.

My first thought was also earth for pairing with web but web doesn't make mobs helpless, unless I'm mistaken. Entangled not held I think.

Like others have said, I'm thinking the sonic/enchantment level 30 feat on an air savant. I'll have to wait til some dedicated soul figures out if splashing bard comes out ahead on the enchantment dc's. Also if it's worth it to even try given mob dc's. Or if somebody at Turbine decides to take a legendary shit and label it Legendary Ward with mind-affecting immunity.

Legendary Ward is going to be level 9 spell mantle, Fom, Epic ward and extra 30 reflex against magic when full hp.

Dex all the way
  

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
