Warlock Class (alpha)

#1 Post by Alexhander »

Hi, this is my first mod and i'm Alexhander from Italy.
i tried to recreate the feeling about a class who loved in the past the Warlock from World of Warcraft

Primari Features:

Tri-Spec, you will chose between a Destruction (fast cast, hard hitting, direct damage spells), Affliction (dot, dot
and more dot) or Demonology (pets and stuffs) or going for the Jack-all-trade spec...

You have (unlocked by talents) 3 resources (excluded mana), Soulstones (powering demonology), Emberstones (powering
destruction spells) and Demonic Fury (powering Demonic Form and related spells).

The number of the skills is comparable to an Archmage so you need specialization to survive longer.

The Warlock:

Warlocks are masters of the demonic arts. Clothed in cloth, they excel in using curses, firing bolts of fire or shadow, and summoning demons to help them in combat. Warlocks, while being excellent spell casters, also excel in providing quirky buffs and utility.

A warlock has very powerful abilities that, if used correctly, make them a very formidable opponent. Using their curses in combination with direct damage spells and fears, Warlocks wreak havoc and destruction.

The class is in an alpha stage but is playable.

i'm not so good to draw icons, so i take these in varius websites, maybe i need a little help to create originals icons for this class.

Things to do:

Temporary demons
Damage balance
General balance
Quests specific for the class
Bugfixes

So i need your help to advance the project in beta stage :)
Have fun...

Some obvious talent changes, from an old Warlock player:

- Drain Mana is too limiting what with the relatively few number of mana using mobs. I'd probably change this to Seed of Corruption. Take a look at my Reaver Tweaks addon and the Corrosive Worm spell within, as that works in a vaguely similar manner to SoC and would fit Affliction well. Or Haunt.
- No Conflagrate? That'd fit well as a replacement for Searing Pain which even in WoW was a little dull
- Rather than each demon being its own talent, merge them into one like Thought Forms. So 1-5 unlocks each of the basic types. Then the rest of the tree can be things like Soul Link etc.

Actually I might draw up a design doc for this.

Drain mana, strangely, works on every mobs, every enemy, indeed, have mana or, at least, the enemies on whom i tested the drain mana spell, maybe i need more testing :)
Conflagrate is in the second (unlockable) tree of destruction, same for seed of corruption (advanced affliction tree)..
Right on demons, i have coded these first of all, and don't knew well the system, all the pet's skills and free talents are unlockable buying higher level of the demon's talents, my fault; the tooltips are low on priority :P

Threw together some icons super quick for the first class three trees, as a way to procrastinate doing more important things (like study).

Also, quick editing spree on the skill descriptions:
Drain Soul: ...if the target dies while being drained, the caster createss...
Summon Imp: Summons an Imp under the command of the Warlock.[/spoiler] ... at Talent level 2, the imp forges a Bloodpact, increasing your life by X%. [LINE BREAK] At Talent level 3, the imp teaches you how to cauterize your wounds [EFFECT EXPLANATION HERE]...
Summoning in General: Following the Summoner, the better explanation is probably Their Strength, Dexterity, and Magic will increase with your Mindpower.
Conflagrate: Instantly light an enemy on fire... If the target is already Burning, it will be...and the burning will be extended for five additional turns.
Shadowburn: What happens if they're not under 20% life?
Agony: (X a turn)
Haunt: Same thing.
Hand of Gul'Dan: ...in a radius 2 ball. Additionally, the hand continues to crush...
Demon Skin: Warlocks only have one kind of armor spell, don't they?
