1. It's not what the class needed.
2. It's clearly meant for PvP and Warlock freeze durations (1.5 seconds) are almost unusable. Penumbral Blast only KINDA works because you can sometimes be close enough to melee shatter them.
3. If it somehow IS good in PvP, its 100% doomed to be nerfed because the damage is done and Stasis will always piss people off.
4. It's useless in PvE, the side mode, because we have far better sources to freeze more than twice. 2 Coldsnap grenades? Why not run Claws of Ahamkara to get 2 Punumbral Blasts which are faster and crowd control just as well? This exotic wasn't needed and is very lazy.
5. An Exotic Armor that changed Healing Rift into a flat Duskfield (so you can see while standing in it of course) would've made more sense. Or maybe one to turn Penumbral Blast into a duskfield trap that sticks to surfaces similar to smoke traps. That would have value in all game modes.
Edit: Just realized you can use abuse them as 2 charges of Bleak Watcher. Doesn't make the overall effect good though and was hoping for something to move past the Bleak Watcher spam strategy but I guess that's what I'll be doing all year to terrorize Hive Guardians.

3 RepliesAll that's gonna happen is bleak watcher will be nerfed into the ground when someone on YT inevitably makes a video calling them 'broken'.

1 ReplyDefinitely more of a pve exotic. Double bleak watchers. It kinda seems like a massive waste of an exotic slot in pvp because pretty much every other warlock exotic is better

16 RepliesWarlock freeze duration? Every class has the same freeze duration.

Community acting up. Let's get some real replies in here from people who can read please?

3 RepliesI dunno, I kind of like the idea of it. People say double Bleak Watcher, but it also allows you to return to an improved version of how Shadebinder played at Beyond Light's launch Might toy around with a Iceflare Bolts, Glacial Harvest, and Firepower set up when I get them. On paper it looks like it'll be able to freeze crowds more aggressively than Bleak, but over a shorter duration. Better kill potential, worse CC potential

4 RepliesWhew, another one.

4 RepliesThis person just called pve “the side mode” lol

6 RepliesI plan on using them in PvP because the neutral game for Shadebinder is the best. It’ll be fine.

12 Replies2 stasis turrets bruh

8 RepliesWarlocks dont usually run stasis in crucible anymore, Im gonna use it for double turret spam in gms

1 ReplyDouble turret sounds like a good idea but with 100 disc and EOAW on I get nade energy back fast enough where I might not need those gloves. Stasis bugs with champs a lot and I don't see that changing any time soon, but I'd be down to take these for a spin in GMs.
