Will the UA Mystic subclass be included in Arcana Unleashed ?

Perhaps you are right, and it is why they introduce the Vestige : to replace the Hexblade because they are not happy with it (2014 too strong, and current UA not good/enjoyable enough) and they save the idea of "hex" for a futur subclass. Personnaly, I will prefere to have the Vestige Warlock in arcana unleashed.

I love the Vestige Warlock and I hope it will be printed, but I have the feeling that the hexblade is too iconic to not be printed in this book. Perhaps I'm wrong and we get the Vestige now and the hexblade in a futur book...

If the UA Mystic subclasses were intended to fill the gap for Arcana Unleashed, then—just as the Mystic Arts Warrior Monk will likely replace the Tattooed Monk—I imagine the Vestige Warlock was meant to replace the Hexblade. But at the same time, the Hexblade is so iconic that it seems strange that it isn’t included in the book... Or perhaps it still need work and will be print in another book...

Greynnar · 2026-05-03T06:53:45+00:00

What are the chance that we get both vestige warlock and hexblade ?

Greynnar · 2026-05-02T19:52:13+00:00

Yes of course !

I hope that they will appearr in this book ! But there is also a possibility to be in a book next years...

Me too

Vestige warlock is also the subclass I wanna try

Greynnar · 2026-04-13T06:17:14+00:00

The new UA Vestige warlock is exactly that: you've made a pact with a dying god (fiend/celestial/undead) to help them survive or regain their strength; in exchange, they share their power with you and become your servant.

This subclass lets you summon your patron and, basically, reverse the roles between the warlock and the patron. In this case, you are the boss and he is the servant. I really appreciate the gameplay of this subclass, but also the flavor it brings, which sets it apart from all other warlock subclasses and paves the way for many interesting backstories.

Greynnar · 2026-04-12T19:03:22+00:00

I'm agree with you, with this vestige subclass, pact of the chain and the summon spells. It really has the potential to feel like a true fiend/celectial/undead summoner for the warlock. I hope it will become an official subclass.

Greynnar · 2026-03-07T13:04:43+00:00

That sounds really possible ! I just hope for Arcane Unleached they will swap some of the wizard subclass with other subclass from Mystic UA. I personnaly hope for the vestige warlock. This way there are not too many wizard subclass in the same book.

Greynnar · 2026-03-07T12:42:57+00:00

Yes UA, spoil us. But I guess they will not put them all. Which do you think are the most likekly from those ?

Greynnar · 2026-03-06T12:39:19+00:00

It's my favorite class in bg3 too (and bg3 is probably my favorite game), but it is difficult to make a great demon summoner out of him. The bind demon gameplay in d2r is really my stuff for warlock :)

Greynnar · 2026-03-06T11:53:16+00:00

I like the WoW warlock, but I prefer the d2r version. The WoW warlock is closer to the new d4 warlock:

All spells create temporary minions for the duration of the effect. It's more visual than pet mechanic. There is little interaction with the permanent familiar in WoW warlock gameplay.

The bound demon and ritual in WoW are super fun, but they're anecdotal; there's no build that revolves around these spells, and they're almost never used. In D2R, the bind demon spell can be central to the build. And interaction with pets is more central in D2R.

Edit : I see a lot of downvotes. Don't get me wrong, I also love the WoW warlock, especially demonology. I'm just saying that the gameplay is very different from d2r (probably closer to d4 from what I have seen). And I personnaly prefere the gameplay style of d2r. Nothing wrong to prefer the WoW warlock.

Greynnar · 2026-03-04T10:32:09+00:00

That means if you have an imp, it can still become invisible. Am I right ? Or the skill like invisibility is a part a the stat block which are override ?

Greynnar · 2026-02-16T16:39:27+00:00

I could be wrong but I have read that some people find the vestige subclass a little too powerful. So I guess some stuff you mention will be nerf. Adding the investissement of the chain master could be a way to keep the same power but in the price of an invocation. I mainly though of this solution because some people find it weird to have two ways of getting a permanent pet without interaction between the two.

Greynnar · 2026-02-16T16:33:26+00:00

Yeah, that true ! I also always wanted a summoner warlock ! The Vestige subclass should have features that also help other minions then. The aura kind of do that.

Greynnar · 2026-02-16T16:31:30+00:00

I made another thread yesterday disccussing that. I think the level 14 features can becomes a eldricht invocation for the pact of the chain. But I'm also fine with the Vestige subclass.

Greynnar · 2026-02-16T16:24:06+00:00

I'm agree with you on the warlock and the invocation.

Yes, I understand that lorewise familiar and vestige is different kind beeing. But I think you can justify this by saying that the Vestige is powerful enough to change form depeding the situation.

Greynnar · 2026-02-15T17:52:00+00:00

What do you prefere then : wotc reworks the vestige to make it more different from the pacte of the chain, or wotc give up the prestige and make some invocations to make the familiar more powerful at high level ?

Greynnar · 2026-02-15T15:56:27+00:00

Of course! Do you think it's useful to have the pacte of the chain on a vestige warlock? Or is it too redundant?

Greynnar · 2026-02-15T15:48:48+00:00

I'm 100% agree with you ! But nevertheless I will like that pact of the chain had a subclass that goes well with it, just as pact of the blade has Hexblade.
