Any reasonable wizard/alc split?

I'm doing iconic lives and trying to fill in the last few useful heroic lives. I need to do 3 deep gnome iconics and 2 of them will be alchemists. So, is there a good wizard/alchemist split, or do I just got 1/19 and grit my teeth to 30?

Same question for Warlock, since 2 alchemist pls and 1 warlock are really the only ones I need until SSG introduces a new iconic with a halfway decent passive effect.
  
I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I did Warlock for Deep Gnome lives. Went 19/1. It was just as boring as a pure Warlock. All according to taste of course but I'm not convinced there's a way to make Warlock good/fun. Especially in epics it felt slow and made me wish I had a pile of boxes.

Well if I want to have EPLs on my alts(EPLs being the most valuable IMO), I need to save my imp. epics for those. But I have TONS of heroic & regular epic. So I can box clear up to 24(25 on a bonus weekend). I'd also actually like to play the game some. Playing from 25 to 30 seems like exactly enough grinding not to get dull.

Seems like there should be a way to do undead warlock, but none of the level splits work right IIRC.

The lock life isn't really the problem. Its the alchemist lives I am working to figure out. I already rolled into 1 wizard/19 alch, going to see how that plays later today.

Well 1/19 sucks butt. I should be able to play it to 30 ok but it hurts.

Am thinking of doing 5 wizard/2 artificer/13 alch for life #2 and either do some kind of thrower build.

3/17 is great if your are just leveling. You can go PM and Apothecary and self heal while you spam Inflict wounds with no lvl cap.

Deep gnome pure pale master were probably the easiest lives I've ever ran in ddo.  Really no reason to splash.  Run in groups and you'll be done with all three lives in 9 days (if your gear doesn't suck).

Running 9 wiz almost 11 rogue. Despite fucking up the split by going too deep as wizard, it's fun to play anyway. Thanks to insightful reflex plus pale master wraith I barely receive any damage, even from traps. Though that's probably more to do with the rogue levels.
I think I'll seriously stick to running splits of wizard with falconeering for weapon dmg on just about every other life...

You struggle with heal scrolls - did you honestly think this would be easy for you? Maybe use one of those dozens of rocks you got...

Except that I need an alchemist past life. Already have 3 wizard.

1 Wiz / 1 Barb (just for run speed) / 18 Alch

SWF Dagger (INT to hit & damage)

40+ AP in Vistani get the top tier stuff (incl tier 4 +20 MP)
1 AP In EK just for extra cleave
8 AP Harper Know the Angles
Rest AP in Chemist to add to the Poison damage dices, Core 4 for full BAB, immunity drain etc.

Cleave / GCleave feats so you'll have 3 cleaves to spam for AOE.
Battalion Brew (int 2 hit & dmg), Liquid Luck (evasion),

Alchemic spell boosts for speed (running and attack), buffs, improved elemental weapons, SLA: Wave of Poison with quicken (don't use Poisoned attatck).

Later on Epics go for Shadowdancer, Epic SWF.

If you just doing it to get to 30  and aren't trying to run high reapers, you can zerg pretty fast with 1 something/ 19 alchemist.
Just did 2 Tabaxi 1 monk/19 Alchemist iconics and had to wait for reincarantion timer each time
