what quarterstaff are you using?

[AdriaTheRed]

@xtreme0ride Staff of the Petitioner from Abbot raid.

Do you think putting the whole Epic abishia set on a fvs is worth it? i heard that the dc on evocation didn't stack, either way i think if i do put the full set on him, then all I would loose is the rhakir's set.

[AdriaTheRed]

@johnthomas1230 I think full set bonus itself is not worth it if you are focused on spell DPS. If you are to tank or subtank something, it might be worth it as +3 con is a huge benefit for tanks. If you build your toon toward spell DPS, the set bonus does almost nothing (besides +3 con). Bonus of evocation is not to the DC, but to the Caster Level. And, main damage spells you will use (BB, Punish, etc) will cap at lvl 20, so evocation bonus will do nothing.

[AdriaTheRed]

@johnthomas1230 Conjuration DC could be good for Cometfall, but anyway I don't use that spell so often. After all, I would choose Rahkir set over full Epic Abishai set. (with something with Greater Arcane Lore, and combine it with Rahkir to get Major Arcane Lore)

3 pieces (or less) of Epic Abishai set could be still good to wear, because they have uber stats like +7 con or Green Slot.

[johnthomas1230]

Also, for past lives would it help much more with a wizard past life for the spell pen and +1 to dc, and the sorcerer for +1 to evocation? Or is the dc for having a 40 wisdom good enough on it's own.

Thanks In Advance

@johnthomas1230 (continues)

You can use BB with no problem, because BB is reflex based and generally mobs have low reflex saves.

However, any bit of DC and Spell Pen will surely help. So after all it's up to you. If you have enough time to spare, go get 3x Wiz + 3x Sorc pastlife! ;) FvS is not the main instakiller nor main cloud controller anyway, so reliable BB and Implosion (and other spells like Cometfall) with DC from 40 wisdom only (with Heighten, of course) will be enough to play Epics.

GG :D

[AdriaTheRed]

Personally I feel 40 wisdom is just enough for DC. Because our main DPS source is Divine Punishment anyway, which has no save (and no Spell Pen check). My FvS has 2 spell pen feats, making her able to land Implosion and Destruction on mobs with Spell Resistance. But, don't think you can reliably land Destruction on Epic difficulty. You will need more DC to reliably do it. You can still have fun with Implosion, because it makes several tries to kill mobs, making the spell more likely to land.
