*** WARNING: Very rough ideia i would like to bring for discussion ***
Im not the most experienced warlock out there, nor the oldest PnP player, however let me give you my two cents
Soul Eater - CC, Evil Focused
Tainted Scholar - Damage Focused
ES/Acolyte - Defensive, Suport
As i sayed on the lamannia acolyte topic, imo Soul Eater and Tainted Scholar seem like one very OP tree someone had to split into two not to upset the DM. I propose focusing the tree on their thematics. For instance, without implementing anything new we can do just this by shuffling things around.
Soul Eater things that would belong into scholar:
- Eldritch Seeker
- Hungry for Destruction
- Eldritch Wave
- Spell Tearing
Scholar things that would belong into Soul Eater:
- Feigned Health
- Utterdark Blast
- Stunning Blast
- Faltering Blast
- Confusion/Bewitching Blast/Mass Confusion
- Enervating Shadow
I Bring this discussion cuz acolyte is getting "some" offensive BLAST stuff(Emphasis on the blast centered part), and while i do agree every tree should have potential to kill stuff, warlock feels all over the place right now aside from ES. Some classes have a "suport" tree, like deepwoodstalker, a secondary elemental savant, Renegade Mastermaker, but which one is ours? Scholar or Soul Eater? cuz as far as i know we doing 41 in one tree and T5 on another.
