Its officially known. New Paragon Path for Scourge Warlocks! This one focuses on using the souls of your foes to fuel spells! Who's excited?
There is only one warlock paragon path that fits this description, the Life-Stealer, which is the infernal pact path found in the Player's Handbook. And since scourge warlocks in Neverwinter are pretty much infernal warlocks, does this mean that Life-Stealer is confirmed?

    It won't work against highly geared opponents. There would be no life to steal.

    Jokes aside, I think it could be interesting. Any battle style that is different than CC/Loading damage is a good addition.

    If it is, I wonder how Life Sparks will be represented graphically.

    Life Sparks + Dark Spirals + Infernal Spheres + Blades of Vanquished Armies = So Much Swirly

    It isn't strictly the Life-Stealer from the PHB, but there is definitely some inspiration there. It should be hitting preview sometime soon, possibly even within 2 weeks.

    I'm not excited. They need to fix SW and make half of their arsenal remotely useful and not just TT/DT spam.

    I'm curious as to how Life Spark Summons will be implemented.

    I am curious how they are going to make the life-stealer even remotely more interesting than the hellbringer. The one tide turning passive, No Pity, No Mercy, just is too good to pass up right now.

    I am hoping the same thing, I just started a Ranger because I got sick and tired of the same, constant spam rotation. Hopefully they can make this one work and not introduce another buggy *** path that makes more people run to a different class in the game. I like the premis of Warlocks and love them in PnP, but, I think they can be much more in this game.
    I may not be considered by most the BEST PVP Warlock on the server but, I am the most HATED amongst them.

    I agree Warlock class in D&D is one of the most versatile, unique classes I have ever seen, because of the different Paragon Path they can take...I really hope they continue to expand on this...


    Im so exited to see what the new one offers to the table!! :D

    Well, dunno, I already heal myself from 10% to 100% in a blink so what would be a point of that paragon unless it provides something else besides flat lifesteal?

    Awesome! I was going to wait to make my 2nd SW until a new Paragon came out but now I'm going to go ahead and have fun making him and I just won't choose my Paragon until Mod 5. Thanks!

    Still hoping one day for Star and Fey Pact Warlocks! I realize these will most likely need to be classes all their own, for the base tree of the SW doesn't allow for a proper Fey or Star Pact Warlock. Regardless, I'd love to see these added at some point in the future, indeed!
