One of the main benefits of an aura warlock is the ability to just run forward and burst when a lot of mobs are around. This exposes the character to a lot of potential damage, something that's fine in heroics or low reaper but gets you liked fast in high reaper. That and the fact that instakills are stronger the higher in skulls  you go.

I've been having a lot of fun with Pure class artificer Arcanotech + Harper + crossbow feats.  While daze isn’t the DPS effect that stunned is, putting reaper mobs on a short timeout is hella useful.

fuck ya

Has anyone in omni tried a vanguard build for heroic reaper leveling?
Something like fighter palie wiz for massive ac n such?
Basically either go 2 options.
Endure and let guards kill enemies or go for miss chance and slowly kill em.
Could be ok in theory

For r3 and below it might be a good build.
Focus on guards and stun locks for reapers in vanguard tree.
Craft a crap load of gsteel guard bshit items /as i know guards arent reduced at least they werent on lama.
Could do a vanguard/warlock and focus on temp hp /aura/guard

We need more options, barb/sorc/lock cant be the only min max builds we can do to crush reaper atm.
Although a monk/druid with wheloon endreward ss with vorpal is also really good in lowbies/mid levels
I think its worth exploring, in case it still work full time as it did when i tested on lama

Sorry but nothing comes close to warlock. Be it "auralock" dump DC or ES cha based.  There is no option. With champ bug you can zerg until you literally can't walk, on r3, then just blast/evard everything. Rinse and repeat. With patch tomorrow, things will get worrse to everyone, but as usual, less for warlocks. Just play R2 instead, or zerg less.

Hell, I don't even need a hire past lv 10.

There is some bad advice here on this thread. I wouldn't recommend anyone looking for quick RPL to play a barb or a sorc. Doesn't matter your goal, if you want quick RPL and don't care about rxp, if you want both on reasonable time, or want max rxp and don't care about how long you take for the life. Warlock will always be superior to any other class, you can always zerg more or play a higher skull / do both things on a warlock instead of another class.

It's like this:

Warlock blaster invested on DC > Warlock blaster dump DC con based >>>> sorc > barb >>>>>> doesn't mattter, rest here suck

In all seriousness, I have to do 2 Dragonborn lives, can I just play them the same as a drow 20Warlock/Max Chaaaaa and Con?

Looking at the lfm panel and who list it's pretty fucking clear to me that everybody is running tardlocks.
Either because it's just better than anything else or everybody sucks too much to play other classes. Or both.

Point is you can always zerg harder or play  on a higer skull with a warlock.

And it's more confortable. You don't  have to think much, or smash many buttons. Can be tired after work, you don't die and your completion times aren't going to change. Everybody just wants to get racial PL as easy/quick as possible, and some wants rxp on the way.

Why sould I give myself a trouble to play anything else?  If things get boring can just play a higher skull and have as much fun on a warlock running higher skull than with other class running lower, but getting more reward on warlock.

I don't see why people think warlocks is so boring. For me it's same thing as playing anything else. Zerging is zerging, doesn't matter what build, it is still zerging.

And zerging faster/harder is more fun if you do like zerging... zerging faster/harder is less boring  if you do not like it.

Agree with the top, disagree with the statement that going from r1 and 2 higher then quest level to r5 and at quest level slows you down only 5 to 10 percent. Unless you're in a great group, and most groups on khyber are doing max r4 for quests 10 and under, you're doing it slower and with some deaths.

From lv 10+ when you get evards Im doing R3 at base lv about 10% slower than I used to at elite old days on lv +2. Don't think a barb could do that. I tried, I couldn't. Since you get evards its a zerg fest on R3, with a gs amp/amp/amp I don't even have the incovenience of using a hireling.

But even if you are doing R2 and R1, tell me more about your experience with a barb in quests like necro2 with all those phasers and mobs you can't crit.
