First off, it must be noted that the amount of people calling for nerfs is too dang high. All of the classes have specific abilities that grant them advantages over the others, and vice versa. That said, some subclasses have certain traits that enhance specific aspects of their game that others lack. I have been playing for over a year, nearly exclusively as a warlock. Specifically, I main a stormcaller, in both PvP and PvE, though switch to the other subclasses when needed. My experience includes many flawless runs and raid completions, so I do know what I am talking about. PvE- This is going to be short, since my main focus is on PvP. Though whenever Bungie wields its nerfhammer to balance the Crucible, it inevitably (and negatively) impacts the subclasses in the vast majority of Destiny, the PvE aspect. Voidwalker - There is nothing overpowered about this subclass in missions and strikes, yet it is not underpowered either. Who does not want an obsidian mind voidwalker clearing ads in the undying mind strike? That is one of the funnest (yes I know that is not a word) super builds in the game. If anything, I would boost the damage of nova bomb so it could kill a yellow health major, but that is not necessary. Sunsinger- What about hard mode Oryx, and someone dies? I bet you want them to be able to self revive. The other week, my raid team killed the last daughter just as she finished her song. This wiped us all out and left her dead, but the darkness screen appeared and was about to deny us the kill. Lo and behold, I had a fireborn sunsinger and saved the day (while promptly t bagging everyone else). The grenades are not too powerful, and the melees do not matter that much (yes I know flame shield is amazing here too) in PvE. Stormcaller- Also know as mob clearance machine. Put a stormcaller on the taken thralls in Golgoroth’s lair and your team has nothing to worry about. Its damage is fine, its chaining is good, but, when using transcendence, it lasts quite a while. But who does not want that in a raid? Using arc web with a storm grenade also adds to the fun. PvP- This is where all the complaints begin. Undoubtedly, warlocks are good in the Crucible right now. Overpowered? I would say no. Each class operates uniquely (or at least they should), and titans and hunters are also solid choices to main in PvP. Voidwalker- Of all the warlock subclasses, this one has the least amount of complaints. I mained a voidwalker in year one. The grenades are versatile, the melees basic, and all in all, nothing out of the ordinary from the other classes. The super performs as it should, and no perks make the subclass dominant. Available exotics include obsidian mind, nothing manacles, and voidfang vestments, which are all good choices, but do not make the subclass something that stands out as unbalanced. I went into Trials of Osiris with two scatter grenades to get to the Lighthouse. In PvP, I would not really change anything about this subclass. Sunsinger- The biggest problem with this build is the burn. If the latest sunbreaker gauntlets come out, that add another solar grenade and make them last longer, I will use that grenade plus a full burn build. As of now, they are not as good as fusion, which should probably be brought in line with the damage other sticky grenades do, or firebolt. Firebolt by itself does 87 damage, which is not overpowered. Add the 11 ticks of 7 damage the burn does and that is 164. Nearly any damage from a primary is able to finish someone off at that point, making it suddenly very strong. Add the auto tracking and people are calling for nerfs. In a one on one melee battle, they also have the upper hand due to flame shield. This causes three melees to take down a sunsinger unless… a bladedancer has backstab, a gunslinger gets a headshot with a throwing knife or a body shot with burn then melees, a nightstalker throws a smoke bomb with envenomed at his feet then melees, a sunbreaker gets a melee off with his ability and a regular melee, or a striker gets a melee off with his ability and a regular melee. That will cause the warlock to still die in two melees. Really puts that into perspective. The fact is, the sunsinger’s neutral game is suppose to be strong- his super is based off of it. Radiant skin no longer can stop a golden gun shot, and let’s be honest, how many “And Stay Down” medals have people gotten? My guess it quite a bunch. Now the voidfang vestments are my choice exotic for this subclass, since having those ever powerful burn-bolts add to the strong neutral game. In PvP, I would agree the burn is potentially overpowered, but I am not going to say what should or should not be done about it. Likewise, Flame shield is strong, but I would say not too strong. Stormcaller- As my main subclass, there seems to be some confusion as to some of its abilities. I will start of saying, as a whole, the grenades are not as strong as those of other classes. Arcbolt was hit hard in damage (91 instead of 122) and range, storm hits hard (around 175 total) but is delayed with two waves and is easy to jump out of, and pulse has a large delay between damage phases (hitting at 60 damage). The melees, on the other hand, add melee/grenade/super energy on hit, chain if someone is nearby, and add even more range to an already long range melee. I love using the arcbolt/palmscope combo with amplitude to take out close range opponents. The distance of the melee is quite substantial, and I can see why people feel it is strong. On the flip side, stormcallers have no grenades or melees that can kill a solo guardian at full health (except for pulse, which seriously, if you die from that without taking any other damage…*tear*). Now onto the super, which is a whole nother beast. Initially, it lasts 15 seconds, you get 50% damage resistance, you move at around sprint speed (depends on you agility stat), and holding down the attack button makes your super bar drain slightly faster. That is definitely balanced. Add landfall, a mini fist of panic (sorry havoc), superconductor, which chains to more people (3 to 6, no change in range of chaining), and ionic blink, which regularly takes about 1/8 of your super bar every time it is used (this is my preference without a doubt). The main problem with the super is closing the gap to your next enemy, which is why ionic blink is good for my play style. Landfall has a much smaller area of impact and only kills on a direct hit, though also blinds anyone it hits as well. This is why I run with the impossible machines, which is undoubtedly the best stormcaller exotic right now. This makes the super even stronger. And now we get to the perks. I do not like pulse wave or amplify, which leaves transcendence. This perk is amazing. If you do not use your grenade or melee, it adds 8 seconds to your super. Now the cost is, even if someone is at low health in melee range, you cannot melee. Or if someone is low around a corner, you cannot throw a grenade. In my opinion, the benefit of health regeneration and a longer super far outweighs the costs. And, I agree, the duration may be too much. I had time in doubles this week to team wipe my opponents, discharge the probe, glide to their spawn, and team wipe them again. The last perk tree is balanced, though my personal preference is electrostatic mind since I love the super. The other two can also lead to successful play depending on your personal style. Finally, you need to understand that stormcallers are not unkillable. To summarize, voidwalkers are fine, sunsingers could use a relook at their burn, and transcendence on stormcallers could drop by a couple seconds or deplete your grenade and melee energy when cast. Keep in mind I am a warlock main saying this. Now understand I am not saying that titans and hunters are good where they are. Some other subclasses could use minor buffs or nerfs. But the key word here is minor- I am not trying to get the class destroyed… *cough* *cough*… You know what I am talking about. I am interested to hear your ideas below, but please, act like the respectful, mature guardians most of us think we are.
