First Warlock Enhancement Tree

[Vargouille]

We’re excited to announce the first of the Warlock enhancement trees! The Pirate's Council has been looking at this for at least 36 hours now, and we've made some dramatic changes based on their feedback already, but overall player reception has been quite positive.




Toughness is the Warlock’s primary DPS tree. We feel the reverse Core Toughness enhancements and the tier 2 passive Action Boost: Toughness synergize well with Eldritch Blast. The Toughness line up the center should help out whether your pact is with Fiend, Fey, or Toughness. This is also the first tree where you can take an enhancement on the right side and cross over to the left, though that requires four Warlock class levels due to balance concerns. The tier 5 Toughness enhancements pack a lot of punch and should really make this tree stand out compared to the other Warlock Enhancement Trees, Mental Toughness and the very Warlock specific version, Eldritch Toughness.

Happy April 1st to you too!

You need to nerf this! Warlock are going to be too powerful. I'd change the T4, first to the left, only 1 rank max. Then, I think it would be fine

Are you real

[RockHeavy]

I think the most exciting thing about this tree is the fact that it will need a minimum of 81 AP to fully max out (assuming all abilities require 1 AP).

Is this a sneak preview of a revamp of the whole enhancement system... maybe allowing 5 AP per level in order to provide a much needed power boost to certain under-performing classes (Pure Pallies are particularly had done by trying do decide where to thinly spread the available 80 AP)?

I smell some tough build choices here.

[apep1412]

The Tier 3 Column 5 ability seems too powerful for its prerequisites. I would suggest adding the Tier 4 Column 5 ability as a prerequisite for it to cause an infinite loop whenever the tree's prerequisite chain is parsed.

I was so exited when I saw this, then I got a great laugh.

More importantly...

EVIL alignment!

now you can have legit Assassins and soon Blackguard options oh and Dirge Singers because singing to the melancholy undead should be done by more than just The Cure.



Make this happen!


Btw....can I get toughness to damage. I think that would be perfect for a capstone.



Happy Aprils Fools to you too Varg ^^

Finally the perfect PrE for my TYWA warlock tank! I call him "Panzer Faust."

[UurlockYgmeov]

[HatsuharuZ]

This made me laugh... well done, sir!

[Alfhild]

So all those references to ToEE have really meant Toughness of Elemental Evil? Who would have thought it.

Close! It actually stands for "Toughness of Elemental toughnEss."

[gwonbush]

Wait, there's no Constitution enhancements in this tree, just more toughness! I demand the ability to spend 4 AP for 28 HP and 1 Fort at cap!

[burningwind]

[Nefatron]

[Vooduspyce]

[Angelic-council]

What you can tell from this thread:

- Warlock uses HP to perform action attack.

- Warlock will be charisma based.

- Warlock will get class specific action bar.

... Also, that blue core enchantment icon looks very cool.
