Here is why warlocks need a "buff". Okay, let's start with the supers themselves 1 by 1, not abilities. 1.Nova Bomb, To sum it up in 1 word it would be trash, this super is absolute trash. The time the bomb takes to travel is slow as -blam!-. Compare it to the titan Thunderstrike or Blade Barrage? They are way faster, and are better and harder to kill. The time it takes the bomb to travel is long enough for people to dodge it. 2. Nova Wrap, This thing used to be a beast in PvP, but as most things they nerf, it is total inconstant trash. -The blast radius is decent. -The super's speed is slow compared to other subclasses such as the Bottom Tree Striker the super almost impossible to kill and that lasts 1 WHOLE minute, or the Spectral Blades that can go invisible. -It is literally very easy to kill and team shoot just as Nova Bomb. 3.Dawnblade, Okay this one is decent, actually might be considered good, but non warlocks are just straight out ignoring the fact that it takes weeks to master hitting your swords while travelling fast. It isnt easy as everyone thinks. Not even including that if you missed your shot but a half meter it only does half the damage It is no contestant to the almost impossible to kill Bottom Tree striker than can last a whole minute, is armored as -blam!-, and dodges really fast. Over that the aim assist for the swords is bad compared to how fast you move. 4.Well of Radiance, This doesn't even need to be addressed, the super is trash in pvp, useless, nothing good about it other than territory control and we already have the Nightstalkers doing this better. Adding to this, bungie said they will be nerfing the Well of Radiance super, so yeah, as most things they nerf, it will be nerfed to ground just as they did to the titan bubble from D1 and it **MOSTLY** won't be useful in PvE either. 5.Stormcaller, well i can say this is the best super warlocks got gor PvP, yet the reason it is considered bad is the chaining inconsistency, i can legit take 3 seconds to chain lightening into someone, but yet he still survives somehow. Forcing me to chase him few more second to kill him wasting half my energy. Bungie should really fix the Chaining ability. 6.Chaos Reach, not even talking about it, the thing is a beast at eating energy and lasting too short. Other than the trash FOV when you cast it and it's slow movement. Before we go into the abilities, i want to address the base melee stat. Time ago in destiny 1 -Titans and Hunters base melee were the fastest and the quickest. -Warlocks had a slower melee, but to make it fair, they had a significantly longer melee. Over the time and people whining, Warlocks had their melee range nerfed to match the other classes. But the problem is that the speed was unchanged, leaving warlocks to play with their dicks in the corners, unable to win most melee fights even if they were the ones who started it. Im surprised bungie still didnt make us fair compared to the other 2 classes. Time for abilities, Melees... Literally, the only 2 good melees are the Stormcaller ones and Devour. Nothing else, all trash compared to the 1 hit melees of Titans, we can't even win a melee fight we started due to us being way slower than both other classes. Grenades:We dont have wombo combos or the hunter baits. Not to mention the titan's annoying supressors Movement, heh, Now for the fun part. Our movement is the slowest out of all classes. - We are nothing compared to the heights and agility Hunters can jump to - Nothing to the speed Titans can skate at. - We can't dodge, go invisible, or shoulder charge to escape hard situations as hunters do. Our jump is a joke, even though we got Blink, our Void Subclass is mostly the worst choice in PvP, so rare those who use it. Don't even try to mention the Dawnblade's dodge because only .4 kd players use it. Time for Exotics, In all seriousness, we got the worst class exotics someone could ever have. Most of them are situational, few are actually effective. Here are the few non situational good exotics i can think of listed: -Crown Of Tempest, with that thing i can make my storm last longer. -Astrocyte Verse, Really good for blink users, though not much people use Void Subclass for warlocks. -Sunbracers, It is actually good, melee kills restore my grenades, and they last twice longer, actually good. -Ophidian Aspect, Really good, i like extended range and faster reload and ready speed. -Contraverse Hold for Void Players -Getaway Artist -Transversive Steps Really good. What about ALL the other exotics ? Trash, MOSTLY complete PvP failure. They are just situational, rare situations. (I'm only talking about PvP in this post) So long story short, warlocks need a serious Super, ability, and exotics rework. I really feel bad for the class, they used to be very good and unique their way in D1, but now every thing is nerfed to shit.

What is the matter hunter?! Are you too cheap to be bought?! Yes, but you are a hunter main, so stop huntering and what you say does not matter.

Have you tried Bottom tree? Getting health back on kill just by using you grenade is pretty good

Apparently you've never heard of top tree stormcaller.

Sorry? You ha e brain damage, do you?

Hahahahahaha... what?

Because you’re using it wrong

Warlocks our melee my hunter all the time.
