What is there to love? Everything, and I mean literally everything with the sole exception being Solar grenades, is worse than 2.0 solar. Everyone is so excited about “OP sunbracers build” without realizing you could do it before 3.0 AND do it better. I literally ran the whole sunbracers build for a long time years ago, it’s nothing new.
Top tree, as already mentioned, had its mobility split all over the place. Icarus dash is now one charge on a 5 second cooldown. You can only get two charges by activating heat rises first, and you have to dedicate both aspects to achieve this, which basically means you either gimp your sunbracers build because you can’t run enhanced solars, or you run a halfassed build that we already had intrinsically before. Phoenix dive also had a 5 second CD before compared to being tied to your ability regen, AND you lose your rift. Again, another outright nerf. Sure, you can heal friendlies as well now but you could do that before….with your rift.
Middle tree is a completely inferior alternative to what we had before. Started with the healing grenades: old healing grenades could heal multiple people, provide overshield, heal more, AND could be used offensively. What we have no is that we give up an offensive slot entirely to heal one person for less than we could before while providing 0 overshield. It’s a -blam!- trade off. Class ability regen was also severely nerfed compared to before. Oh, and well of radiance ALSO got nerfed.
Bottom tree just no longer exists. The only part that remains was squished into the scorched/ignition gimmick which requires so many stacks that the enemies are long since dead before it actually triggers and doesn’t work nearly as well as before. So again…nerfed.
We were also told we could fulfill a healer/support role in Solar 3.0, something people have been wanting for a long time. Ironically we now fulfill this role worse than we did before. To add insult to injury titans can actually now do it better as well. There is nothing that Solar 3.0 provides for warlock gameplay that didn’t exist in some BETTER version in 2.0. If you’re having fun now you probably should have played warlock before because this isn’t it. It’s a huge step backwards and a slap in our face. But sure, be excited you can sunbracers now as if we couldn’t before.
TLDR: warlocks got absolutely what on.
Try Prometheus spurs with daybreak, phoenix dive and healing grenades. Don't forget a solar weapon( EoT) and to snap those fingers.
You can be a healing/empowering machine of destruction if you just get creative!
