Quotes from RangerX117, who commented on a different post regarding broken warlock blinking. I have commented on a few of these but I think it's fair to say that he is quite right on a lot of these points. [quote]First you have to realize that Bungie hates Warlocks in PVP.[/quote] [quote]Slovabomb you can run from and the neutral game sucks.[/quote] Aside from its massive damage output it's the only viable void super ability. It does suck sometimes though. You can walk around a wall and it would hit the wall instead of going around it. [quote]Bottom tree Nova Bomb has the range of a shotgun.[/quote] I can't even remember the last time I used bottom tree nova bomb. It's that useless. [quote]Tickle fingers super sucks and for the nade to be good you have to catch people in groups.[/quote] I can say that this super is actually not that bad, but it could do with a movement speed increase. [quote]Nova Warp is complete trash. You move slower in the super than not. If you want to move fast you have to use super energy. To over come that problem you have to blink and that takes an exotic to be viable, you have to charge the super and it’s totally useless in the air. The only good thing of the entire tree is Handheld Super Nova.[/quote] Nova warp got a hard nerf after it was deemed OP by bungie. You literally have to be touching the enemy to kill them without charging. Handheld supernova remains to be one of the best melee abilities, but that's the only thing going for that subclass. The super could do with a well needed buff. [quote]Bottom tree Dawnblade doesn’t have a neutral game to speak of and what It did have, movement speed just got nerfed.[/quote] I can't remember the last time I used bottom tree dawnblade either. [quote]Top tree Dawnblade super is just plain awful. The melee is really good but only with an artifact mode and that goes away next season.[/quote] Top tree dawnblade only lasts a few seconds but there is a lot of mobility involved. The melee is however good and paired with claws of ahamkara/monte Carlo it's a successful combination. [quote]Rift is the worst class ability for PVP in the game. It can’t move, the over shield is weak and I can’t count how many times i have been killed in it. If you run max recovery you get a rift every 41 seconds. Compare this to a Hunter, who can have a dodge every 9 seconds or so. [/quote] In this instance the same applies to Titan's rally barricade. Warlocks should be able to put rifts down quicker and more frequently. [quote]These are just many examples of how bad warlocks are in PVP. Bungie wants Warlocks to be a PVE class pure and simple.[/quote] I have to agree on this. Warlock's are only really the only class that has PvE support capabilities besides Titan bubble. Warlocks used to dominate the PvP game in crucible in D1 because of self resurrection. It's the total opposite this time around.
