Movement/Jump:
[spoiler]If you learn how to "Warlock surf" via Focused Burst, Warlock is the fastest class on console(and soon to be PC) in terms of forward, horizontal movement. And it's still the best for baiting(floating high above) doorways/corners in PvP without needing an Exotic to help.
I like the jump a lot. But it does take more getting used to imo than the other classes to actually use it well. Though a lot of its previous shortcomings have been alleviated by the mantling system for a lot of players.[/spoiler]
Exotics:
[spoiler]In terms of Exotics, sure some could use buffs, but the same could be said for every class. I also think you're underselling Ophidians. Dexterity(and even Targeting) perks might make them seem less relevant, but you're not always running those.
Whether that be because you haven't acquired gear with those specific perks, or you choose others(i.e. Traction on boots, Impact Induction/Momentum Transfer on gauntlets).
And they work for all weapons at all times, unlike those specific perks, as well as stack with said perks for an even stronger effect.
For instance, a friend of mine has a pair of Ophidians with Enhanced Hand Cannon Loader. That stacks with Ophidians' inherent reload bonus, so on most Hand Cannons, it's essentially having Outlaw at all times.
He couldn't even see a noticeable difference in reloading his Midnight Coup with Outlaw procced or not, since reload speeds do have a set limit/cap.
For someone who primarily focuses on gunplay, and hasn't received a pair of Transversives with Traction on them, these are the obvious pick for people like myself.[/spoiler]

Edited by Madness Tus: 2/27/2019 12:31:20 PMWarlocks are the fastest when paired with Transversive steps without them they're basically similar to titan speed without macro skating. I do agree that the Warlock initial burst when jumping is slower than D1's Warlock but that's no surprise since D2 was a nerf version of D1 to begin with

It still feels slow and when compared to the speed at the Titan boosts not as fast. Not talking skating and macro skating - just boost jumping. We will see come March how fast Titans will be also.

I edited in a lot more details for my initial response to your post.

Once you really get used to the Warlock jump, it is really quick. Even without microscating

Transversive steps paired with both the Mida’s is really fun to run with.
