The underwhelming Dawnblade

the Warlock's Dawnblade has very underwhelming and questionable attunements. The attunement of sky is ok but why does the icarus dash have such a long cooldown if the Phoenix dive has none? Two upgrades for the attunement of flame only improve the super. I really want to enjoy this class but it just seems so weak compared to others.

  • Would be great if they add in flame shield for the top attunement

  • If anything they should balance Arc Warlocks in pvp. Too OP.

      • not to mention you turn into a squishy target in the air, I either don't understand this class or suck at it, nothing about it seems worth using ... and that 10second cool down on icarus dash ... WTF ?

        • Would you like it if we had the revive back? I think it would make sense, because the hunters have cloaking, the titans have shields, and the warlocks have a regeneration thingy that you always just die in if you are being shot at. How about this, If you die in either an empowering rift or a healing rift, you can revive yourself if your super is charged. This would give the warlocks an equal level advantage as the hunters and titans do. Instead of just being a selfless team supporting wizard, the warlock could be much more suitable for solo play. Now i do appreciate devour as the Void walker, but the dawn blade offers so much more mobility, where the devour void walker really needs it. After all, what is the point in recovery, if you recover 100% health on a kill while devour is active. It makes the whole point of the warlock seem pointless because the stats are wasted. Stormcaller is okay. The arc soul is good. Especially when pared with Lunafaction boots, where your team doesn't have to reload but still gets to have a damage boost. However, i think the storm caller needs blink without using the super. This would allow it to have more mobility, since it has an obligation to use melee attacks, but often ant get to the enemy because it has to suffer with burst glide and can't shoot or throw grenades while gliding. The stormcaller is the voidwalker's cool little brother, but because he's little, he has no traits that really trump the big brother and sister, since the voidwalker has mad recovery plus blink, and the dawnblade has maximum airborne mobility with the ability to engage the enemy in 3 dimensions rather than everyone else only having the ground to shoot from accurately. I do think also that the dawnblade melee is tragically bad since it has no obvious effect on the recipient. I believe it should be a melee ability that instead of boosting mobility, has a much more powerful offensive capability. For example, the stormcaller can attack from a long distance and hit multiple enemies. Perhaps the dawnblade could spawn a sword and slash with it as the melee ability. It would hit multiple enemies and would give them solar burn. But swift strike as it is is definitely usable. I just like cool animations that are unique to a class. Also the slova bomb voidwalker is perfect. DO NOT CHANGE. Super scatter grenade is amazing. Super void grenade is amazing. but axion bolt will always be for people in pvp who can't throw. The slova bomb is a massive explosion that spawns about 8 axion bolts which seem to instantly kill large groups of ads. Me and my buddy pair up with slova bomb and tether, we both make more than 8 orbs of light and get to use supers again. I am very happy with the new super for voidwalker while the old one is like an Unfriendly Giant compared to an Iron Gjallahorn. Maybe when the new DLC's come out we will get a new choice of abilities in each subclass. That's how i'd wanna make money.

            I think it's fun to use, but only attunement of Sky synergizes. Attunement of Flame barely synergizes and Igniting Touch is basically a weaker version of the bottom melee perk for Sunbreakers. Attunement of Flame needs to be tweaked some more. There shouldn't be a situation where a perk ONLY affects your super. We could use a bit more group synergy too imo.

          • So far the only thing the Dawnblade excels at is cheesing the MIDA quest with its hovering perk. The Warlock's Stormcaller and Voidwalker are FAR better in terms of synergy and useful exotics. Sunsinger was fine - only the Fireborn perk needed to be removed so players could learn to play the game correctly. Good Warlock players used Radiant Skin and Sunbreakers, contributed to their group by producing orbs, and provided strong area denial through their grenades.

            • Sentinel is actually pretty underwhelming imo. Even though it can do so much...striker and sunbreaker do sentinels job better. There's never a time where I even think about using the shield at all asides from throwing and slapping with it. My warlock friends really enjoy the bottom right tree for dawn blade but they can't pull themselves away from novabomb, the axion bolt one looks WAY too fun.

              • One word as for Icarus dash cool down.... glitches. It would be completely overpowered for finding ways to glitch out of the intended map

                • It's okay, but it's almost like someone forgot that mid-air accuracy doesn't exist in Destiny when designing the one skill tree.

                    Operator error. I personally prefer Stormcaller, but Dawnblade is such a vast improvement over Sunsinger.....

                    • I think it's great. I use the sky one since it compliments my playstyle and character well. While hovering use a handcannons that had explosive rounds like sunshot, can easily kill multiple adds while in the air and get quick cool downs. Being able to cast super and get all abilities back means you can spam your abilities before you pop super. Dodge can be good for snipers and other high damage enemies while in mid air. Finally if you have the exotic that reloads all weapons while in the rift then it will lair great with the amount of rift energy you will be getting with the perk that gives it back on super. All weapons reload immediately so walk in and out of rift to have infinite clip.

                    • I like using Icarus dash as a Dawnblade during daybreak to close the gap between me and my opponents, but unfortunately, because glitchers in the beta used this to get out of the map, Bungie made it so Icarus dash uses super energy each time you use it. Which is dumb. Just because you have explorers playing your game, doesn't mean you should nerf it for the normal players who use abilities for what they're meant to be used for.

                      I like the Dawnblade; but I really miss the self-resurrect. It was always my go to Warlock class. With the sword, go into a crowd and lay the boom. It will never let you down. :)

                      • The atunements are -blam!-ed up. Attunement of Sky gives you awesome neutral game. Attunement of Flame pretty much only improves your super, which is useless because you only get it once ever ~7 minutes. Then unless you're maybe using the fancy winged chestpiece, Phoenix Dive serves exactly no purpose.

                                • Just extend the super duration. I don't get how you're complaining about the neutral game while being able to shoot while flying and getting a warlock garrison.
