It might be strong ; but Storm is nothing without that melee. Unless they completely change the ability of the melee & give us wayyyy better perks then Storm will be trash...effectively making Voidwalker the only truly strong warlock subclass. & you know it's going to happen...it's most definitely going to get nerfed. So let's jus hope they do something to compensate. Otherwise pulsewave & Stormtrance become the only reasons to use this subclass. I mean...you're literally shooting lightning from your hands, there's no reason that it shouldn't be able to hit from that far...it's 8m w. Amplitude. 6m without ; which is equal to every other warlock melee. Making it below average & nothing good//special abt it. Trash nades, trash melee...we'll see what happens.

Throwing knives and Tripmines weren't OP either. Look what happened.

About the nades... [quote]With stormcaller and arc web, pulse and arcbolt are very good. It can do 66 to the first, chain (from a good range) to another for 44, chain AGAIN to another for 44, and even chain back to someone who was already hit for 44. Try it in control, its great. Also, storm is completely trash, it cannot 1 hit anything. [/quote]

[quote]So, Thunderstrike. The well-Known warlock melee for the 'Stormcaller' Some people say that it's Op, and some don't. In my opinion as a Warlock main, I think it's not. Here's why: 1. It's low damage. It can never 1HK a Guardian with full health and armour. Even with feedback which greatly increases your damage for Thunderstrike, It still can never 1HK. 2. It's the slowest melee EVER. it's so slow that whenever I melee someone, I just get shotgunned to death even before I take out my gun. 3. The useless melee perks for Stormcaller. Yes, 2 of the 3 melee perks for the stormcaller are useless in PVP. One lets your thunderstrike chain to another nearby ememy, which is useless. And one adds some lil bit of super energy when you get a hit with thunderstrike, which is also useless. 4. Stormcaller Grenades. We all know these shitty ones that can't 1HK a guardian, Arcbolt, storm, and pulse grenade. So, stormcallers depend greatly on their melee range because it's the best thing about their subclass in addition to super. 5. It has a [b]MAX[/b] amout of range with 'amplitude' perk which gives you extra range. It can't Cross-map like all these crucible crybabies say. it's not a sniper. check for yourself in a private match or youtube video. 6 and finally, It has had the same range on the perk SINCE it came out in TTK. Nobody really complained about that until shotguns started to rule the crucible. Because ya know, That shotgun + melee combo Everyone uses. So here's a tip for everyone: Stop complaining and ruin the game for people who don't shotgun and know how to deal with a melee fight. don't go into the warlock's face to get shotgunned then run away like a b*tch just to get caught within the [u]Extended[/u] melee range. Have a nice (salty) day Guardians![/quote] Point one: Thunder strike does the same amount of damage as any other stock melee (Other than storm fist) but feedback is used it becomes the second highest damage melee on the game, second to storm first overload. Point two: it's not, your probably not using snap discharge, and also the draw back time doesn't really matter because you would already have killed them with a shotgun melee. Point three: That's like saying striker grenades are weak because there is only one good option. You only need one good option!! Point four: All of the best nades usually do not one shot ( Ex: Year one arc bolt, Year two firebolt, Axion bolts, Skip grenades). Storm grenades are very potent if used correctly, and actually can one shot! Point five: saying you were cross mapped by it is an exaggeration to express that you got killed at a stupid range. This makes me feel like you are failing 5th grade English ;/ Point six: No one used it because everyone was using sun. The community usually focusses on one thing to complain about. Also, this is not s valid argument to defend a subclass

This post sucks.

Strong Melee is Stormcallers niche. Without a strong melee it would be a weak class. -Blade dancer has a strong grenade, invis, backstab, average melee, Hunter Jump Super typically beats stormtrance -Striker has a strong grenade, short but powerful melee, juggernaut, Air evade Super destroys stormtrance -Nightstalker has strong grenade, Smoke to make wombo, Shadestep, Hunter Jump Super destroys Stormtrance -Stormcaller has Strong melee, weak grenades, no evasive manuever, worst mobility of any subclass Super is countered by basically every super but radiance or defender bubble The Destiny community is like a Horse with Blinders on. They are simply incapable of looking at an entire classes strengths and weaknesses. Yes Stormcaller melee is good.......because it HAS to be good to make up for horribly inconsistent grenades and the worst mobility of any subclass. If you nerf its melee what will it have? A glass cannon super? So basically their neutral game will be absolute shit and if they are facing Voidwalkers, strikers, Nightstalkers, or Gunslingers then their super will be useless leaving them with NOTHING

Your mom is OP.

It's op af. It's not a secret. I use it always.

It isn't, enough said.

It's low damage? It does the same damage as most other melees.

Nahhhhhh

Jug is OP

I remember during the first few weeks of TTK when players said Stormcaller was the weakest class in the game. Good times.

Stormcaller is like every other subclass. * It has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and abilities. * A skilled player, with the right loadout, perk set, and playstyle, can devastate with it. * Players who don't understand this and get wrecked are likely to whine for nerfs. I think all nine subclasses have been subjected to this, repeatedly.
