Warlock

Thought I'd share a warlock themed build I had in mind. Haven't combined this many sets in awhile :p. Trying to get good use of all 3 sets(Fire/Infernal/Dark) with Fire being used for AoE damage, Infernal for ST, and Dark for light CC/healing and self-buffing.

<b><u><a href="http://aesica.net/co/herocreator.htm?v=29&n=Warlock&d=15730r5PNWi30610s02000O200230eEF077F009E00LN0CLE052G03OP03ON01L805OQ00K6030ckr2MGB438W">Warlock - Freeform</a></u></b>
v2.4.2-29

Edit: Forums suck with build posting D:
Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    The forums seem to be using BBCode now and not HTML.

    Overdrive won't be a great EU here; OD is more suited to spamming toggle or maintain attacks. Its also a bit redundant to have both Conflag and Firebreath in there. Defile is also a bit costly to spam.

    In this case, I may retool the build to use Darkness for ST dps (SBlast debuff and ERuin), Fire for AoE, and Infernal for debuffing and accessory powers (like Life Essence for extra heals).

    Thanks! This looks pretty good to me! Plus, I always felt defile was a bit...lacking in DPS to be honest but looked neat! I'll definitely be using this as it keeps to the 3, which was the overall goal. Quick question; Can I still find a way to substitute Dark transfusion in instead of conviction since Life essence is already in?
    Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    I'd prob pass on DT, esp as you likely won't need the energy if built/geared properly anyways.

    The damage advantage wouldnt be worth it to cycle in between my AO? Was hoping to include it for theme reasons as well, but if it's a bit of a drag overall then perhaps I'll keep conviction

    If its for dps, you can always add something like a 2nd AO or an ult instead, if that's the aim. (or maybe something like Soul Vortex or Summon Shadows)
