Defensive Warlock build

[Ryan]

Ive been following this for my current (and final) Warlock life.

Whilst I lack the raid gear that you have, plus I cant be bothered to craft for a class that isnt my final class, I am finding it to be extremely solid and makes levelling extremely fast – so much so that Ive decided to grind out some Epic Past lives

In my previous Lock lives I dipped into Cha a bit to give DC casting a bit of ooompf, but I shouldve realised that at higher levels it was just wasted stat points as the DCs as Pen scale up considerably.

Nice build cheers

Hey legend, I know this is an old thread but Corazon advised me to take a look after I was running with him today and he recommended the build.

I’m was thinking of TR’ing one of my toons into a Warlock and this build looks solid and Cora was highly imressive running a version of it. I think I piked the handful of quests I ran with him… lol.

Any advice on levelling gear? I see the end game gear, but would be good to have some recommendations for mid/late heroic levels and early Epics.

Cheers,
Jimmy

I have been playing a con based aura build for about a year now. /it is a vey solid build even for reapers. I agree with everything you said in your post. It has no problems neither in heroics neither in epics. Dont be afraid of the traps the HP are more than adequate and moreover cocoon heals you very good. Moreover you can play it with any race even for racial trs without any problems.

For this last part i am very considerable if racial trs are beneficial. I mean they are but for at least 2 of every class..Aura warlocks are very good at levelling especially after level 6 and you can collect massive reaper xp on the way.

I wouldn’t worry too much on gear for Lvling. Make sure you top off your spell power once in a while. Radiance (light) and the one you choose as your pact. To optimize your blasts. Maybe keep your con and cha up and zerg right on trough to 30.
Might pick up a shield later on. To get the imp shield mastery going. But you can also run around without.
If you go for a shield try and pick up a shield of tireless aid (lvl 13) it will keep you save for a long time. Beware of the 15 asf.

Tanky warlock is a blast!

Exactly what Sthax said, I just used a lot of random gear like a Radiance ring of radiance lore and same for whatever element you choose, then con/g f life item, armor can go with epic Templars, cavalry plate to necro ones to whatever end game u want, the shield Sthax mentioned lasts u till u get the epic one and ofc norm greensteel is useful.
Don’t spend too much time configuring lower lvl items, shouldn’t be at those lvls long enough for it to matter imo.

Hello Jimmy.

I def recommend taking the shield mastery line – I use Skyvault Tower shields.

Very survivable.

My feat order was (if I remember correctly)

Heroic.
Empower
Completionist (take Toughness)
Maximise
Shield Proficiency
Shield Mastery
Quicken
Improved Shield Mastery

This was for Iconic life.

If going Heroic life take quicken earlier for your blasts.

Epic levels.
E Blast
Intensify
A blast (D)
Wellspring of power
SP light (D)
Arcane pulse (D)
EDR
Celestia

The destiny feats might be dependant on the number of spheres you have unlocked so you may have to choose something else.

Ignore DC casting or anything that needs to bypass SR in high level quests as it wont land. Just blast everthing

Thanks for all the advice, and apologies for hijacking Legend’s thread…

I’ll TR my toon over the next day or two and let you know how it goes. From what I’m told, Warlocks are a lot of fun and they are very solid for running through quests.

Cheers,
Jimmy

If you have the fate points, consider Blood & Radiance (Tier 4 Exalted Angel). In normal gameplay, Endless Ardor and Righteous Fervor always stack to 10 in seconds and stay there as long as there are mobs to hit. This gives you 30 light and 30 positive SP which is, for all intents and purposes, permanent.
