Warlock Update Done & Free to VIP's
They actually finished the upadate on time. What they've broken, well, we'll find out soon. The new Warlock class is free to VIP's, and based on the discussions in some of the pugs the last few days, the preferred build is going to be some kind of bard/warlock build using the warlock fey pact (sonic based). However, as of now, most folks who are in game have gone pure for now. But the power players are mostly not on yet.
FYI, when I tried it on Lamannia, there was only one path availalbe, fiend pact (fire based). If you want one of the other pacts, you must go custom at level 1 and choose a different pact, or you are locked in.
Also, when I tried it, perform was not a class skill, even though fey is sonic based.
And, Corwin, you underestimated some of the players: It's been out for maybe 4 hours now, and there are already 2 warlocks showing at level 28. Probably stoned their way through all the levels.
