Warlock Expansion Spell Ideas, post yours!

[Senlath]

<DIV>The purpose of this post is to tell the development team what kind of spells you would like to see for warlocks 50-60.  Have fun with this, but please post details of what the spell does and why you would think it would make a good addition to our class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>From me:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>AoE poison/disease debuff:  We have a real nice aoe dot at level 50, but we can not debuff groups before casting it.  It would be really great if we had a poison/disease aoe debuff spell, similar to the chilling wind that wizards now enjoy, to take better advantage of our aoe dot.</DIV>

A higher level upgrade to Nil Distortion.  It won't be fun to still be using a level 37 nuke at level 60, especially if they no longer scale with level.  Even if they fix Soul Flay, we will be in dire need for one or two more DD nukes.

[Tanatus]

Gmm I'd say LifeTap Nuke and ManaTap Nuke

[DresdenMalicaster]

Seems that upgrades are on a 14-level interval. 23 for Dark Distortion, 37 for Nil Distortion..... 51 for ____ Distotion. One can only hope. <div></div>

<DIV>Nil Absolution "debuffs" nox mitigation. Its technically wrong to say you are "debuffing" something because they aren't buffed in the first place. The only mob ingame that gets buffed is AL Udalan by his archmage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would like to see some buffs spells that add more solid PR. And ofcourse the usual dmg spells. As far as fluff spells are concerned...I would like to have some sort of an aura type spell also...maybe a black aura or something. The frog and bat crap are just crap...even though Noah likes to be a bat...but I still don't like them.</DIV>

[Korpo]

I totally agree on the fun spell thing, having a stupid bat follow you around is lame. The wizard ones are pretty cool, as is the flaming level 50 zerker. In fact, the defiler ability that makes them  look like purple fog is pretty nice as well. Any of those would be nice to have. <div></div>

[Panad]

Yeah, definitly <2 that aura thing, toad is just dumb, both transformation and pet, bat is a bit better, haven't gotten the raven yet, guess/hope he'll finally be cool. Right, the defilers already got that nice spell, but they become that shadow fog, I'd like to have this dark fog as an aura, like the wizzies, like you said, maybe with occasional glints of violet and green if they wanna keep the Warlock colors, but definitely something black. Lots of our spells have such a dark fog, why not the fun spells? I may even try to run around with some kind of green disease aura, with those green boils, I'm a warlock, I should be running around like near puking all the time. <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><span>:smileywink:</span> <div></div>

[yzyh]

<DIV>just ive us more illusion spels.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I want to be a werewolf like my EQ1 Bard were :-p</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Beeing a rats seems fun. But I don't wanna get trapped into a mouse trap.</DIV>

[SilentSam]

<P>Aye, more fun spells would be good.  We can already make mobs turn green with boyles and make them puke...why not my team-mates?!?  :smileywink:   What a fun punishment that would be:  make him turn green...puke...then turn him into a toad.  Ahhhhh the power.  :smileyvery-happy:</P> <P><BR>Now my other suggestion is not a spell suggestion for just warlocks...this should be a spell that ALL mage classes get at some point or another.  We should get some form of a "Power Shield" spell for emergency situations.  Basically I am thinking of a spell that goes something like this:</P> <P>Power Shield<BR>  - one second cast timer   but recast like 10 mins<BR>  - roots caster and cannot cast other spells while using it<BR>  - impervious to attack until power runs out or cancelled by the caster<BR>  - either uses like 100 power per tick OR something like power absorbs the damage done  (ie. mob hits you for 500...that takes away 500 power from you)<BR><BR>This would give mage classes an emergency spell to use when a named ^^ or 'Raid Mob XXX' goes aggro on you and is gonna 1 or 2 shot kill you.  Obviously it wouldnt do anything for soloing and wouldnt imbalance a fight, especially since it'll smoke your power pool and basically make you ineffective.  BUT it will at least give mages a chance to survive for a little bit when you pull aggro in a group fight.</P>

[Latnam]

Wouldn't know what to name it, what about a spell that when it lands on target mob the graphic is the mobs skin melting/burning away.  Of course it would have to be a DoT.

I suspect threads such as this may be actually reviewed by SOE to see what each class feels they need.
