So I've noticed that warlocks have been getting a lot of hate recently. And by hate, I feel like they haven't been really needed. Sure, a fireborn sunsigner is helpful in trials, but who needs a warlock in a raid? No one. Most raid puzzles/bosses are focused around things that Titans or hunters can do. Yes, a storm caller might be helpful to take down some thrall, but really, warlocks together don't have a purpose, other than to put on a cool light show. Maybe bungie could do something about this.

Actually warlocks are helpful in hard raids considering they can self res negating the perma death. Such as when the Shade of Oryx comes in to attack, instead of a none self res warlock player getting smacked by the sword and risking dying to either 1 hit sworded or getting launched intot he wall and killed by physics a self res warlock can take the hit and maybe survive if they have flame shield.
