Hi, I,m new and have been looking around the site for awhile and was just wondering is there a guide on the wizard/warlock build? Before you ask yes i know it's squishy, yes i know cleric and bard are the favorite subclasses, and yes i know this build is for endgame. Thx for the help.

Don't think there is a wiz/lock guide on SRF. I had a low lvl wiz/lock once, it was pretty fun o.O I'll try my best to answer any questions that you have though.

Several mil for sure.
A wizard will find a party most of the times, as a lock you might have a harder time since people still don't know the value of a good warlock in their party.

Main skills you need are ofcourse the nukes for wizard. Others are fear, life control/turnover and the passives obviously (otherwise you can't get the nukes)

For warlock, basic skills are vampire kiss/touch, debuffs, the bleed/dull DoT's (Damage over Time), scream mask, hidden skill (trap something).

It's kinda late now but if no one has hooked you up with a more detailed build tomorrow I will see if I can fix something for ya. Or I will do it anyways if I think the build someone else suggested needs more =p

New post! I get to 3.6mil needed with my build. I made it on sro.mmosite but yeah I can't see the skill descriptions etc so I'm not entirely sure if I got all the skills. I'll try to make a table or something with every information.

Here ya go:

I don't think there are any accurate sp calculators online right now that show true amount of sp needed

I have found to get pretty close with mmosite's calculator.

Nah trolls usually stick to GD/OTL lol. You can take any build you want although some are just not so smart :P But Wiz/Lock is a fun build, goodluck with it ^^

You forgot to take Earth Shock at Wizard Mastery. If you are short with SP i'd suggest to skip the Fire/Lava Trap. Lightning Shock/Impact isn't that important either, if you are leveling in pts usually. To save some SP you could leave Charged Squall on Lv.1 too. I'd recommend to skill Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning though, as it is another AoE attack, which means, that you will have 4 AoE attacks with Earth Shock/Quake, Meteor, Snow Wind/Blizzard and Chain Lightning allowing you to use AoE spells without break in pts. You could skill down Life Control, when you get Life Turnover and maxing out invisible isn't essential either, i'd rather focus on other skills. Lv.1 Invisible should be nice for getting through Caves though.

For Warlock you should definitely add Dark Blaze (AoE Dot with Burn) and Toxin Invasion (AoE Dot with Poison), as you can get several different Dots on one monster by using AoE-Dots on nearby monsters. Skip Physical Raze/Ravage instead, not really worth getting it, as dmg dealers in pts are usually int. In Soul Pressure line you should definitely get Daze and Wrath Daze for stun. And i'd recommend to get Shadow/Dusk Armor too.

With these skills you should be able to do both Wizard and Warlock in pt. If there are already 2Wizards, you should just go Warlock. If the Pt is lacking dmg, you can go Wizard.
