The main toon I've been working on was intended to be a strong, reaper ready melee toon (pretty close to getting him to be able to solo pussy reaper or at least survive in the mid range right now with my gear set - but he still doesn't have many PLs or reaper points) but I've decided to switch him over to a caster (at least for awhile) and maybe run some lock lives to boost his reaper points and run some racial lives.

But if I wanted to buff him a bit running 3 to 4 other caster lives, what would be the best selection and in which order?  I'm thinking FvS, Wiz, Sor.  Or is there a better selection order?

I'd also like to create a generic spell caster gear set (and by create I mean slightly modify Rubbinns caster set).  Is it at all do-able to organize it where there's only one piece that can be specifically designed to be switched out for each class?  Like the googles are one of the slavers pieces?

I'll probably switch to another toon for awhile and run a few heroic arti, rogue, monk lives first, but I need to know what to TR this toon into to prep him.

Thanks.

That'll depend on how the epic arti lives go and how quickly I can knock them out and if I go for the best path.  Definitely keep that in mind though

Probably should have been more specific though (my fault, sorry).  Was thinking 3 different classes to get them knocked out in case I ever decide to go for completionist - kind of thinking about killing a bird and a half with one stone, so to speak (might not want to kill that second bird right away, but would like to wound it a little in case I decide to ).

That's actually not too bad.  Already figured the weapon would vary by class, so two pieces isn't horrible - as long as I don't have to make a complete set for each class.

Ug, what destiny should I start with or does it really matter (fucking hate destinies so much.  Too much time spent grinding XP on worthless destinies ><).

I just finished a barb life.  Do I want to open up the destiny there so I can grab cocoon early on?  Or wait and open it up on a caster life?

This is what I'm going to do. Ravenloft gear is easy drops. Adherent set is very adaptable to cover different stats and school DCs. Beacon set belt can swap to your spellpower of choise. Still ironing out what all to craft onto the slaver pieces.

You can't take this guy seriously. Been out of the game too long. He doesn't know that Web and Evards are conjuration or that Evo DCs affect eldritch blast.

I do have 42+ Evo DC on a level 12 cleric.

This is so wrong :-D the only usable warlock sell without spellpen check is web. And as warlock you never want go for triple spell pen feat line. 9 spell pen from pastlifes making a GREAT difference (literally 45%). Wizard pastlifes is much better in this term: great feat, better spellpen per life and neat offensive wands DC: with W&S mastery you can use web wands like a boss at lower levels: DC will be same to better over actual spellcasters. Also helping to kill faster those rats in tormented. 60/120 sp from pastlifes are not needed, yet not bad to have.
Both cleric and sorc pastlifes are not needed on heroics. Warlocks are using evocation DC for their pact damage, yet it counts as lvl 9 spell so basic DC 19. Is much better than any warlock spell anyway, yet if you dont wanna see on epics and legendary save save save save while you are doing pfft pfft you need to slot evocation focus and sorc pastlifes are helping there too.
Overall for any arcane, not warlock only, pastlifes needed are: 1) 3x wizard 2) 2x racial stat 3) completionist for feat 4) energy criticals or rapid arcane epic pls x3 5) cleric and sorc pastlifes 6) defensive padtlifes: prr/mrr/ac/hp/saves

For divines its slightly differrent cause, say, druid has only single one spell that uses spell pen check. Most offensive spells are evocation and conjuration, making sorc and cleric lifes more needed.

I do understand you, most people are playing terrible classes they dislike, yet still, such a waste of heart :-D If I've you I'd run 12 wiz 8 fighter wf for heroic wiz pastlife or sort of repeater build, or, maybe, monk. Just take first wizzy level at 2-3 with extend and 3 10 min buffs you'll rock on low level content. Again, its extra cleave for literally one AP. Once you hit 8 fighter and 12 character level you'll become strong enough to carry self on heroics and extra wizard levels will mean more buffs and better repair spells. Self-repairing is awesome on r1 mate ^^ just slot this repair spellpower ruby and enjoy
