Most definitely not this year, currently we are getting e3bc with shawsbuckler prestige.
Then some new frealms content, and later some "balancing" and lv 30 cap increase.
In producers letter, there was nothing about new class, but was pointed out we might get new iconics in "future".

Burningwind, every time I see your name I literally think of hot farts. I'm sorry, I had to get that off my chest.

I hope not. We dont need them We already have a class with (near) infinite spells, its called Sorcerer. Dev time can be used better.

[Grimlock]

No new classes on the horizon. Maybe next year. They do not like the idea of a Psionic class added to the game and with a multitude of melee/caster/specialist choices available I would doubt they will introduce anything new.

I know that players have spoken (okay more like shouted) about this class but I don't recall ever seeing a dev comment that this was even on the horizon.

Personally I'd rather see Psychic Warrior or Soulknife (psionics) get added in before another nuking spontaneous caster.

Why do you want burningwind on your chest? :D

Yeah, I think warlocks won't be in game until at least mid 2015 if they plan on bringing them out at all.

I would say just as many have SCREAMED that they don't want warlock as have asked for it to be added. and yes soulknife would be nice

[waryJerry]

Have any of the devs even hinted that warlocks were in the works ever?

I think one said they discussed them but not that were seriously considering them

i don't care too much about infinite spells.. mostly it is range touch attack~~~ also the shapeshifting helps too.. shapeshift into demons would be nice.. would par with druid.. if they do it right....that is..

p.s. imo druid is poorly done.. really really disappointed~~

Actually I have been curious about what the name is in reference to.

I don't think it would be a ranged touch here and I don't recall base warlocks shapeshifting in 3.5 but then I never allowed them when I ran or bought the book they were in

[Nestroy]

I would love to see a new race first, before they introduce Warlocks. Gnome anybody?

Edit: It´s easier too... Just copy Halfling, reskin the thingie, fiddle a little bit with the racial boni and look thru the enhancement trees where you may steal (ahem, code reuse *cough*) something nice and usefull as racial enhancements. Make Arty, Wiz, Bard preferred classes, and here you go.

TBH while i think gnomes would be nice, i think it far more likely that if they do any new race it'll be in the form of a new iconic, maybe Duregar since that would just be a variant of dwarf (in the same way as bladeforged/warforged, sun ef/elf, PDK/human) so would require the least work while allowing for its own flavour.

heh, duergar would be cool choice - for the high innate SR and paralysis/illusion imunity, tho i m not much fun of making evil races playable.

i d like much more having planar offsprings like tiefling, aasimars or genasi added. or ability to reincarnate to some cool template race like halfdragon or half fiend as some kind of earnable reward (favor, 20th completion special reward, whatever)

well it isn't shapeshifting.. they are rather spells~~ all arcane caster should have access to these spell.. unfortunately turbine did not implement any of them.. i was hoping... well...

I'm not a fan of warlock, but given the way the game is organized it might be interesting to have an arcane casting class that CANNOT be multied with Paladin or Monk (they must be evil or chaotic so in this game that means Chaotic), and has NO spell points--they are 100% cooldown-based for the eldritch blasts and their invocations would all be either modal abilities or action boost type abilities. So there's some potential interest there. I don't really care about new classes--there are plenty--although new iconics might be fun.

I always imagined that the DDO version of the Warlock would use something similar to a ki bar for it's spells. However, this resource would constantly regenerate. Warlock: The anti-Monk!

Currently, some of the most powerful builds use monk and/or paladin splashes, which means being lawful/lawful good. Any build involving a warlock would by necessity not have either of those classes involved. It would bring a lot more build variety to the game.

Eberron is far more flexible with alignments.. there are good beholders :) I'd like to see a couple more of these mix-ups actually.. maybe an evil gold dragon :D
