[QUOTE="FrozenChrono, post: 4329930, member: 70738"] A Wizlock is definantly a doable build, picking a few powers to add a bit more direct damage would be great in boss fights. A tiefling would probably be best for this as far as stat synergy goes but depending on what pact you're interested in and how deep you want to go a lot of things would work. Here's a few options Tiefling pump int and cha to at least 16 each (or 18/14 if you prefer) and let your +2's make them 18's. Go Feypact, the ability may not be great for damage but it's cha based which is great for this build. Grabbing the Hellfire blood feat and fire based lock powers would be complementary and would mitigate an 18/14 starting build. Unfortunanly many of the lock PP abilities are based on curses, which you can't get through multiclassing so going lock or taking one of the wizard PP's is probably the way to go. Another interesting build would be con/int based. You could go half elf, dwarf, eladrin, or human for the stat synergy, or you could go dragonborn since their racials key off of con so much. These builds would give you a bit more direct damage with the encounter at will power, and if you go half-elf you can pick up eltrich blast or the other con based pact power too. Once you figure out a race the build will become a little more clear. [/QUOTE]
