Major Warlock Bug List (DEV HELP!!!)

[necrothmortis]

i have noticed that the warlock has issues with "Word of Change", all status effect essences when using same blast shape, and "Flee the Scene".

Word of change bug: if it is your first time using this spell since you log on, it works properly. if you use it more than once then your ac drops in the 30's when it is advertised that you are supposed to have 45ac base as a "horned devil". this gets very annoying, having to relog everytime you either save, use area transition, or revert back to normal if you plan on using this evocation again.

Flee the Scene bug: it is supposed to give you +4 ac AND haste not haste and +1 stacking dodge bonus.

essence bug: while i used noxious blast i came to realise that i could not do any damage over time blasts to an enemy that has actually become dazed. that is when i realised i could not use any of the following essences in conjuntion with eachother: Noxious + anything, utterdark + anything except Brimstone and Vitriolic. a way i found around the bug is if you use a different shape to stack the effects. so normally when i hit something with a elderich chain + Noxious, the enemy will come out of dazed effects if i hit them with anything considered a mind effecting essence including utterdark (which is not a mind effecting spell). however, i did find a way to make brimstone and vitriolic blast do thier damage over time abilities if you cast it before you fire Noxious or after casting you choose elderich cone/doom to apply the damage over time.

so... what do you Dev's have planned?

[knightmare]

It's a know bug that essence doesn't stack with other types of essence which they are supposed to. You should be able to apply both brimstone and vitriolic to the same target but sadly one overrides the other. That's how it was earlier on but I do not know whether it's fixed yet? Regardless, it is possible to fix this bug with scripting.

Regarding flee the scene, I thinks it's simply a typo. Doesn't haste only add +1 to dodge AC in 3.5 edition?

I've never noticed anything with word of change because I've found it too crappy to even choose

[hnefi]

None of the warlock bugs except the ASF bug have been fixed. None of them are on the unofficial bugfix list for the upcoming patches either.

The problem with Flee the Scene is it's description.

Someone in Obsidian team really hates Warlocks...

[necrothmortis]

agreed, they dont get much attention and have great potential if they ever get fixed. once they get attention i think they will become a much more used class. pointing out these bugs shows how little people have being taking care of the class. everyone is talking about fixing one spell for archane casters (invisibility) but are not talking about the various classes themselves.

take palemaster. i love the class, but it gets no attention, even when people try to rp necromancers because they dont want to gimp out thier character. that is just stupid. i think the more people try to play these broken classes the more complaints they will get, thus the more bugs will become fixed.

i hope more people will start to see this kind of logic. FIX WARLOCKS!!!! RAGHHHHH!!!

If you can write the script to fix these bugs and they 1) require no haks(would be a head Dev call I guess, so hak-less stuff is always better) and 2) are not buggy as well, maybe they can be used in the mod. Because I really don't think it's fair to even ask the Devs to fix Obsidian's mess.

[necrothmortis]

i dont know how to do anything with scripts... do any of you? if one of you does and understands where i am comming from, please say something. its summer time and alot of you have some free time.

in the mean time i am going to study the NWN2 help thingy in the toolset and see if i can learn what i need to do.
