Warlocks test insanely crazy.

Indeed. First woe as warkock was quite fun.

not sure if this would help u in your way towards 150 but I did get Radius and CL first before anything else, then reading spellbook/release. Safety Wall is your bff. God luck.

And please do ignore all the people feeling superior and being condescending to people who have issues with the quest

that seems to be a good portion of the people posting on the forums here. they talk as if theyre infallible, never die, execute every move they make with prethought out methodically calculated intentions, solo all content in the game, and that nothing ever surprises them. of course 99% of them are full of crap

Lies, we are perfection

well, i would like to add some thing from the noob gear perspective, since i did passed my WL on using some eden gears and a borrowed rudolf (you can change this to mastela fruit/aloe leaflet if you didnt have that one)

Sure did, the quest for finding the Glittering Crystal and Giant Bradium Fragment is the 2nd hardest thing to do bfore the battle room quest. I did this with Frost Nova 10, and Vertical FireWall technique. Now, our class should always learn this VFW skills since its the best thing we can learn as non 3rd class yet. While equipping both accessories, with no protection againts spell interuption, i used FN to quickly freeze the monster, esp Naga and Golem. Run away or tele if you been chased by the bees, and move as far as you can from pinguicula. Multi spam of FN will not dmg the frozen monsters, so the frozen status will not break. MA + JT 10 to the target and quickly cast SG1 in front of you so that when it came back, it will get freeze again. now, repeat the cycle till it dead. NEVER TOOK ANYTHING DROPPED FROM THAT MONSTERS UNLESS THOSE TWO QUEST ITEMS or else you can never get the quest item until you drop back the other thing that you picked up from the quest monster. This is quest bug.

OK, battle room. when spawned in, 1st thing i did was run across the screen to left side corner where Aqua and the mobs need to chase me. Depending on your cast speed, cast sg1 in near yourself right away when u reached there. MA + CL scroll the frozen mobs, and move to below corner or other corner and sg1 on urself again, and repeat the MA + CL scroll again. Now, if you did that quickly, all you need is MA + JT10 to finish the rest of frozen monsters.

Other tactics is to just spam FN until all the mobs but Aqua frozen. i dont remember if Aqua can be frozen by FN or not. When you did that, just CL scroll the rest. Yeah, it can be real quick to die but that is what challenging about that. I dont use phen clip since i need much cast speed as i can. And dont forget to pot up too. Naga are earth, same with Golem, so if you manage to pull CR scroll on them, then you could see nice dmg racks up very fast.

This was quite doable with minimal gears and i believe you can do the same too ^^

i see that no one ever max recognize spells in those skill simulators. is there no point in maxing it? also what do you guys think of this as an end build warlock?
http://irowiki.org/~...aFqnaOeBqorAIn1

sry if my post is off topic..

no point to max it cuz the effect is the same from recog spell 1 to 5. what differs is the duration of the buff, which kinda pointless since you need to waste 4 skill point to get longer buff, rather than just reuse it again when the buff ends after 1min (lvl1 recog spell)

There are 2 common skill build for warlock (comet and tetra vortex build)
regarding your suggested skill, its a big no (from my point)
1. we dont have intense telekinesis yet (so, u have free 5 skill points)
2. recog spell 1 only
3. no need for freezing spell if you didnt want to take Comet5 skill. its pointless to have since you already can store any magic skill even Tetra Vortex with none skill point in it. If you gonna take Comet5, spend 2 or 4 skill point in it. Thats the limit of skill points you gonna put into this skill.
4. If you did take CR5, im gonna suggest you go Comet5 route, since im pretty sure you are leveling to 150 now. CR5 for small mobs in TI/other party, and Comet5 for big aoe dmg stack
5. Jack Frost is quite nerfed in renewal. Stick to SG10 or FNova10. This is not needed if you not going to Tetra Vortex build
6. If you didnt take any Marsh of Abyss or Sienna, Quagmire seems a better option too. You gonna need it for mobbing and later for WOE
7. Ganbantein is quite essential if you gonna WOE later
8. SG1 or SG10. Dont bother to take in the middle, you gonna stuck with having less dmg n slower cast
9. Safety Wall is your best friend. True story.

Tetra WOE build (suggestion)
http://irowiki.org/~...SaFrsqBebdB1In1

Tetra MVP build (suggestion)
http://irowiki.org/~...FaFqSqBeodn1In1

Comet WOE build (suggestion)
http://irowiki.org/~...qnrFaOebeonaIn1

Comet PVM build (suggestion)
http://irowiki.org/~...qnrFaOeodonaIn1

According to your preferences, you can tweak a lot in these skill build to suit your playstyle. Everyone's build is different depending on their playstyle, stats, and their equips, but these are the basis of every build that I could think of. I will not tell out much. Suit it to your need, ok ^^

Hmm, i'm not 150 yet, i'm only in the process of being a warlock. high wiz atm.

i just wanna plan it out so that i dont waste my free reset.

my guild only does ET so it would be great if i can help on that. we dont woe so i didnt go for gravitation field. i didnt know telekinisis isnt implemented yet...

can i still go comet route for MVP build or would tetra be better? or have both skills, i'm not sure.

http://irowiki.org/~...FaFqSqBebdo1In1

here's the edited version.

if you take comet build, what i would suggest is to use CL5 to kill mvp under strings. thing is, comet uses damn lot of sp, and its not quite spammable as CL5. and, wl cant mvp a lot of them, since MDEF stack is quite high for mvps..your best bet, SW on yourself, and cast CL5 repeatedly. If theres mob, just release comet on them to wipe them, n repeat the cycle.

WL is not a good mvper class btw...

Edited by Nero89, 09 March 2013 - 05:34 PM.

well its not for MVP specifically but it is for ET for sure. i'm hoping to be useful in the higher up floors so whichever is the best way to approach that is better.

i'm thinking going tetra vortex type afterall.. but it seems like alot of work before i can get tetra.

@Nero: Some Warlocks use neither and become full disablers/support.

Warlocks' damage have been indirectly nerfed due to WoE sets and going pure damage won't cut it anymore unless you got Mystic Amp scrolls, kvm +12 or higher and buffed to hell in MATK.

ahh, the neither build ones, yes. but the OP wants a final build, so lets just stick to those 2 builds yep? ^^
since you are going to ET, just plain comet build is enough. CL under string for mvp and release comet/Earth Strain for clearing floors. yours can do much on Evil Snake Lord, prolly since its a ghost4 element and cannot be hit by those bombs of geneti, and also on ECrothen level with CL/comet.

@Ceru: Indeed, there's only one way to achieve that high damage with regular gears and w/o amp scrolls and it is not that easy to achieve... in other hand, thanks to the introduction of new gear, we have the ability to compensate damage lost with other skills.

@Nero: I like your skill trees... but I would like to say that you need Radius 3 for ALL your builds... is a must, specially on TV since its a sniper-like skill... it can follow you and hit you even outside screen thanks to it.

Also, drop ES since most people use fcp in WoE, so better off getting max Sienna and WI/Marsh.

Stasis is getting nerf (>_<) so there's not much point on Max'in it plus is kinda a coward skill lol.

damn i like stasis!

I don't lol

I really need major help with the battle test. So far, I've used up about 1000 whites (about 100 each try) and only got to clear the first wave. The closest I got was two monsters left on the second wave. The problem is I'm running out of potions when I get to the second wave. The other problem I have are the aquas. They hit painfully fast and by the time I've CLed them, I've used up about half of my potions. Oh, and I think there's a bug with the rubies since I'm apparently using them up without actually having hit the monsters. Grrr.... My tactic is like what other people have been saying. SG1 first and then run to the corner to CL the aquas. Besides the other problems I've mentioned, another is I can't run to the corner since the aquas are constantly hitting me. So I just CL where they are causing it to chain to the nearby golem, and it just spirals down from there. I'm gonna run out of money soon before I can even become a Warlock. I would do anything to pass this test. I'm BEGGING for someone to help me or for a miracle to happen!!! ;_; D: T.T

Hm.. you shouldnt have to use that many whites... are you using safety wall? quagmire and fortune sword+vmant helps alot to prolong the sw... u can switch to staff once theyre frozen. If you're flinching from the aquas you can try using an anodyne.

LoL I had 1K ygg seeds easiest test evar

Try using speed pots..it works very good..it doesn't last very long, so you might have to got the corner as soon as you consume the potion.

In addition to what jsquishy said, temember to use things like HP increase potions as well. If you have issues because CL is bouncing around, use level varying levels of JT (depending on how fast your cast is) intead to manage the number of mobs in close proximity.

You could probably give 1k seeds to anyone doing the quest and it'd just make it harder for them.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll try to Safety Wall at the very beginning and then SG1. MA+CL the aquas and that'll hopefully kill them. I just hope that they'll be killed instantly and that I won't run out of posts. From there I will just MA+CR the frozen mobs and that'll at least get me through the first wave. I will try again after I get back home.

I think I brought 250 slims and left with like 200. Hurr.

Also remember that you can have multiple safety walls up so you can walk between them during your cast cooldowns.

And if you dont have a phen GG

walked in with 100 or so seeds came out with 10 never got why ppl thought it was hard.

I saw someone - to great hilarity - try to do it stocked up with ygg seeds, without realizing they had delays.
