OK while my instincts were reaching for the troll button I fought against it and read your post, the whole thing, no seriously I did. I main a warlock and use a three sub classes however I have one of each type of character I have a hunter and a titan also. So let me draw a comparison that may help you as a huntar......hunter... (see I'm behaving). Storm Trance has about as much armor on it as golden gun, seriously though storm trance as far as I can tell does not receive any significant armor boost that would increase its survivability. It really is as simple as shooting the storm trance warlock. Know your maps and the terrain and don't panic simply keep your distance and shoot most of my storm trance kills come from getting them while the guardians are unaware or distracted. If I activate storm trance at a distance with an opposing guardian looking at me I'm dead. You say that a warlock in trance is faster than you then honestly I'm sorry but you are huntering wrong (huntering is a word now deal) nothing should be faster than you if you are a hunter [u]especially[/u] a tranced warlock. Now of course there's more to it and there are juicy warlock secrets I won't tell but that's the basics of it if you have anymore honest questions about combating storm trance feel free to ask. Also some of you ask why is a warlock helping a huntar....hunt[b]er[/b]... (see I'm still doing good). The answer is because the nerfing of storm trance is unnecessary. People are simply failing to adapt to something mildly challenging and rather than rise to the challenge they sit and complain. Hopefully with a little help people can realize their just being lazy and need to step up their game.
