How is your Lich slotted?

I'm currently working on an I19 build and, like the title says, I'm looking for inventive slotting alternatives for my Lich. This is the current slotting:

Lysosome
Peroxisome x 2
To Hit Debuff IO
Cloud Senses: Chance for Negative Damage

I realize this is only 5 slots, but I'm at a loss as to what else I could possibly enhance. I have Tactics, so I don't think he needs anymore +Acc. His ToHitDebuff is respectable being nearly in the yellow for ED and with Fluffy, I don't think it would make that much difference anyway. Another Perox would max out his mez and damage (what little there is), but does that justify another slot? None of the other procs available really appeal to me. I'm open to any other ideas.


- The laws of science were, first, God's laws. We didn't make them, we just gave them a name...likely not the name their creator gave them.
- No, no. Humans made them. The same way we made gravity, the atomic bomb, Cheetos, babies, and water.

You could slot him for healing (depending on your secondary) or give him another proc if you wanted to. Maybe one of the pet set procs? If you think he's great as is then I say leave him that way.

Level 26: Lich

  • (A) Accuracy IO
  • (27) Cloud Senses - Chance for Negative Energy Damage
  • (27) Dark Watcher's Despair - To Hit Debuff/Endurance
  • (29) Dark Watcher's Despair - To Hit Debuff
  • (29) Dark Watcher's Despair - To Hit Debuff/Recharge/Endurance
  • (31) Dark Watcher's Despair - To Hit Debuff/Recharge

I tried franken slotting with ACC, -ToHit and Fear then decided on this. Most of his powers (even his fear ) have -ToHit and this config gives me another 5% RCH to add to my global RCH.

My secondary is /Dark, so between my heal and Fluffy's, I think the team is covered in that regard. All the pet auras are loaded into SE and the Soulbound chance for BU is in my GK's. The problem with the damage procs from the heal and KB sets are that they only have a chance to fire when Lich uses Life Drain and Torrent, which is too infrequent to justify an extra slot. I have been pleased with the current slotting, but was wondering if I was overlooking something that could make him even better.

I go with a mix of +damage, acc and tohit debuff and Chance for negative. I think I also put chance for recharge debuff from Dark Watcher but I can't really tell when the proc goes off. Maybe not worth it. Who knows.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

I'd consider adding another Peroxisome if you can spare the slot. The Lich has a fair amount of mez and while his damage is fairly low he does still have two AoE attacks... even low damage AoEs add up faster than you'd think.


Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name
