Warlock build for my son

[Steve]

If you want a blaster warlock (the one who shoots his blasts instead of going melee), you want concentration maxed.
As of dexterity, i recommend stopping at 14 or 16 dex so you either ise mithral fullplate or mithral breastplate (with Leaps and bounds or +4 dex item).

As of ranged touch attack, you don't need to worry about it at all. 95% of BG mobs have very low AC, so you are unlikely to miss even if you have 8 dex.

I always max Concentration on my Warlocks because casting Retributive Invisibility while being attacked can be an important safety net. Or even Baleful Donination of going for a controller Lock.

I RCRed my warlock 5 times and the best builds in my opinion are.

Warlock27/Dragonslayer3
Max CON, medium Dex (20 total), focus on damage and AC (mithril breastplate+small shield with ASF and +3 shield AC rapier).

Warlock 17/10 Dssp/3 Guild Thief
Max CON and focus on damage (Epic eldritch blast), less AC compared to warlock DS but damage is way Better

Hellfire Conlock 27 warlock/3 Hellfire warlock, top damage but if you are not skilled do not play It.

Sneakylock, 27 warlock 3 Shadowdancer, DEX based.

Hips, greater invis and otherwordly leap, one of the best PvPlock build.

Controllock, 30 warlock (human).

Low damage, low AC, top DC in PvE but you cannot solo bosses. Noxious + Eldritch Doom is reeeeeeally fun, you can pick Blackguard but it's not mandatory.

(Power Attack + cleave is pretty bad in my opinion)

AClock, 24 warlock/3 monk/3 Fist of the Forest.

Dex to AC, Wis to AC, Con to AC, owl insight elixir + turt shell, uncanny dodge thanks to FotF, speed boost thanks to monk, Dash, blindfight.

Yes, it's a solid build in my opinion even if your damage is not the best (17d6 eldritch blast).

Meleelock, not worth it, low ab, AC is not the best, damage is not the best, impossible to make a CL 30 nonWoC build, WoC looks great but it's not without guttural, It means no wands, no potuto, no elixirs, no healing kits.

Unlock eldritch knight for warlocks and maybe it's viable, in addition to dragonslayer but ATM, no thanks.

The funnies build? Daggerlock, lot of skillpoints and utility, 10% rep against the OP prices for lowbies, really good damage, AC isn't that bad.

You can build it around CON or DEX, that's your choice.

That's what I'm playing actually, a master of elements and it's quite fun (and deadly). I'll give you a screenshot of how much potential it has but I don't want to share the build I'm still using because some players want a warlock nerf more than a new and fresh content for other classes even if when both mechanically and RP the warlock is hard to play and has (or should have) consequences within the RP setting.



I conclude by saying to choose the way you like and enjoy the most, the warlock class is able to adapt to various game situations but if you are looking for dynamic gameplay I strongly advise against this class because in long run it can be really boring. Even though it's not 3.5, many of the things said in this video are true.

Warlock 27 with 3 levels of Hellfire Warlock should have base Eldritch Blast Dice of 14d6. Such a build will have access to a total of 7 Epic Feats, thus you can get Eldritch Master for +50% damage, and +6d6 Eldritch Blast Dice from Epic Eldritch Blast feats. Then, if you also turn on Hellfire Blast you will gain additional +6d6 Eldritch Blast dice damage. Thus in total we are looking at: 26d6 * 1.5 = 136.5~ (Damage on Avarage, 39 Minimum, 234 Maximum)

Now, I am not sure, but I think a Yeti has a weakness to fire, hence they take +50% damage from fire by default. Moreover, if a Warlock were to use Instill Vulnerability (Fire) to instill addition +50% Fire weakness, that in and of itself will double the damage of a single Eldritch Blast.

And then you remember that a Ranged Touch Attack can also score a critical hit, which also doubles the damage.

Thus if we take the average damage of "136.5~" and multiply it by 4, we will arrive at 546 points of Fire damage.

And if we do the same for the maximum damage of "234" and multiply that by 4, we will arrive at 936 points of Fire Damage.
