Warlocks should have a way to shatter stasis crystals
I dont play warlock, but imagine a stasis bouncy ball that shatters crystals? It would be so fun and cool. Id just be yeeting those thing everywhere just for fun

15 RepliesStasis should just be removed from the game instead. Problem solved.

2 RepliesI agree with this in the sense that getting the stasis quests done on a warlock is complete -blam!- when it wants me to shatter people.

Can we bounce around on top of it with increased speed and launch ourself through the shards like a shoulder charge?

Honestly if bungie didn’t nerf the freeze then we wouldn’t really need a shatter ability. Bungie talks all this smack about wanting all classes to be unique, warlocks were supposed to be the freezing class, hunters the slowing class and titans being the shatter class. It all became a problem when bungie went around giving these classes abilities that they aren’t even supposed to be fulfilling. Hunters don’t beed the dive, that honestly makes more sense on titans. Bungie nerfed warlock freeze chain for no reason, the reduction in time spent frozen was more than enough, they even nerfed the melee’s range and tracking to where you need pin point accuracy. Hunters are supposed to be all about slowing players down but bungie had over buffed the slow to have like 10 negative effects on release. They then nerfed slow so bad that its basically a joke now.

3 RepliesThere isn’t really that much of a reason for warlocks to have a shatter ability. The only times you’d use it is when using Glacial Grenades, and frozen targets can be taken out just fine. Behemoth already has enough of its identity stolen by Shatterdive and Revenant’s Grenade Aspect, it would make it straight up redundant if EVERY class had a shatter aspect. I don’t mean to sound like a killjoy, but Shadebinder is fine as it is. It’s one of the top tier options in both PvE AND PvP. Crystals have never been meta in PvE and that’s why Behemoth sucks right now, and if everyone else could just do what behemoth did (and if you’re revenant, arguably better) then it’s like the subclass doesn’t even exist.

I’m imagining a replaceable melee with a minor animation difference that serves to shatter crystals either within say a 15 meter radius or when facing crystals up to 25 meters away. This could honestly be a infinite ability that doesn’t need a cooldown since the actual ability wouldn’t do anything more than a normal melee, but it adds the utility to shattering crystals if you are paying attention to them while removing the freeze melee ability. I thought it was interesting in any case and somewhat fair. Obviously, I mean instantly shatter your own stasis crystals, maybe teammates too, not really sure.

At the very least, the pulse wave from Shadebinder's super staff should shatter stasis crystals... alas it does not. Heck, we didn't even get a Stasis themed exotic. Bungie being Bungo again. 🤷

I agree as it is a shame that warlock misses out on that aspect of stasis as the other two subclasses enjoy all aspects of stasis slow, freeze, shatter and shards. Meanwhile warlock gets slow freeze and shards. and on a more personal note I really liked shatter and I am very sad I cannot utilize that aspect of stasis to the fullest extent due to the lack of a stasis shatter ability. Which forces me to have to heavily cater my build to get a fraction of the result.

Especially with new perks of Headstone it would be nice to have a combo that amplified damage and offered variation from shoot, shoot, then shoot. Great wizard has the power to call up a glacial ice block...then needs to bring up a gun in order to shatter it?! Warlock SHOULD be the grenade class after all - Hunter movement; Titan Melee.
-
I agree its strange we don't have any way of using our class ability or special configuration of shattering outside of using weapons compared to the other two classes.

4 RepliesJust shoot the crystals. 🤦♂️

I don’t play warlock much at all, but I remember the last time I did they had more stasis fragment slots and I was able to run one that makes weapons do more damage to stasis crystals. It took one hip-fire dmt shot to take out a crystal with that fragment. You can freeze and shoot instantly after from range and quickly kill what was frozen. That was my method of rapidly destroying crystals as a warlock.

1 ReplyI'm convinced that people who are still asking for a way to shatter as Warlock have no idea how to play Warlock.
-
There are ways to shatter crystals. Using winter fury is one. You can prune crystals by using 140 or 120 HC and Whisper of Rending. If you have the exotic that creates arc wave when using rifts, that will work as well.
-
Warlocks can freeze n shatter apon rift placement with the exotic chest piece vesper of radius then seek more to freeze, this is more then capable in pve
-
Its annoying that we dont
