[QUOTE="WOLead, post: 5507357, member: 65571"] Ah, the reason why I like playing a human Warlock. When I hit level 11, I'll have a vs. AC, vs. Fort, vs. Ref, and a vs. Will at-will powers to always target the lowest defense if/when needed. Eldritch Strike(AC), Hand of Blight(Fort), and Eldritch Blast(Ref) for either Cha or Con, then either Eyebite(Will) or Eye of Vestige for Cha or Con respectively. Eldritch Blast is also easily swappable to either Gift of Avernus or Hellish Rebuke as alternative vs. Ref powers. Pre-11, I'm usually just either missing vs. Fort or vs. Will. Personal experience, I've found that vs. Fort powers are the worst off for any implement power. You'll be surprised just how MANY things have a good fort defense, no matter their role. With monster stats influence their NADs and it being RARE that a monster has low Strength and Constitution, then their Fort Defense is almost always painful to try to hit as an implement user. Low Fort is always seems to me to be a rare exception when comparing defenses, never an example. Especially in the common monsters/foes DMs like to throw around. [/QUOTE]
