Warlock Elemental Question
So, I’ve been wondering this for quite a while:
Fiendlock: Fire, Cold, Negative, Magic
Feylock: Acid, Electrical, Positive, Magic
It made more sense to me personally to swap Acid and Cold damage. Unseelie tends to make me think of Cold and Winter storms, whereas Fiends make me think of Fire and Acid.
Am I alone in this train of thought? Or do other people see it too, but the reason it is this way due to a balance issue I’m too green to realize?

Re: Warlock Elemental Question
Acid lets Feylocks deal with trolls. Dunno if that's WHY they have it, but it's a nice QoL thing.

Re: Warlock Elemental Question
Also extremely lame for a feylock to have to deal with two of the most popular immunities in PvE (i.e. cold and electrical) when it has to rely solely on itself or a grinding melee partner.
Re: Warlock Elemental Question
I mean they still have access to positive and magic, the least resisted popular PvE immunities, and without any of the fiendlock reasons for using a particular element you really almost always want to use those unless you're specifically dealing with trolls.
Re: Warlock Elemental Question
When things were getting reworked with the fiend lock, I told the dev that it would be tough to lose access to fire and/or acid for trolls and mining, so acid was added in. That's really the only reason.
