    When i first heard about this class I was skeptical I really was but after seeing first hand what the Temptation tree is like (mostly DoTs HoTs and AOEs with bouncing and automatic curses) I have to say they did a darn good job with this class.

    I've since posted requests for updating their DC to improve the AOE capabilities in their forums as well as updating the DC with the ability to bounce curses in that class off of nearby opponents and restore the Sacred Flame AOE effect that that spell had prelaunch which made things WAY easier for the DC. I've requested this because as a previous Nature HR and a new Temptation build SW I have to say that it's really sad that they've kept this campaign going to punish the DCs just because they can heal. 

    DCs will be the biggest challenge, they need to add bouncing to curses if they keep them, give the DCs more AOEs in PVE, make the AOEs larger, remove the ground targeting of some, add the ability to heal while doing damage to many abilities like they did with the Temptation SW and the Nature HR so that there is finally a dps option for DCs and give the DCs the ability to have separate identities when speccing differently. (their two choices for paragon paths are way too alike right now they need some love just like HR received in their recent patch)

    Yup, definitely have to love how often you get those things as loot, just to make sure you are aware that you can buy keys to unlock them with, for real money of course, it would be no fun otherwise image

    Also Keep in mind you can earn the zen free(with some effort) just g oto charge zen and then  the earn zen link and complete offers and surveys...if your new to it perhaps a websitel ike instagc or pooints2shop have guides for their sites but will help ya on these t hen ya transfer the  zen once ya earn it.

     

    Since ive started playing with  neverwinter besides spending real money ive earned over 100 bucks in zen takes some effort but its possible.

    Weird, I never knew you had to get a lockbox to progress, used a lockbox to acquire an item that made it possible to kill a boss, or used a lockbox to acquire a rare or useful item or skill.

     

    In short, lockboxes are there for people with excess income to spend money to buy rare mounts and skins.  Bot of which are totally not needed to do anything in the game.  But if your personality is one in which you "need" to have everything, then yes you have to buy lockboxes or keys to open them.  But then that is a product of your unhealthy lifestyle and not the fault of the game.

    Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

    Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!

    Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

    Nor only will I play as a SW I am playing one now. This article was VERY timely for me as I just reached the point of having to pick my paragon path, Seeing as I've only played solo except in CTA and the Catharxsas events i'll choose the Damnation path. Of course I'll be choosing from the other 2 as well. I would suggest that anyone who is serious about playing as a SW that they buy the Scourge Warlock pkg. (it's only $34.95 or 3500 zen). In conclusion, I can actually se my SW replacing my GWF as my go to toon. What happened to getting Planer Idols in the Lockboxes? They are the main reason for me buying Enchanted Keys.

    Weird I never knew you could determine someones lifestyle from a gaming forum post and then determine if it was healthly or unhealthy.

    Please do tell !!!
