Still hoping someone replies.  While waiting, a few more questions.

Ok, so if I'm holding a weapon, I still get the bonuses even if I'm not using it? 

And where does ghost touch come in?  Will augmenting a weapon with ghost touch let me hit reapers?

If you're not doing utterdark blast to consolidate all your offense to radiance, just go with a pansophic circlet instead of trying to gear for multiple flavors.

Quickest route wasn't exactly quick but should have enough ings now. 

Before I gimp the gear (which I'll be making in the next day or so) I'm going for 3 crafted slavers pieces.  If I understand it right, after putting Necro focus and insightful necro focus on the googles and insightful impulse on my gloves, I'll have 3 tier two slots and 1 tier three slots to work with.

Tier two I can have two spell lores and one spell power, or two spell powers and one spell lore.

Tier three (if I take spellcraft and spell pen - which I'll only need spell pen till level 15 when I'll have it on an item, so I could probably drop it if needed) I'll have at least one spot for spell focus.

Dumb it down for me (seriously, putting this together has given me a headache)

What are my best options for my 3 tier two slots for a Goo warlock.

And should I just go for enchant for my secondary focus, or would it be better to drop spell pen for levels 6-14 and take a third focus?

Right now what I'm looking at -

Boots
Dex
Spell lore or Spell Power
Spell craft
Q CHR

Belt
Wizardry
Spell lore or Spell Power
Spell Focus
Q Con

Bracers
Wis
Spell Lore or Spell Power
Spell Pen
Q MRR

So the questions were, if I have necro as my spell focus on my googles, which spell focus should be my secondary on my belt?  Answer - enchantment (tyvm).

If I understand it correct, I need acid/corrosion for lore and pact damage, which leaves one slot open that can be either lore or pact damage.  What should I be taking there?  Impulse?  Radiance? 

This would all be easier if there was a slavers planner that actually listed these things since I'm still learning which terms go with which categories.  From your answer to my other questions, I think the answer is radiance, right?  Fuck it, we're probably going to go for radiance.

Edit - Wait, I have insightful impulse listed...haven't pulled the rod of mythant yet.  So I really need to find an impulse item if I'm going to slot radiance...

All very good information and just in time before I started actually crafting my gear.  Thanks

So, should I not be using the soul eater tree at all then?  I only opened it up because everyone (and everyone who isn't here tends to be an idiot) keeps rattling on about the cone damage. 

Can't say I'm impressed or really liking cone so far (though there's a good chance I'm fucking it up).  The range seems much shorter and I don't think the damage is higher than the regular blast either.

I've got the slavers orb and brazenband.  I've ran memoirs about 50 million fucking times but haven't pulled the headpiece yet (I've hit ransack once already).

No luck on the rod either and I can't get shimmer (don't have the pack).  I'm looking at putting con, insightful con and sheltering on a ring and chr, insightful chr and dodge on a cloak. 

Right now I'm planning on putting int, resistance and insightful MRR on a helm - I can easily replace two with slightly lower augments if I pull the fucking circlet (or maybe I can switch the slavers wis for int, depending which has a higher plus in the augment at level 14 - I'll have to check).

That really just leaves the weapon.  If I don't need the rod for the impulse, what's a better weapons for my build?

Won't matter that much for me now with heroic, and this set should be more than good enough for a farming toon.

Seriously, thanks for helping me through the learning curve on this.  It's starting to make sense.

Now for the clean up.

Looks like I'll have my elemental resistances taken care of with my tree, so that's going to free up a ton of slots for me.  I know I have to get water breathing, blindness immunity and FF slotted in there somewhere with all the blue augments but -

Do warlocks have fear immunity?  I want to say I saw that in there somewhere, but can't remember if it was in a tree (or the tree I opened up when I shouldn't have), or was it blindness immunity that I saw?  Do I need a fear immunity aug?

What about poison and disease?  Are they covered with the class?  Or should I throw some augments in there if I have open slots?

You seriously underestimate how lazy I can be.  Given the choice between slotting it once vs doing it every quest (or even once every 5 quests), I'm going to go for slotting it once every time
