Are there any warlock mains in the dev team?
It feels like Titans, and especially Hunters, get most of the attention in terms of development.
Considering the fact that this seasons aspect causes crystals to spawn (which has a cooldown btw) while Hunters get something that makes their grenades laughably OP to an already OP subclass stings a bit.
Not to mention the exotic legs we got are underwhelming when Hunters basically get Nighthawk on any super while Titans have a way to counter stasis with theirs. We get another rift gimmick exotic. Don’t we have like 7 of those at this point?
This of course isn’t including the fact Warlocks melee is slower than both Hunter/Titan, making them lose melee trades 100% of the time (unless they screw or up), most shaders looking like absolute crap, robes being 80% of our fashion since they decided to fuse shoulder armor to the robe rather than the gauntlet, nerfs to stasis class before hunters/titans got theirs, our main stat (recovery) being 4 rather than 3 like hunters and titans, “window” face helmet designs, ...the list goes on.
It REALLY feels like Warlocks are getting second handed here in terms of...well, everything.

The new warlock legs are very strong in 3v3 games modes by the way you just need to work with you team. The boots work with lumina giving to noble rounds for free and if your team runs thorn they can 2 tap with it out right when they have the buff

Edited by Mii006: 5/18/2021 2:08:15 AMI find those boots fascinating as now you can have a support warlock and an aggressive warlock in the field. While the boots of the assembler warlock is providing healing and buff. The offense warlock can supply ample rifts.

24 Repliesu mean warlocks are the best to use in everything and have the best exotics**. fixed it for you

14 RepliesI actually quite like the boots, they’re pretty solid because you can play support without playing support.

9 RepliesI dont want to assume you only play pvp but I'm getting the vibe that you do. In PvE though warlocks have the best build potential all around. You can make some nasty grenade builds, infinite ammo void special weapon builds, full on healer build, the new boots you got even can be used on any of your classes and provides your team the benifits while you stay in by yourself. (Say for example your behind a wall and pop a healing rift now all your mates get that healing and dont have to stand in the well.) If your gonna mention the new hunter boots its got a huge limit factor to it with the means of constantly needing orbs for it to work properly. I really can make probably 3 times as many builds on the lock as i can on the hunter. And ive seen and tested a fair number of builds. My favorote one being the infinite void special ammo (not sniper) which is great for things like Telesto, The new Reprised Deicide (its like the Ikelos shotgun but void) and heck Nova bomb can do a heck of alot of damage too.

2 RepliesWe hunters got that aspect last season when warlocks and titans got all the cool stuff. Your turn to be disappointed. Now all of the classes has a stasis shards aspect.

6 RepliesEdited by A_mo: 5/15/2021 12:18:20 PMI'd say that Warlocks probably have the best stasis super at present. Between the end to guardian games and the fact that the most offensive (multiple definitions) class got the hot pants exotic this season there has to be quite a few people who enjoy playing on Titans there. Having said that its coldsnap grenades that are the biggest issue I've seen so far. I main a hunter and its going to be a rough season because I just can't with something that ridiculous.

8 Replieslast season hunters were the one having an aspect giving crystals titans had 1 at beyond light now its warlocks. whats wrong with it ? seems pretty balanced to me

9 RepliesOur new aspect is good, and it was a matter of time before we had it too. The only problem is that it's too limited, it's the only "Shard" aspect that has a cooldown, and is a 15s cooldown after creating only 6 shards. That's far too much. They should reduce the cooldown or make that it starts after creating more than 6 shards. The way is right now it's far too limited.

4 RepliesReal warlock mains know how powerful warlocks really are right now. Warlocks have an incredible tool kit it just takes a lot more thought/strategy and setting up builds to capitalize.
-
1 ReplyBruh- it was just your turn to receive the shard making aspect, do you think titans were excited to receive that? Don't forget we got that aspect when, when hunters and warlocks got a slowing dodge, and insta freeze well-, not to mention the hunter variant of the aspect generated more energy than the titan variant, and hunters got the shard making aspect. When warlocks (you) got the grenade turret- it just happened to be your classes turn to get the shard generator aspect

1 ReplyWarlocks got better aspects like every other time. The new exotocs are a ton of fun imo. Difference maker in some trials games to pop that and let the orbs fly to my team. Not every class is going to get something amazing every time.

Wah wah wah go take ur nuke bomb and cry me a river

1 ReplyNo, they’re all hunter. Same for the exotic team

10 RepliesHunter got the crystals last season while warlocks got their OP turret. Everyone gets the same things as aspects at the end. Warlocks most likely get shatter next season. And most of bungie's team is a warlock main. And warlock stasis is MUCH better than hunter stasis...seing as hunter stasis doesnt do anything anymore when they nerf slow...

3 RepliesThe ones that are probably stick to pve, its a shame because I chose warlock back in D1 because we were supposed to be the mage burst dps class. We warlocks are now the support class with like 8 rift exotics, its ridiculous. Now hunters are going around with overcharged grenades without even having to charge them, exotics designed for full blown boss melt and ability spam happening far more often than warlocks. Im not saying I hate hunters, you guys calling other player names for what they main is messed up. You guys would be just as devastated if you watched other classes getting fun or lethal exotics every season while you get exotics designed for the same boring supportive play style. I don’t want my class to be better than any other class, I don’t want this hate for other classes. All I want is to not feel like I’m always going to be at a disadvantage for playing my class. I really don’t understand why bungie cant make all classes strong and balanced.

Ever since Deej left warlocks have gotten the short end of the stick Maybe having 2 hunter mains has Bungies community managers has given them a slanted opinion -
1 ReplyThe nerf to Nova Warp is absurd. Not being able to blink in your super when slowed makes it laughably bad. You have to hit most supers twice with your charge to take them down. The only saving grace was the movement and being to out juke your opponents. Considering every match is at least 75% stasis players with half the lobby being revenant a single throwing star essentially takes you out of your super. Used to be able to dodge out of the tornado now you just sit there and wait to die. Why would they nerf a class players have been asking to be buffed for over a year against the most broken class in the game?! They’re clearly biased.

1 ReplyI’d like to preface this being a Warlock main since D1. Warlocks are pretty good right now. I 100% agree that warlocks constantly get the short end of the stick when it comes to cosmetics. I’ve been rocking the Duster of the Cormorant Blade for almost 3 years now. Robes are bad, and Bungie seems to put little if no effort into warlocks compared to other types. Then there’s exotics. Warlocks have a tendency to pull the short stick with the exotics ever since Bungie started leaning into the “Support” role for warlocks. This is stupid if you even google the definition of warlock. Sometimes I love running support and helping my teammates. There are other times where I want to just drop a space Magic nuke on my enemies. This archetype design just doesn’t mesh well with what 90% of our subclasses lean towards. What part of Voidwalker screams support? Dawn Chorus and Necrotic Grips are both really strong exotics that make warlocks really strong in all types of content. Battle Harmony isn’t flashy but can get you the fastest super in the game. Boots of the Assembler isn’t crazy, but can fill an amazing niche in crucible when combined with empowering rift. The problem is that most of Warlock’s strong exotics are centered around ability regen. Nezarec and Verity’s are both really strong with the right mods. Controverse and Sunbracers get us strong abilities more often. Geomags and Crown of Tempests help make your supers more impactful. This is in contrast to Hunters and Titans whose exotics are mainly “does a thing”. That take a current ability and completely change its core function. Warlocks have also been the victims of power scaling. Bungie hasn’t done a good job of buffing underwhelming Warlock exotics compared to hunters and Titans. TLDR: Bungie has a problem in their core design philosophy for warlocks that makes them underwhelming in pvp outside of very specific builds. Many of these builds become blatantly broken and get needed immediately and harshly. Bungie’s always liked hunters and Titans more. It isn’t new.

Warlocks have a viable tree for every Subclass, one of the best PvP movement abilities, one of the best grenades all around (Solar nade), the Super that has single handedly broken PvE for 3 years now, Well of Radiance List goes on, truth is, the only class that does give you a boost to your killing potential no matter the skill, is Hunter

There's definitely warlock devs but they sure as heck don't play pvp.

1 ReplyDidn’t really read the post but it isn’t a secret warlocks have been shafted all of D1’s life... now we finally get a decent PvP exotic but at a trade... we can’t icuris dash while slowed..
