	I ran a Shiradi wizard for a long time, then went to a pure PDK Draconic sorc. I just came back to the game and am currently on a barb life. Going to be TRing back to a DPS caster. Curious what is king these days, in the way of raw full retard DPS?

OVER 9000! the lightning bolt sla did look to be potentially pretty smexy with the no caster level cap. less smexy with only 10 cl increase. fireball and scorch with cap increases would be fun... i see greensteel procs on spells now and is affected by spellpower?

	Wizards are possibly best caster DPS right now due to master of knowledge and ruin/greater ruin. Perhaps warlocks with wizards splash could do a little bit more.

Sounded like it scaled with caster levels. I only had 7 wiz levels during the test and that was without fvs splashes

I guess I may drop Addy body because of the ap cost. Idk.

	I went 14 wiz/4 pal/2 FvS bladeforged. Originally planned to go 15 wiz/4 FvS/1 barb, but realized that would required two LRs and a alignment change. I may TR into a half elf with the warlock past life for a little extra DPS. Level 18 in heroics now, and it's worked surprisingly well despite the low caster levels (took all FvS/pal levels up front). Main problem I see is evasion mobs where arcane blast don't work well. How prevelant is evasion at end game? From what I understand, it's pretty much impossible to get reasonable DCs on arcane blast. Do you guys plan to take heighten?

It's not that you can't fit heighten in on a non-wizard, but I just feel like Heighten is less valuable if you also aren't going to grab PL Wiz, SF and Greater SF to get the DC's up. So it's 3-4 feats or none. For a Non-Wiz DPS, I generally go with: Max, Empower, Quicken, MT, Imp MT, Completionist, (1 Random - Insight Reflex, FoP, or Skill Focus SpellCraft, Enlarge). For a Wiz DPS, I drop the random and go with Heighten, PL Wiz, SF, Greater SF, Enlarge in that order until I run out of feats.

	Disses me, then takes my recommendation. Also, figures out Enlarge Spell is a good idea; and he wants us to believe he's the real Zergod? He didn't even spell the name right.

The only thing that has a save for this shiradi build is arcane bolt/blast. I'm not sure if it's possible to get relevant DCs on it, or if it's even affected by evocation bonuses.
