Looking for warlock info

    Does anyone know of a site that is giving more information about what exactly the warlock class entails? The manual is very vague as well as the information. I know the company line they have been saying " Warlocks spread disease and weaken their enemies with poisons." This sounds great and all, but I am looking for more detailed class information (such as a guide). Do warlocks get a pet? What type of spells can I look forward to? Could I ever solo? Am I a real value to a group or would they prefer a wizard? Do they get any buff/debuff spells? Basically I have a million questions. I am at level 11 approaching 12 very fast and I'm not sure which direction to go. Any information or links would be greatly appreciated! I hope that Sony will get us a guide QUICK!

    What does Kraylith's Curse of the Toad really do anyway? It supposedly turns the enemy into a toad. Fine. Does it last 10 seconds or something? Does it remove the foe from the encounter? Does it just become an even-level foe with no special powers? Why do I care about this spell? How does it work EXACTLY. Anybody know?

    Also, maybe this could be the thread for "What is the real deal with Warlocks anyway?"

    I mean, I want to be a Warlock for RP reasons but I'd like to see some beta testers or newly-achieved production Warlocks chime in with not just spell lists but some real descriptions of how they use their powers. What's up with the Toad? Do you still have to rely on your Sorcerer blasts much, and for how long? How much base damage does Negative Absolution do? How do you generally open fights? Which spells are lackluster and which rock the house? What tactics have you discovered?

    If you've done it, tell us!

    This is one of the "fluff" spells that was added to further define each class. It's a fun spell, so it doesn't help much when fighting enemies, but it used to be able to be cast on other players.
  6. ARCHIVED-UnicyclePeon Guest

    Furri,

    If it "used" to work on other players, and doesn't work on enemies, what does it do? Nothing?

    Uni-P
  7. ARCHIVED-furri Guest

    I didn't say it didn't work on enemies, I just said it doesn't help when fighting them. Also, I said "used" to work on other players, because it did in beta, but I'm still a level off from being able to say for sure if it still works on other players. It simply turns your target into a toad, doesn't effect stats or anything, just appearance.
  8. ARCHIVED-UnicyclePeon Guest

    Ah ok so its a visual thing only. Cool. Thanks! I wonder .. if it works on foes, does it cause aggro, since it is visual only?

  9. ARCHIVED-Azaar Guest

    hehe now i get it... those yucky frogloks wandering about are no race to be unlocked... they are just poor beings that stood in the way of a warlock :p

    level 39 curse of emptiness gives nil crystal, so i would quess level 25 curse of darkness does the same , but it's just missing for some reason. If someone can verify this ingame or somehow, bug report it if we are not able to create nil crystal before level 32.
  13. ARCHIVED-Vreck Guest

    Lvl 27 spell, Steal Breath, at least grants a Nil Crystal. Wasn't on my list.
  14. ARCHIVED-Gurik Guest

    yeah. curse of darkness gives crystal.. just got it yesterday
  15. ARCHIVED-Siltae Guest

    Just hit 25 yesterday and scribed Adept I of this. Love the graphic of this spell. This plus Adept 3 Dark Distortion is a nice combo. :smileyvery-happy:
  16. ARCHIVED-Rashan Guest

    It's funny looking when you cast curse of darkness on a giant. Let's just say the snake is QUITE huge! :smileyvery-happy:
