In my campaign that I've been playing in for a few months (1st-7th), my Dwarven Runepriest, Bruh, has seen fit to leave the party to attend to personal matters like his nation being the victim of genocide.
I've decided to replace him with Holly, a Drow Vestige Warlock. I got my DM to give drow a bonus to intelligence instead of charisma, so I have fairly respectable stats, including a 17 in both Con and Int (We're like two combats from 8th level, so I have her temporarily unoptimal stats). My party consists of a druid, bard, warden, rogue and wizard, all pretty poorly optimized. The only one of us who's ever built a 4e character is our DM, and he's done a great job of keeping encounters within a good range of difficulty.
I am new to 4e. My experience ends with a heroic-tier runepriest and building a level 7 warlock. I understand as many concepts as transfer effectively from 3.5, but I'll probably miss the finer details. With that in mind, how can I effectively play a heroic-tier vestigelock in 4e? What feats should I take as soon as possible? What options are traps?
