To All My Warlock Bretheren
I beseech you all!
Too long have we been nerfed. Too long have we been relegated to the well of Radiance. Too long have we had our abilities nerfed, removed, or blatantly given to other classes! Too long have we been passed over for new abilities and super damage buffs!
I propose this! Take a break! Ignore the urge to log in for weekly reset! Play other classes! Something to bury our usage to the Utter ground!
Make LFG scream the need for Warlocks! Do not heed their call! Make them miss the warmth of your well. Make them miss Stan the stasis turret!
This is to bring attention to the needs of our class!
To all the other classes if you have similar concerns with your class don't attack us. Make a post about your concerns and vote with your time and money! Huzzah

Oh I haven't touched my warlock for weeks. Titan feels more like a Stormcaller than my stormcaller ever will. HoiL feels like a better crown of tempest.

Im still livid about the absolute neutering phoenix dive got Bottom tree dawn was by far the least played solar tree, and was near UNUSED in pvp. I understand why they moved it to class ability, but the cooldown is still way too long to justify using it for anything other than meming. It went from a 6-sec cooldown with a moderate heal to 40 WHOLE SECONDS with a [i]slightly[/i] better heal. Remove the teammate healing, remove the restoration, keep it at cure x2 and drop cooldown to 20 seconds, 10 with max recov. Its so bad in its current state that its laughable at best. Especially after how badly the other warlock classes had any and all identity stripped from them. Hunters can now blink. All classes get ionic trace. All classes have healing grenades. Firebolt grenades arent even worth using. Titans now have a better version of a grenade that used to be warlock-specific. Devour got a heavy nerf. Chaos reach is now garbage even with geomags. Dawnblade is an absolute joke. Slowva bomb throws itself into walls half the time and good luck hitting anything with vortex nova. Neither of which even do decent damage. Nova warp is a shadow of what it used to be and loses to just about every other super in the game. Benevolent dawn was straight up removed. Icarus dash got cut from 2 to 1. Shadebinder really looks like the best warlock subclass for the only reason that it has versatility in both pvp and pve, but heavily relies on having an exotic for the class to even be somewhat competitive. But warlocks are OP because ophidians give you half a meter LESS melee range than synthoceps… right?

1 RespuestaSo, I realized this strike will die or at least be ineffective if it’s not taken to the bigger forums of Reddit and twitter. I’d do it but I’ve been abstaining from using large social media because I know it’ll drive me nuts (I have enough anxiety as is I don’t need Elon Musk’s twitter to do any more damage) so is anyone up for creating a Warlock Strike thread on Reddit and a hashtag on twitter?

4 RespuestasRemember when playing Warlock was considered a higher skill ceiling, and being a truly effective Warlock in either PvP or PvE meant you had skill? It was once considered the hardest class to master. Oh but then came the nerfs. More and more of them. Warlocks are too fast, nerf them. Second Icarus Dash was removed. But hey, look at them Titans spamming their melees at no cost to cross maps three times faster than a Warlock ever could! The removal of that second Icarus Dash was the beginning of their fall into obscurity. Then Solar 3.0 dropped, making it even worse. Bungie only has to look at metrics of their usage rates in PvP to know the extent of their nerfs’ damage. Why they don’t do something to help them regain relevance is beyond me. Being relegated to excelling at PvE is not what Warlocks want. We need serious help to be relevant again in PvP. People of main Warlock do so for love of that class. I really wish Bungie would do something to help improve the class.

3 Respuestasstasis warlock is the best subclass in the game. just use that one

I’m not a warlock main but, well said my fellow guardian.

5 RespuestasEditado por hate n payne: 11/9/2022 4:32:21 PMI do not main a class but the Warlock will forever be a favorite. Love my Void Big Bang Attack too much. Plus the “Mage” has always been a RPG class I enjoy especially since the first character I ever enjoyed was “Vivi” from FFIX. Too bad the “Mage” concept for Warlocks are neutered, centered around specific abilities or exotics or removed due to being “intently working”.
-
3 RespuestasNova and Chaos reach need a bit more more damage or more aggressive energy refund with their exotics. Slowva needs better tracking. Stormtrance needs better tracking & hit registration. Dawnblade needs better tracking or more blast radius - something. Icarus Dash should be a fragment not an aspect. Rift animation needs to be faster (less time to cast rift). Neutral game is pretty OK RN generally. Looking forward to or dreading Arc Soul meta in PvP. Not sure which yet.

1 RespuestaI just switched to Titan and started chucking storm grenades everywhere. Might as well have some fun before they get nerfed.

2 RespuestasI've been a warlock main since the d1 beta. I've played this game as a top 1%er since then. With the way the game feels nowadays, I don't even want to sign in. I hit the director and stare at all the places I could go...and nothing has any value. There's nothing for me to obtain, no purpose to do anything. Just the same strike for the 12000th time. The raid I could basically do blindfolded. It's all just not fun anymore. And that's not because I overplayed it, I've put thousands of hours into other games. But destiny is dying. It's dull. It's bland. And bungie has gotten lazy. I have barely played in the last 2-3 months and it's honestly been great. Other games are just so much more interesting right now

3 Respuestas( this is not directed at the post but at the overall conversation) by the traveler are you all are daft, just because an exotic can bring Warlock Solar some much needed power the actual subclass is in a abysmal state a subclass should be solid on its own terms not exotic’s just because there are builds with rain of fire, Starfire protocol, and sunbracers does not mean a subclass or an ability is ok. Solar warlock is entirely subsisting on exotics, it’s like saying someone with renal failure is ok because they’re on dialysis they still need a new kidney to actually live a decent life. So no, an exotic should not define a subclasses usability it should be the other way around! I’m ok with the states of Void, Arc (admittedly chaos reach is in the same boat as Dawnblade), and Stasis because at least the subclass can function in some way or another with out an exotic, Solar can’t even do that. So, before you point to an ability or subclass ask yourself, would you be able to use it without an exotic?

Thank you to all who have upvoted and commented this has been fun and productive criticism for the most part. I thank you all for the discourse.

2 RespuestasI don’t know man. I was running that warlock with well in gms yesterday and it was hella good.🤷🏼♂️

2 RespuestasHa, jokes on you. I have already started taking a break. While I love Destiny, I just can’t bring myself to play it because it’s not that fun. We continually get shafted, pvp is a mess, and everything is extremely grindy in pve. All this together is just not fun. A video game should not feel like it forces you to treat it as a second job. Combine this with the fact our class feels like it’s been shafted over and over again. I’ll pass till some crazy changes are made.

2 RespuestasI recently started really exploring my Hunter, and Titan. They’re hella fun, and powerful, true. But so is Warlock. ‘Lock could use some minor buffs to keep up, but it’s nowhere near as bad as everyone’s making it out to be. Void and Solar Warlocks are far, far harder to kill than the other classes by a big margin. My time spent in cover with a ‘Lock is a fraction of the time spent hiding to regen with the others. Honestly all I really want and am frustrated with is the rift cast animation. It should be near instant. Do that and ‘Lock will feel as powerful as the other classes.

Currently exploring Nordic ruins and traveling between the nine realms with my boi, will return eventually 🤙

1 RespuestaWhat? No. I am Warlock. I seek knowledge to destroy aliens. I am not an armored tight end or cowboy ninja jumping in the air to miss shots. I fight in the robe I sleep in. I am Warlock.
