Dawnblade vs. Voidwalker vs. Stormcaller

Destiny 2 has been out for days now. Which one do you prefer? I gotta say that I don't enjoy the new [b][u]Voidwalker[/u][/b] as much as the old one. In D1 I loved how quick I could get my grenade back with The Hunger and Embrace the Void. The devour thing in D2 isn't that much fun to me. This hurts because I was a VW main all my (Destiny) life. But I'll keep giving it a try. I like the D2 [b][u]Stormcaller[/u][/b] better than the old one. Mainly because of Arc Soul. But there's something else I can't describe that makes it feel better to me. My favorite is the [b][u]Dawnblade[/u][/b]. Nothing beats the mid air dodge and shooting while gliding IMO. Also kills while gliding recharge your grenade quicker. I feel so mobile, am constantly in the air, hovering above enemies, shooting while flying from left to right, stopping myself in mid air when a Cabal launches me in the air. I love it. Most fun Warlock subclass to me. What do you think about the D2 Warlock subclasses? What's your favorite?

  • Honestly I like all but I’m still wondering what is better stormcaller or dawnblade because I think stormcaller is getting a lil bit boring just like void walker did but I think dawnblade has limitless fun because it makes me feel comfortable and really powerful i hate that people think it’s bad cuz it’s really not I’m going to think today as long as you give it a chance you will see it’s really good in pve anyway pvp probably voidwalker because of blink

  • Favorite is the dawnblade :D I haven’t tried the stormcaller yet but I’ve seen it in vids. I love having multiple projectiles instead of just one huge one if you just wanna kill some psions that are scattered around the area am I right? I love projectile subclasses tho and that’s why I have the Sunbreaker on my titan

  • Voidwalker with devour and Winter's guile exotic gauntlets lets you wade into any group of enemies and just punch them all to death, not even worrying about health. It's awesome, but I personally prefer the Dawnblade with the top tree. Shooting while gliding is just really fun, and I miss being able to do it when playing other subclasses. In pvp you can hover over somebody, pepper them with a smg, then land and finish with a melee. People seem really bad at hitting airborne moving targets, and even so, you're the only subclass in the game that presents a threat shooting while airborne, so they might decide they'd rather focus on your team. Stormcaller is kind of lackluster for me, I know a lot of people like it but it just doesn't really fit my playstyle, or I haven't figured out how to get the most use out of it.

  • New void class is crazy Back in D1 I main void because I like the massive chain explorations that erased all enemies in site but the new tree and devour is the best PvE class ever I just keep killing and the only thing stopping me is when there is nothing left to shoot

  • Least- greatest Dawn blade Void walker Storm caller. Dawnblade literally provides nothing that the other subclasses don't and arguably better, voidwalker path of the devourer is amazing for solo play and stormcaller actually has really good support capabilities. I was worried that the only team support warlocks would have would be their rift and I was pleasantly surprised.

      Honestly, I don't know yet. I never really cared for the "meta" idea (I play FFXIV, and still don't care about being meta). Voidwalker is just...so....damn...satisfying. That moment when you fire a giant dark ball of death (top tree, of course) in PvE and it clears an entire area. I love it. Surprisingly effective too. I mained vw in d1, so I feel a little homage to it. Haven't played the bottom path yet, though I imagine it to be pretty tanky. I'm pretty confident in my survivability so I prefer being the harbinger of death (top path) rather than the tank. Dawnblade I feel like the rising hero fighting against the true darkness. When used right it can do some real wreckage in PvP and PvE (I love it when a stormcaller in stormtrance comes around and eats 2 flaming blade beams to the face. You're not gods!!!!) Phoenix dive can be a bit better though (though I have Phoenix dove on someone's head and it was extremely satisfying), and I usually stay away from the top path (though it's pretty damn handy for pvp for air dodging and swift strike). Stormcaller I feel like a master lock. Arc Soul is fantastic, the grenades are destructive and...man landfall is just fantastic to get off in PvP and PvE. Stormtrance is fantastic for crowd control, and also does really good boss damage (I'm usually the one melee tanking the boss. Terrifying, but fun). Honestly for me is the lore of choosing which. Simply put, they're all good if you know how to use them.

      Warlock main here since Day 1, Y1. Honestly, the new Void sub class is pretty killer for PvE when you roll with the big fat blob version of the super. I make 5+ orbs routinely with it, often getting a full 7 orbs. Still prefer Nova PvP too but in PvP I switch to the smaller, faster OG Nova Bomb so people can't just run away from the fat one. OG Nova Bomb is great for getting full team kills of camping bitches too lol. Love the new Stormcaller as well as it feels powerful for sure and love Arc Soul in PvE. I don't use it in PvP though because PvP is WAY too low skill camp style so you're not really going to come around a corner and have a chance to get close enough to the camp parade in the back all shooting at you at once. I was wrecking face with Nova Bomb in PvP though. (Side note: How long until the special kids cry nerf on Arc Soul lol?) Dawnblade, meh, haven't given it a fair shake yet. I mean it's repackaged Hammers off of the Titan and that alone makes me resent it and it kinda feels like lazy design to just do that. But I did get Sunbracers and Sunbreakers were one of my favorite exotics in D1 so I guess I'll give DB more time here soon.

        • Stormcallers bottom path is a god in pve especially with empowered, top path is more pvp but I honestly haven't played pvp yet

          • Yeah I love Dawnblade but I prefer tree 2. It feels great and I love phoenix dive, the super, the melee combustion and all 3 nades. Oh and the perk that makes your super last longer when getting a kill and tracks enemies is really op in pve. I literally have my super for 45 seconds if im killing mobs constantly. Super fun and very strong once you get good at using everything together. I also like that both trees are viable in pve and pvp. They both work well although im not a big fan of winged sun simply cuz I dont like to keep floating while im shooting. I just cant get used to it. I like staying in place while ads but not continuing to float if I throw a nade and hip fire etc.

          • I like stormcaller and Voidwalker. I hate dawnblade though, especially the top tree. The only thing I like is Phoenix dive.

          • Voidwalkers are tanky af if you play it right. They got some crazy sustainable self heals. Dawnblades are super mobile. I like stormcallers tho because they have an extremely strong super for clearing waves of adds, as well as faster regen for their rift and the arc souls it grants your teammates. Putting that together with the exotic that reloads your teammates weapons with the rift is useful

          • I'm so confused. How does anyone think the new voidwalker is bad? It's insane. You can keep devour up 100% of the time in most activities and it takes like 4 kills to fully recharge your nade. You basically can't die if there are any adds at all.

          • I main a voidwalker in d1 and hate the other two classes. Sad to say that stormcaller is the way to go in d2 but I'm learning to like it.

          • I would say voidwalker with the bottom tree is the best from what I have played. That unlimited health regen makes crowd control so easy

            • Voidwalker is my go to still in D2, I use the hunger path in PVE consume a grenade and get healed then get healed on melee kills then on kills when the perk is active, I never die. I also have the exotic helm that on void kills (weapon or abilities) gives me my powers back faster. I have and will never care for stormcaller, it has decent dps but just isn't my thing. I agree with the dawnblade though it's great in PVE and PvP, being able to have that extra mobility and being able to fire your weapons while gliding is awesome. I usually use the exotic chest that gives me angel of light for that extra air control.

            • I was quite surprised to see Voidwalker and Stormcaller powers return, sort of felt to me when you regain them as feeling complete. For me, i never liked Voidwalker in D1 so i mostly went with the Sunsinger, and when Stormcaller came along i switched between this and Sunsinger. With D2, i still am not a fan of the Voidwalker powers as they seem to have nerfed it. So like before, i switch between Dawnblade and Stormcaller. Stormcaller has the Arc Soul, which is useful when it gets tougher.

            • Voidwalker held a special place in my heart all throughout D1 and I was super (HA) happy it was still in D2. It's still my go to subclass, and I have a TON of fun with it. The Slow-va bomb is incredibly satisfying to watch as it sails into a large group of enemies and just annihilates them. With the right mods the Entropic Pull feature is a bit better at grenade regen. And don't get me started on how much fun it is to watch bad guys explode with Bloom. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Dawnblade and will use it and Stormcaller occasionally. But Voidwalker continues to be my absolute favorite subclass.

            • Storm caller with the bottom tree for the arc ball is amazing if you mod correctly for fast ability recharge, I find dawn blade a little weak from pve perspective as it doesnt last long/hit hard enough, like the concept though

              • Voidwalker in PvP 100%. Whenever I see an arcstrider or captain america the voidwalker puts them straight to sleep. It's also pretty good in PvE. I use bottom tree. Top tree is decent in pve but the big slow bomb will sometimes blow up early by hitting a small ad before it gets to the boss. Stormcaller is good in PvE only. (Not for boss) And I actually like dawnblade. It does feel a little underpowered but now I have the chest piece that allows 2 nades and the midair jukes. And I can wipe out ads and hit the boss safely withoutv taking alot of damage.

              • Probably voidwalker. I always ran with a vampire build in D1. dawnblade is "cool" but I don't find it particularly useful in either pvp or pve. it just exists. And I reserve my statement on stormcaller. I hated that it existed in D1 and i'm not happy to see it back. it feels boring to use but crazy strong in any activity.

              • I think they pretty much wrecked voidwalker. It feels slow and underpowered. Too bad. I loved being a voidwalker main in y1. sunblader or whatever feels like a weaker version of a hammer Titan. I miss grenade spam. Stormcaller is much improved. It is now my main.
