On race: My friend was interested in going Bladeforged (With a +1 heart). I would advise against this. Reconstruct is a potent heal, but it does not synergize with this build. Also, putting 16 in Bladeforged wipes out all points in SE.

On pact: I think a case can be made for all three pacts. I was testing GOO most recently, because acid resistance is uncommon, Will save target numbers are the easiest to hit, and I've been reading some Lovecraft. I'm posting fiend here because it seems to have the most spell power synergy between the mandatory scion feat and consecration, reinforcing the fort save is nice. Fiend is less desirable if your metagame is mostly devil content, though it is good at crystals. Fey pact gets free wings (but you want to be in EA anyway), and sonic is the least resisted, and there are actually a few more choices for slotting sonic spellpower now, but being subject to reflex saves and evasion is still a bummer. (Just the sonic portion gets evaded.)

On playing EA: It may not be apparent in descriptions, but this build is designed to take advantage of the Warlock aura stacking both aspects of Blood and Radiance and also Empyrean Magic (it procs when it actually hits stuff.) Instead of just aura-piking, you want to spam SLAs. Always lead with Soundburst vs trash. Lots of options to rotate for different situations.

fleshy is better dps and versatility. every point not spent in warlock trees is that much less spellpower. I would only recommend robot if it is a brand new character without gear and destiny levels. legendary heartwood is really good on US robot locks due to not only the high sheltering value but also because 72 repair amp. with pansophic and heartwood, recons hit for 1300 base and crit for 3k.

Rotation matters more than race.

Also, if you're looking to get an iconic life out of this and are willing to blow that +1 heart, you can do PDK with the same AP split.

If you go deep gnome, move 5 points from SE to racial to get that sweet +20 spellcraft.

Morninglord works too, but it costs 16 to get the +30 light power.

If you go BF anyway, do 16 in racial to get the action boost.

SK is a no go. Try a mech build for that.

if you want to hit 1k heals without mok, then it does.

way, way better than using 11 ap.

twist cocoon at tier 1 and play in any ed.

i disagree. my current lock is a robot. but that is because it is first life, new toon, no tomes, no gear, and very few eds leveled. If I had multi life toons with access to all the gear and consumables, then I would roll human. every time.

150 base, 500 spell power is 900 total?

40% repair amp from BF = 1.26k?

It's been awhile since I used recon.
