Warlocks... Can we get a taste of what's to come?

[Uska]

I think it's safe to say we are all excited for a new class. I will enjoy getting the chance to build with warlocks. Hurry up and Lama please!

No I am not excited and actually dread this class coming, I hope to be proved wrong but I doubt it

That's the spirit!

[DrWily]

But will there be Pacts, and if so what Pacts will be implemented?

Kobold agree - not yet another way to Kill Kobold!

[voodoogroves]

Hm. Bets on trees we see.

Hexblade - melee ish
Hellfire Warlock - ranged w/ a fire / profane speciality
Acolyte of the Skin - skill / utility based

When will a Warlock-specific tab in the classes forum be implemented?

Good point. Will do that today!

I wouldnt play unless they can transform into a demon to battle.

I play the druid beast (wolf) builds because shape changing is fun and looks cool as hell , except of course for the horrid TF item effects making me look like im rolling in a ball of smoke (horrible coding, really really horrible).

I know that might not be important to more people, but I like being able to run around with a skin different than 90% of the others playing with me - its just more fun.

Sev can we get at least a teaser on what is coming with the warlock class?

1. Will there be alignment restrictions?

2. Will they get charisma bonus to saves?

3. Will Eldritch blast also function for Melee as Eldritch strike?

4. Can they shape change into demons?



Anything else you can share would be great! But I would love to hear those 4 answered.

i'm assuming we will see amrath soon and if warlocks made it into it or not. since they were planning on a june release which it next month. so soon.

Another kobold agrees... unless we get kobold iconic... then maybe...

[Paleus]

Kobold agree with other Kobold Union Members. Forget alignment restrictions, release Kobold Iconics and make Warlocks be Kobold only. Then we'll see if adventurers step in Waterworks ever again.

I'm guessing with how the other magic classes work, that the Warlock is going to be the less versatile but more powerful counterpart of the druid, so 6 forms, two tanky, two for DPS, and two for magic, and a different spell set that's more fitting of a Warlock.

Umm... sorry, but that's not at all correct. Warlocks in PnP did have the ability to shapeshift, but the forms they had were fiendish ones. Search Engines are your friends.

I never said that they would be the same as the druid, just that I'm guessing they're going to have 6 forms. From the one post that a dev said when making a joke enhancement tree, one tree is going to be fiend based while another is fey based. I'm guessing that the two tanky forms are going to be fiend based, the two DPS forms are going to be fey based, one magic form is going to be fiend based that is either made for DPS, and the other magic form is going to be fey based but more support.
