These past couple weeks I have done a lot of preaching on the forums in defence of warlocks. People have been complaining about them being the "worst class, constantly shafted, picked on" and so on but I could never see it; top tree dawn, with its movement, is a counter to stasis and is easily still top 3 for PvP. But today it feels like Bungie has been reading my posts and wanted to prove me, specifically me, wrong. Something that is pretty obvious is the new hunter aspect which buffs all the stasis grenades but specifically cold snaps are extremely strong now but only on hunters. [b]But there is something else.[/b] This did not make it into the patch notes but top tree dawn got a SILENT NERF that COMPLETELY changes its effectiveness against stasis: [b]You can no longer icarus dash while slowed.[/b] This was what set top tree dawn apart from all the other light subclasses when playing against stasis; you could get hit by a hunter shuriken or slow dodge or be stuck in a duskfield and still have enough movement to escape. Bungie took this piece of utility away, without saying anything. Here is the video demonstration since I know many people can't even play the game right now (lol) https://twitter.com/zorbiqq69/status/1392348814074253315?s=21 I've said this many times: I am a warlock main because it is clear to me that they are the strongest class. They may not have the outright lethality of hunters or titans with stasis but they have way more utility and reward mastery a lot more. But this changes things; between top dawn being nerfed and stasis grenades getting a buff, hunters just got a huge buff considering the only counter to them before was top dawn. Not really sure what is going on with the sandbox team at Bungie HQ but this is a situation where I am just completely drawing a blank as to why and how this patch made it into the game. The new aspect is one thing but why, of all things, nerf top tree dawn without even giving patch notes detailing why? I just don't get it at all.
