Volistis Gloomlord

The last of my nine pregens is an Eladrin Gloom Binder. The Binder is a new Warlock variant introduced in Heroes of Shadow. Unlike previous warlock variants, the Binders don't have the ability to curse. The binder is instead a pure controller who manipulates creatures' positions on the field and generates hazardous zones. This caused some issues when it came to selecting equipment. None of the existing rods really compliment these abilities and Heroes of Shadow doesn't include any new ones. It's my greatest complaint about the book; more so even than not being able to build a complete party from just the presented classes.

Volistis strikes me as an incredibly useful character. He's tailor made to control the battlefield. However, it would not be enjoyable for folks that want to get up close and personal.
