Bump

Completely agree, warlocks really need a buff, specially void walker.. A titan shoots like 5 -blam!-ing hammers that do more damage than our single shot nova bomb... Honestly there is absolutely no reason to play a warlock.. When I started playing destiny I chose one because the name sounded cool and have to stuck to him since then , but it really pisses me off that warlocks don't have shit..they are -blam!-ing useless, we need to be needed

I love the class warlock, and I love voidwalker most of all for any and all activities pve or PvP. Though it's final product is just ... Underwhelming. In PvP with the new supers, I can most likely attest I'm the only one who still utilizes it. I mean, it can't even kill a striker with nova bomb when they go foh. And in pve, it's just out shone by stormcaller and especially sunsinger thus no one using it. Put all that on top of hunters substantially getting a utility version of voidwalker (thus better for endgame) and now my favorite class drifts into insignificance. But there is still hope!!! So a mod, deej, Cozmo, ninjas, ANYONE read this and spread the news. And maybe just maybe, one day I along with any voidwalker can enter a fireteam without being kicked because of class discrimination. Now the main reason voidwalker seems the way it does is because it has no real defining aspect that makes it unique. Ahamkara? Nope, let's give it to the hunters even though guardians with only the strongest of minds could defeat them [spoiler]no hate hunters. I just needed to get that off my chest[/spoiler]. Blink? Nah, let's also give it to hunters, then make shotguns op so that everyone blink shotguns and even if you don't you will be shunned. Then after a long needed patch, we will just change the mechanic near entirely. I'm not defending old blink. But the new one is just hard to get used to... Moving on, when I think of voidwalker, I fathom the dark mage character in most RPGs. High health and recovery, decent to low defense, and high attack with a special capability to steal HP from it's enemies. Now, what are other reasons I compel you to look at voidwalker like a dark mage stat? Well just look at the names of the perks: life steal, soul rip, energy drain. and just the lore behind it. So this is how I believe voidwalker needs to be altered. [b][u]1)[/u][/b]: damage output When observing voidwalker for the first time last year I insinuated it would be a prodigiously high attack and offence with pretty much no way to recover or defend asides from the player's skill and the recovery and armor stats in the skill tree. Now bungie sort of designed this. In fact they did it perfectly on paper. But in practice? Nearly everything can survive nova bomb during end game content- in fact here is my list - [b][u]entities which cannot survive nova bomb on equal level activities: Low tiers- shanks, thrall, harpies, psion (all being residual red bars or majors) Mid tier- dregs, vandals, acolytes, goblins, hobgoblins, legionaries, phalanxes (some vandal and phalanxes can survive if they are majors. Other than that, all die being majors or not)[/u][/b] And that's about it, any strong tier or high tier enemies substantially always survive when not damaged prior. I even went into vog a few days ago for nostalgia. Not only can nova bomb not kill [b][u]level 27 to 30[/u][/b] oracles, but it also takes one to two shots from ol' pradyeth just to finish the job. Even on strikes such as sekrion on say level 30 and I am 34. On a smidgen of health and I mean lower than the small triangle of health he has after a long run of beating the ever loving radiolarians out of him, [b][u]it can still survive nova bomb!!![/u][/b]. But let's say we put void burn on and go to omnigol on level 32with no shield at about 1/6th of her health (you still being level 34) she dies just like that. However much damage nova bomb does during void burn, it should do on it's own. The only things nova bomb shouldn't kill should be high tiers (fallen spider tanks, ogres, Cyclopes, and Colossus's) and even then, excluding the tank; nova bomb should do 30 to 50% to them. (Also with shielded majors, they should die unless shield is active and they are above 50% health.) [b][u]2[/u][/b] : skill tree changes Now I believe that at least one skill in each subclass could have been done better. The grenades fine before you inquire. Passive abilities fine. The problem is firstly, lance. Unless it's you're play style, I rarely see anyone even use that. So the new lance could act as a nova beam - blast - laser - whatever you want to call it. In other words lance is essentially galik gun for up to 5 seconds and over penetrates enemies. This would be great for bosses who normally are idle ie golgroth, templar, oryx, kaliks, sepiks, etc. Of course the trade off would be is that during the new lance, you are pretty much immobilized asides from aiming it Next there is melees. Now as for surge, I believe it is fine. It does what it needs to and that is imperative. The real dilemma is life steal. Currently, it only procs when you kill an enemy, and it is inconsequential if you activated it on full health. The new life steal procs regardless of an enemy dying. If they do not die on contact for the 5 seconds of life steal, it will bequeath the victim a d.o.t and all damage done to them reciprocates and heals you. If on full health, it has the potential to grant yo 1/4 of an over shield as they are damaged. Not only would this put some new spins in voidwalker, it could also help with the 'dark mage' feel it should have. Also (this is just an idea) but energy drain could also add a paralysis type effect in pve along with it's current ability. So when energy drain is used, it not only increases grenade charge, but as well you slow enemies and when they are slowed you obtain an agility buff. (Just a thought) My final complaint is with annihilate where it augments the radius of nova bomb. It's great and all, but compared to angry magic or the hunger; it's pretty lack luster. The new annihilate would instead keep nova bomb the same radius, but give it an after shock effect. So let's say I launch a nova bomb at a major ogre, it survives from the initial blast, however only a second later will annihilate kick in doing half to 3/4 of the original damage. And that's how you can do it bungie. With those simple steps, I can go voidwalker and not be harassed to switch classes or be kicked. And on another note, bring skull of dire ahamkara to year 2. It was my favorite and first exotic. I mean it's arguably the best looking and most rare warlock exotic in the game. and I have an idea on how to tweak it [spoiler]delusions of grandeur will now work as so: improved siphon ability not only means 8 seconds of energy drain rather than 4, but an improved attribute to any of the melee perks chosen. Further more, rather than it giving you extra armor during nova bomb, you are invincible during nova bomb and from killing 3 or more red bar or 2 or more majors will you obtain a over shield. Or you could obtain it by taking an extreme amount of damage all at once and surviving for 3 seconds afterward ( you will only obtain the over shield by one of these ways not both) Or anew perk called "illusions of grandeur" where all enemies damaged but not killed by grenades, charged melee, or super are now blinded similar to marked by the void (but all at once) for ten seconds. If the enemy is not killed within the first 5 seconds a d.o.t will be placed on the warlock themselves and the enemy (will not process on bosses)[/spoiler]

Void walker is amazing to me, and I've never had an issue with it

As a Warlock/Titan main, I agree with points 1, 4, and 5. Damage boost would be nice for PvE, and won't make a difference in PvP as it's already a one-hit kill. I also have noticed Angry Magic doesn't work, or if it does, it could work much better because as it is now, I cannot see a difference when using Shatter. And that last point, I've been wondering why the effect doesn't kick in for a while now. But if Voidwalkers get a buff, so should Bladedancers in PvE. And Strikers.

I would like all the old subclasses to be given a pve buff.

Agree

Yeah void walker buff please

Yes
