Neverwinter Trailer showcases upcoming Scourge Warlock class
Neverwinter is poised to receive its second new class in the upcoming expansion module "Tyranny of Dragons" set to drop on August 14th. Dubbed the Scourge Warlock, Neverwinter's new class can serve as a dedicated support or main damage dealer through the use of powerful curses and controllable soul puppets. The new gameplay trailer shown above highlights a few of the Warlock's special traits while also giving players a small glimpse at some of Tyranny of Dragons upcoming boss fights.
While the Cleric may heal their party members through the use of holy light, the Scourge Warlock prefers to take a more unorthodox approach. Through the use of their Temptation feat tree, Warlock players may bind their enemies souls with their souls of their allies, creating a link by which they may literally suck the life out in order to heal allies in battle. Auras and curses leave enemies weakened while allies benefit from their bolstering effects.
A more detailed dev blog for the Scourge Warlock is also available and there's talks inside of a Hellbringer paragon path for the class which among other things opens the gates to the Nine Hells, a plane of absolute evil from which the Warlock may summon the demons within. Sounds like a nifty party trick.

This game could've been done so much better. It could've been better if they designed it with a hybrid setup like Champions with F2P and subscribers. Why? Because with a hybrid setup, you're forced to consider balance issues lest your community plummets. You're forced to sit back and evaluate implementation of new features in regards to how it effects all tiers of players. It makes the devs think more.
When you get something like Neverwinter's system + everyone being F2P with no subscriber tier, the devs get away with not giving two $hit$. Less thought. Shiny new class covers up bleeding wound that is class imbalance, shoddy PVP and gigantic emphasis on cash shop for every aspect of the game.
At least in champions you couldn't buy actual gear with money; it was completely freaking cosmetic. Skins for travel and little addons and pets that did nothing except look cool. They didn't let you buy combat gear with questionite!
Cryptic..you used to be cool..or at least better than this. PWE tainted you bad.
Ps: Please forgive me for my retarded english, it is soo good that it will even cause me cancer :P
They still have unbalancing issues since close beta like the great weapon fighter is underpowered and the trickster rogue is overpowered...
