[Solved]EDR on warlock

[Void]

Is epic damage reduction even useful on a warlock?

The cookie cutter build section has a cha-based feylock and con-based infernalist with EDR but... does it even stack with anything warlock has?

I'm sorta wondering if the investment is worth it or reducing con in order to get a bit more int or strength (and maybe wear armor) would be a good idea.

EDR warlock (fiend and fey) has been the optimal, easiest to play warlock build for years now. EDR and warlock immunity both take effect, as does immunities from gear.

The problem is it kicks in epic levels and it takes months to get there.

Let's say I want to live dangerously and forego it. I don't lose much, do I?

Responding from the stance of a Fey-pacted warlock - I've found high CHA and Blackguard for super saves/divine shield works perfectly without the need for EDR.

I was thinking about Fiendlock, meaning summon puppeteering. In case of Fiendlock loss of 3 levels locks the warlock out of the last summon.

according to the wiki, you get your last summon at lvl 25. You get Icestrom at lvl 28. In fact, on a Fiendlock, I would take both blackguard and EDR 3.

My bad, I didn't realize the table skipped some levels. Yes, in this case blackguard levels are a good idea.

Marking as solved. I found a way to tweak recommended build more to my liking.

You're going to want ice storm. It procs eldritch blast & is the source of a lot of fiend lock damage. I'd never do BG with a fiendlock.

Noted. It is highly likely that I won't ever get to the ice storm level though.

I would like to change my mind. going bg also means needing 13 str, 2 more feats and I think empowered icestorm is actually good. pure imo.

Going BG does not require feats on arelith. Only attack bonus +6.

its not for the BG requirements, its for actually making use of the class. 13 str, power attack and divine shield, or you shouldnt even consider taking the class.

No autostill for warlocks, sadly, but you can button up in adamantine heavy armor, AND there was a mention on forums of items that grant 7th spell slot to a bard.

For fiendlocks, keepin gthe summon at absolute max power, and getting Ice Storm, is more important than that.

with spellcraft, your high CON, and bard natural saves, gettinf extremely high in all 3 saves vs spells and even in general is a pittance anyways, since gearing is extremely easy.

As a Feylock, going 27 Feylock 3 BG is a no brainer, though, especially because Feylock has an extra feat to use, able to pick up Still Spell in place of Fiendlock needing Quicken spell.

Don't dip BG on a fiendlock. Fiendlocks go pure and CON. EDR is a must. Warlocks level very easily, so the way to EDR feats shouldn't take long, really.
