Question about Slavers
Aug 30th, 2018 at 3:08pm
Print Post  
Been farming for mats, just finished up and made my stuff, and it occurred to me I never once saw the bingo award..

Anyone know or have an idea the best spot to get the batch of mythic mats in Heroic.. yeah I want the +3, but since not a single one of my blanks in Heroic ever dropped with mythic on them, even the +1 bingos would be good.

thanks..

The blanks can't have mythic on them. They can have reaper on them, but mythic can only be gained from the statuettes or busts. The regular named items can drop with mythic.

The best place to farm for the busts and statuettes is probably part 3. The first few chest(s) should be the quickest to get to. I do not think farming for busts is likely to yield any results before you go mad unless you automate it.

I think the blanks can have mythic.  I'd need to check a mule but I'd have sworn that I had 2 of the same kind of blank, one with a mythic and one with a reaper bonus.  The reason the reaper bonus is on a mule is because I had another blank with the same reaper bonus.   Wink  But if I'm remembering right the mythic one just sits on the mule because it's a rare drop, not because I'd ever use it over the reaper one.  I vaguely recall some dev post about how if the item already has a mythic bonus that they can't have 2, but I don't know if that means you can't apply one or if it'll just overwrite the existing one.

The statuattes and busts are rare as hens teeth, and the busts are probably 1/10 as common as the stauettes.  If they do drop pray that you get the bonus amount so you'll have enough for a full set.  But I gotta say, dropping +3 mythic on 5 items is pretty sweet.

Gear sets for your heroic warlocks. Focuses on getting higher DC, prr/mrr and saves. Though if youre doing lower skulls or elite then FFS gear set is better due to the dps. Pretty sure an even more dps centric set up can be assembled. Combining beacon set + golden orb of death, insightful spell powers, and cannith challenge gear for higher spellpower.

I think

That's where you always go wrong.   Grin

The blanks only drop as normal or with reaper bonuses.  Mythic bonuses on blanks are only available via the statuettes and busts.

The named Slave Lords items can drop with both mythic and reaper bonuses on them however.

Considering the near violent opposition to Fey when mentioned previously, which is more effective for Heroics, the GOO or Fiend Pact? I just figure since Burnscar is pretty much ideal for Fiend/fire.. would ask if there was a particularly compelling reason to go GOO instead?

For a 5-piece set, do you want 2 chains/2 rings/1 shackle, or some other split?

I think he meant to ask what besides the set bonus do you recommend crafting on the two crafted slots that were recommended...yeah
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

The 5 piece set is pretty much the sorcery set.  The might 5 piece set is nice, but you can probably do better with higher level gear in heroics or more focused gear in epics.  I'm not sure if the endurance set has ever been made, not by me in any event.  So just talking sorcery set, heroic or epic you're going to want spinneret.  So that limits you to one crafted ring.  A 5 piece sorc set might look like cloth armor, spinneret, crafted ring, trinket, and any one of the other crafted pieces.

Some other split.
That involves some named items. Definitely one of the sources of quality spell focus: spinneret or mutilator. Personally I often also use named helmet and trinket. If divine, add the heavy armor.

I prefer great old one for heroics. If you're planning on running low skulls it doesn't matter much, but fire immunity is far more common than acid immunity and knock/PK are better than blindness/slow.

If you plan on running mid/high skulls at higher levels mass suggestion and even create thrall are good.

Fiend becomes better in epics because
1) Charm duration is nerfed and charming is therefore much less valuable
2) Hurl becomes more valuable when compared to heroics assuming you're running high skulls (although it seems to be extremely overrated by a lot of players, which is a separate discussion)
3) Although epic warlock dps is always terrible, fire can maintain significantly higher crit chance than acid which is something I guess

As far as what people are saying about gear goes, there's no good reason that you should care about adherent set. I'm going to assume you're asking for mid/high skulls (at least at mid/higher levels), because a warlock can easily solo 3-ish with practically no gear with virtually no risk of dying.

- Slavers set (chains, shackles, spinneret, hardened hide, symbol)
- Beacon set if you want to do a bit more damage, I used profane bonus armor/cc gloves with hamp and some other stuff/burnscar sash
- Skulled ring
- cc charming goggles
- cc charisma cloak
- golden orb of death for a bit more damage, I used fanion

The more skulls you're playing on the more you're going to have to play as a dc caster.

Please note that most players will find it more efficient to play a warlock built for damage doing most quests on r3ish. I got horribly bored of that so I started doing higher skulls and playing more like a traditional caster than a warlock.

If you use my list (5 piece mist set, a 3 piece beacon set, and a 5 piece slaver set.) You may want to do a Slaver Endurance set, because Beacon and Slaver Sorcery don't fully stack.

I've already crafted the three craftable pieces of the sorcery set, though; so not in an easy position to go back and switch them to Endurance.

In heroics it's a pretty easy farm.  Epics are a kick in the nuts, and especially since RL gear made it necessary for me to re-farm a sorc set that didn't have redundant stats on it.

There 3 ways to play warlock: dps, tank and dc caster. You can combine DC caster with dps or tank but no way to combine dps and tank. Both gonna be shitty. So since you first wanna focus on DC you'll need 5 slave lord gear set. Spinnaret just musthave. Symbol is great item too: there no good trinkets for spellcasters anyway, and getting craftable for CC is not that easy. Rest three item are very depending on what do you want. I personally prefer 2x chains and shackles. I have extra shacles copying of the chain if I wanna go beacon.
For DPS you will want to use beacon robe cause of extra crits and set if you are fiend or goo. Sadly there no belt for sonic spellpower and fey warlocks are kinda best for dps/enchantments. Most obviiois Cha CC slot is cloack. Craft it at lvls 13, 18, 23. I like add dodge here. For a tank you want CC medium armors with con and parrying. Also some named medium armors not so bad. Googles are most obvius slot for main CC spellfocus. For me its always necro on warlocks (cause instakills is fastest way to make shit done while you leveling) and I add ins spellpen here. Helmet is speculative, slave lords one not that bad, yet I do prefer put my CC sheltering and spellfocus mastery here. Warlocks are using necro, enchantments, conjuration and evocation + illusion if hou are GOO. No way to slot it all. You dont need ins fortification on warlock cause you'll get 25 to 75% extra fortification in any build.
For a second ring I prefer branzeband 'cause of speed, ins dodge and ins evo focus. For a tank build boots from tavern brawl are pretty nice. Main weapon and glovea are good choices to run crafted spellpower, while in offhand I like to use Fanion. Really, its best fucking choice for any non-evasion arcane. Its as much cool item as I sometimes use it in my divine lifes too. Taking less damage from fireballs and traps, extra sp and hp,and 0 asf. You dont need shield prof to use it, you wont melee anyway. Yet of corse you may use 2 ravenloft scepters, skull ring, w/e googles and so on, will work for lower skulls on heroics anyway, but you may find some lacking of DC and survivabity on lower to mid epics, especially if you are running elites and reapers.
