[QUOTE="WarlockLord, post: 3829073, member: 40098"] So, now that we've seen previews of both classes...how do they stack up? The wizard preview, I thought, left a bad taste in my mouth. I like the idea of implements...but the "traditions" (Emerald Frost, anyone?) and such were not too great. Also, from most of the playtests, it looks like the wizard will be shoehorned into an evoker role. What was wrong with generalists in 3.5? While I realize they will still be getting disguise self, sleep, and some minor invisibility, it's still not as cool as the 3.5 generalist wizard. Is summoning still in? I know it was in the original article. On the other hand, the warlock looks GREAT! Curses, summoning, and pacts with supernatural powers are pretty cool. It appears to have a substantial amount of controller power, and will be a cool and flavorful class. On a final note, which introduction sounds cooler? "Greetings. I am a wizard of the Emerald Frost." OR "Greetings. I am a warlock in the service of the Shadow." [/QUOTE]
