Warlock Arc 3.0 Needs More

I’m gonna open this up by saying yes the new slide melee aspect is cool, and it’s fairly effective in pvp, I have my doubts for endgame pve but I’ll probably use Void or Solar anyway. HOWEVER, the rest of the kit is basically nonexistent. Being amped does nothing for you besides the same buffs everyone else gets. I have the same issue with Arc that I did with Solar, it lacks an identity in the grand scheme of the classes, buts it’s worse because it doesn’t have an endgame build like the others. Being amped has to do something more for warlock than the standard fair. Also Arc warlock really needs a different class ability. Rift is the exact opposite of the power fantasy for the gotta go fast subclass. We don’t need another movement ability like dash, but maybe something that encourages more aggressive play. Maybe instead of casting a rift on the ground you cast an arc rift on yourself? Being amped grants you healing similar to the recovery of a normal rift (no over shield tho). Gameplay loop would consist of get kills to get amped, pop your class ability, then rush down the enemies to keep yourself amped while you have the recovery to keep you in the fight. Eventually the “rift” ability would wear off and you go back to normal. Then when “rift” is back up, go for it again.

  • Not true. Being amped increases the damage output of arc warlock abilities. It does not do that for the other two classes. Spec’ing into your abilities and keeping them fully charged is extremely powerful with the arc update.
