The Scourge Warlock is Neverwinter's seventh class introduced in Module 4: Tyranny of Dragons.

Scourge Warlocks wield pact blades, wear darkleather armor, and carry grimoires.

Role

Warlocks can fill one of three roles in a group. They can dedicate themselves to the dark arts and decimate their foes, either by dealing necrotic damage and cursing foes or by summoning their soul puppet to augment their damage. Additionally Warlocks can support their allies by tearing the souls from their foes to heal and empower their allies. The three feat trees are broken up as described below.

Fury – A Fury Warlock destroys their foes with fire and death, cursing their foes and then decimating them with their most powerful spells, leaving them a smoking husk.
Damnation – A Damnation Warlock controls a soul puppet to empower themselves and destroy their foes, eventually making this puppet a permanent part of their arsenal. While their Soul Puppet is active they are a much more potent combatant who can destroy foes at various distances.
Temptation – A Temptation Warlock binds the souls of their foes and their allies to steal the very life force from their foes to heal their allies. They also command several auras that bolster nearby allies or weaken nearby foes.
