So i have been maining warlock since the release for the dawning and honestly, Stormcaller isn't that overpowered.
To start with, the grenades do not have amazing tracking or one shot damage but combined with arc web you can take out groups of guardians with ease.
Thunderstrike, for me the only arguably overpowered thing about Thunderstrike may be feedback, but it does make it incredibly useful for PvE. The perk amplitude isn't overpowered since increasing the range is the entire point of the perk.
Stormtrance, without ionic blink being a crutch there would be no real reason to complain about it at all. Yes it is strong, but you can not go invisible or get rid of it quickly so in PvE you have to commit to the fight. In PvP ive found superconductor to be more useful since you can chain lightning to the entire team if they are present.
Stormcallers have no perks for evasion, health regeneration, or overshields.
So in summary, the subclass is strong but it is very much balanced and relies on a Titan like playstyle to use to its full advantage.

Glide is worse than Lift/Double Jump. They have no evasive maneuver outside of Ionic Blink. They don't have any self-healing/overshields. Arcbolts were nerfed. Pulse Grenade is lackluster. Storm Grenades require a lot of finesse since they have a delay before they go off. Many of their abilities also demand trade-offs. Pulsewave requires you to be critically injured. Feedback requires you to get hit by enemy melee attacks (and not die to shotguns in the process). Transendence eats your Melee/Grenade charge. Quite literally, Thunderstrike and Stormtrance are their only truly threatening tools. (With Stormtrance being easily shut down by concentrated fire or burst damage supers). I honestly don't see the good in nerfing Thunderstrike. It would hurt the subclass far too much when they suffer in other areas. It's powerful, but that's because it needs to be.
