Here are the statistics, specs, and spellcrafting template of the Warlock Contention. The philosophy behind Contention was to create a Warlock that would illustrait how devistating the class is, while being replicatable by even a casual player - this ment keeping the costs associated with his armaments to a minimum - so no god-like artifact templates or super expensive baubles. I set a budget of ten platinum pieces to spend shopping on the consignment merchants, and scrolls that are farmable by a Warlock.
For artifacts, I chose Naliah's Robes instead of the very popular, (and very pricey), Guard of Valor, a Belt of the Moon instead of Jacina's Sash, a simple Moon Staff instead of Tartaros’ Gift, and and the Stone of Atlantis instead of the Atlantis Tablet. I made sure to avoid the most high end caster equipment, as shelling out 25 platinum pieces, (or more), for a Complete Cloudsong Book would simply not be an option to your typical player.
The remainder of my body armor is masterpiece cloth, which I purchased a piece at a time off the consignment merchants as it became aviable - with the exception of the Steeple Hat - which I had to have commissioned by Serbomb - the steeple hat was the single most expensive part of the suit, but... well... I really wanted a damn steeple hat!
For jewelry, I again relied on consignment merchant purchases - I kept the used (91% Durability) Duskwood Staff of Heavenly Bodies (from my pve suit) for when my Moon Staff was unsummonable, a used (85% Durability), Ring of the Torrent, A Thunder Soothsayers Ring, a used (97% Durability) Cloak of Runic Rapidity, and an Ebonhide Bracer. I then completed the Ancestral Secrets, and the Welcoming a Warrior Quest, which netted me my Beaded Resisting Stones, and a second Ebonhide Bracer.

Combat Status: Fully Buffed
|
|
Contention the Warlock is ALWAYS fully buffed by a 9 Mending, 23 Cave Magic, 48 Augmentation Shaman - click HERE to view her statistics, and HERE to download her Kort's spellcrafting template. In the event the shamen is somehow killed, or suffers a loss in connection, I have a full battery of alchmey baseline buff potions, and charged spec buff magical items which I will use to maintain my combat statistics until such a time as I can re-aquire shamen buffs.
Many will argue passionatly against the use of buff bots, and, it's a debate, (barely civil argument is the proper description), that rages frequently on virtually every forum related to Dark Age of Camelot. Personally, to be horribly blunt, I don't give a shit either way on the morality or lack there of in regards to bots. I look at things in terms of cold, hard facts - which are:
- Most of the people participating in RvR are buffed - either by bots, or group support.
- The majoirty of the high realm rank players are buffed by buff specced bots.
- The overwhelming majority of stealther are buffed by buff specced bots.
- In order to be competative against buffed players, one also must have buffs.
Given the current state of the game, which features the majority of RvR participants buffed in some manner, I find it perfectly acceptable, and reasonable, to base all of my statistics, testing, and baselines on Contention's state while fully buffed. Until such time as the Mythic Developers make changes to the concentration buff system that alters this paradigm, I see no good reason to NOT test in a fully buffed state against fully buffed targets, as this is FAR more represnetative of the reality of RvR and PvP.
