Hi Cryptic and Neverwinter players,
I want to ask you if will be Warlock class avaible in Neverwinter. I really need to know it, because my main is Rogue, and I need to know if create Wizzard offclass, or wait to Warlock.
And thank you for the nice game, only MMO what can beat NW is Elder scrolls online. This two games are just AWESOME, only thing i hate in NW is only 3 spells in spell bar.. 4-5 will be fine, but 3 is too low

as for the last part, Wizards does have 4spells, as their Tab ability allows to have an extra encounter ability, and it adds an extra effect to that 4th ability
If you watch the MOBs AI in game the shadows they use appear to be using Barbarian mechanics (rage)

That is a generic icon. It was used for every upcoming class before they were introduced.
Same as the hooded race icon. Just generic.

That's a generic icon, it means nothing. And last I heard Scourge Warlock is next, then Ranger. In the beta weekends before GWF was released, GWF items and scourge warlock items were dropping. No Ranger items ever dropped. So might be a clue.
He's a mage -- you meet him in the tutorial.
You understand "mage" is not class? This is DND they have very very specific classes. You're not just a rogue, or a warrior. There's many variations of each.
First a small gripe about your post, control wizard while being a mage would more classify into support as a class, mage is an extremely generic term that covers a multitude of possibilities. 2 Melee DPS classes, 2 supports and 1 tank. theres no ranged DPS yet (Although control wizard if done correctly can serve as a ranged DPS with a little control on the table as well, it still is better suited towards a crowd control variation of support with damage as a side effect though) Either a bow based ranger or the warlock would fill the first of the official ranged DPS slots instead of makeshifting it with a different class.
That being said, I completely agree about the opening tiefling appearing to be a hellfire warlock which had me extremely excited from the start to play one, although that shadow dancer was a hell of a lot more appealing I doubt we'll be seeing one anytime soon. (At least I think it was a shadow dancer the way she was teleporting all over the place while using some awesome dagger moves.) Excited for both but the warlock class is what has my interest as I loved it from pencil and paper.
Not necessarily, warlocks might also use arcane considering both fighters have dungeoneering. A valid point none the less, it does make it seem more likely assuming every class will have their own and it isn't based on a general category within the classes themselves.
"Scourge Warlock: Preferring raw power to subtlety, scourge warlocks are tougher than the average warlock, possessing a powerful constitution, which often supercedes their intellect and charisma.
Scourge warlocks foster this capacity for endurance purposefully, channeling their vitality into the deadly invocations they wield.
This comes at the cost of often endangering oneself, either in close combat or through the sheer lethality of their powers, but scourge warlocks are typically more than capable of wielding their dangerous spells safely.
Most scourge warlocks are beholden to devils or horrors of the Far Realm, though exceptions exist."

with paragon path they might even get their own summon.
Guess I should go out and grab a Player's Handbook and see what info I can dig up in general and familiarize myself a little more with 4e. :P

I do suspiect archer ranger is next and this is why:
Alchemy seems very rangery, between deep woods scavenging and stuff.
and Nature nodes are out there already its the only node not being used,
I don't see any infernal nodes yet.
Fay-wild often is very elf/ranger oriented and elves get a bonus with bow,
if the picks and stuff about warlock were legit its possible drow or dragonborn
which are the next 2 races in the tubes come out according to the Piggfiles
one of them may have a bonus to warlocking.
We are a clan that stands strong, stands together and we let nobody venture forth alone.
You guys know that the proper roles are called: leader (cleric), control (wizard), defender (guardian), striker (GWF, TR). Each class, based on how you select powers/feats/paragon path (when there are more than 1), gives you some secondary role set. For instances, a control wizard can spec into more AOE damage related abilities, giving him a Controller/Striker role set. Likewise, many guardians also take some control abilities becoming Defender/Controller. GWF is typically Striker/Striker while the TR has a more Striker/Controller feel due to the action enhancements/denials.
The Scourge Warlock, is a mid-ranged Striker/Defender build typically, and from a power gamer perspective isn't all that great. The Fey Warlock is much more interesting as a Striker/Controller. Sad they didn't go that route to be honest.
One of the things you bring up is the concept of Fey-pact Warlocks. The specific pact a warlock takes doesn't define the 4E warlock builds. A scourge warlock build could just as easily be fey-pact as anything else, even though the infernal and star pacts significantly favor that build. I think you're right though - I don't think PW has incorporated that level of elegance into the game, and the warlock will most likely have the pact being automatically assigned. Shame that the class could be released with the Feywild expansion, a sort of perfect-opportunity to provide a Fey-lock.
Things mentioned higher up:
I don't know why skill nodes would be infernal for warlocks unless that's been data-mined. Warlocks are arcane-based and should have access to Arcane skill. There is no Infernal skill in 4E.
Warlocks, being Cha/Con/Int are custom-fit to Tieflings. I don't think current race choices have any significant reveal to whether Ranger or Warlock is the next class to be released. Would be awesome if we get both though.
Hell yes. Hell. Freakin. Yes.
