I had a bit of a play with a Warlock Charger. Still room for improvement, but I am getting some nice numbers... The key trick is using polearm momentum to knock prone, which, combined with Kulkor Arms Master, gives a second Eldritch Strike as a free action. The build can charge every turn thanks to Ethereal Sidestep and Eladrin chain giving at-will teleport 4. The build relies upon isolating enemies in order to take advantage of prime punisher and called shot, so make sure your party knows about that.

slight nit pick, you forgot to select a paragon path for your level 12 summary.

Tis acadamy master, Arcane underpinning is used in the dpr calc.

No offense taken on the nit pick..thanks for the catch..I updated the build.

I'm trying to calculate DPR for a warlock build that uses Destiny Inversion, Hellish Rebuke, and the new tiefling Lost Soul paragon path. For that damage the level 11 feature adds, would it be safe to base the incoming damage you would take based off the new updated DM tables (post July Update)?

For instance, Example one would be Warlock@Lvl12 has At Will DPR of 42 (random example number), increasing to 52.25 upon being damaged in combat? The table indicates a solo target would take on average 3D6+10, giving a 10.25 DPR increase after Destiny Inversion changes that one hit into ongoing damage.

Is there a better way to differentiate damage generated from the Infernal Retribution class feature, or a better way to calculate it?
