Hiya guys!
I am looking to create a Warlock type class in this game!
What I want are the following that allow me to be an amazing PvP SOLOER!
1) Good strong RANGED dps
2) Tons of Mobility with CCs, fears, stuns etc
3) Long to Insta cast times, like DoTs
So I would LOVE to make a class like a Warlock if possible good for soloing in PvP! I really need your help because I am a noob!
Thank you so much for your time! If possible, can you please use you calculator or just give me good ideas for my power, weapon, and travel form! Thank you so much guys!

I would say the class that matches what you are looking for the most is a Fire with Hand Blaster.
Some DOT''s, probably one of the highest DPS and Ranged.
But this is based mostly on PvE since I dont PvP much, but of all the classes Ive made , so far this is my top DPS, of course 30000 different people will probably give you 30000 different opinions.
Awesome thanks! So it has low cast times and HIGH dps too? Hows it CC?
the class u are loooking for is not in this game. CC sux because anyone can get out of it with block. I think ur looking for a game like Rift.
WEll your speed from Hand blasting is pretty much instant, its all a seriies of mouse clicks for different combos for all weapon types.
Your Spcials, which require power, are mostly instant cast as well, mass detnonation is probably the longest to cast, but usually cast as an opener out of combat.
Power depletes fast, and it gets replenished much much quicker when using your hand blasting abitlites.
So in Combat power regens quick
Out of combat health regens quick
AS far as CC's almost every class gets them, but after 2 CC's in a certain time frame, you are then immune to stuns ect.....
Edit: Maybe Rift is more what he might enjoy, but having said that it really dosnt pertain to the question since hes not asking about rift.
How about the Mental Power and Sorcery?
Mental as been known to be decent DPS, but it is a litte more geared to be a controller class in groups.
But I have seen a lot of times mental being top DPS in groups as well. As for myself I cant seem to quite get the DPS out of my mental toon as my fire toon, but then again this is probably due to the fact I am not playing this class nearly as well as I play my fire toon. But when played in the controller role, MEntal does have great CC such as polymorph.
As far as I can tell , Sorcery and Nature are not top DPS classes , very pro healing classes.
Frost seems to be ok DPS, but it is supposed to be the Tank class. Frost does have some pretty good CC as well by encasing people in ice cubes ect.. But no DOT's really. But since every class has certain "crowd control" abilites, it is a combo of putting a CC type ability followed by certain specials that maximize your DPS.
A lot of skills will say things like "When mob is frozen 60% DPS boost with this skill" ( made up example but you get the picture)
Fire DPS + Dual Wield Pistols is the best DPS class with lowest cast time you think?
Any other ideas?
Try the game and see what you want to play. It's not just click 3 buttons then chill like WoW, it's much different. What you're specifically looking for is not in the game. Just try it and see, you may find that you like a different play style than what you played in WoW.
Great thanks! What build is the overall best ranged dps then?
Like Maddi said.
Fire and dual pistols is what I have and it's great. You level pretty quick on your own which is what I've done. In just a few days I got to level 21 and the best thing is you can heal yourself while being a tank which helps you save a lot of cash since you don't really need to buy those terribly expensive heals from the vendors.
Few things, for one, I play a nature character and often top the damage charts. Then I can switch to a healer and top the healing charts. I find nature to be one of the best balanced power sets. Summoning in Sorcery is underpowered because most of the pets don't work properly.
Mental is very strong, and if you are looking for crowd control and DPS that is a fantastic build as they have some stronger crowd control abilities and seem more like a "warlock" class. Gadgets seems to me to be based more around defensive control, like the stealth abilities, the mines, and boxes. Both have a good ability to regen power for your group and controllers are some of the most sought after.
Mental also has some good defensive abilities which will help keep you alive a bit, and is meant to be played more at range, while fire has a lot of ranged abilities, most fire users prefer the close range DPS and regenerative abilities to stay alive.
I would try both and see which one meshes with the playstyle you're looking for more.
If you want DoTs then go Fire as your powerset. Mental has a Fear ability, but it is really just a stun. Also, just like every other CC in this game anyone can break out of it in less than 2 seconds. Just imagine that your trinket in WoW has no cooldown.
For ranged Handblasters, Dual Pistols, Bow, or Rifle. It just depends on which is more your style. Your ability to block, interrupt, and use combos will determine the outcomes of battles more than which one of those you pick.
However, as others have stated this will play nothing like a WoW warlock. You cannot dot someone and run away while they die.
1)Most powersets can do about equal damage from range, its just a matter of picking range oriented powers from those trees.
2)If you want CC, then you will want to be a controller. Just realize CC isn't super effective in this game. It breaks really easy and its hard to land before you get tons of dominance on your gear. I'm only now getting to the point where I can CC stuff in Hard Alerts effectively, and I've been at 30 for about a week. You other functions as a controller include debuffing and power regeneration for your group.
3)Most powers are instant cast. The limiting factor is generally your powerpool. Not to say there aren't powers that have castbars, but they are fairly rare. There isn't really a DoT class... maybe Fire, but its not to the extent your thinking of with a Warlock.
Something like Rifle/DualPistol/Bow w/ Gadgets/Mental and the travel form you find most entertaining. I'd personally recommend Rifles/Gadgets/Flight .
