Editing Paragon Path (section)

===Herald of Vezzuvu===
While available to Elemental Pact warlocks, this is also open to anyone with the Earthforger, Firecrafter, or Primordial Adept themes. Taking this path is essentially a sign of pyromania with some uses. ''Volcanic Action'' uses an AP to add +1/2 level thunder or fire damage to your next attack, ''Volcanic Resistance'' gives Resist 10 fire (Which even works on mixed-type attacks, though by half, but doesn't stack with other resistances like a tiefling's), and ''Volcanic Walk'' just...negates volcanic conditions and lets you walk on lava. 

Lava Bomb just deals ongoing fire damage that spreads to others. Vezzuvu's Balm negates fire damage, giving you THP equal to what you would've taken and get a +2 to your next attack. Volcanic Wrath is a big blast that always deals ongoing fire damage, pushes those that get hit, and leaves a massive crater that's difficult terrain that burns anyone on it.

As fun as a fire path might be, the Firecrafter theme has a better-dedicated path, the Elementlock still suffers from its mixed stat-dependencies and now has powers that can't use implements, and Earthforger and Primordial Adept find little to benefit from.
