What was the idea for solar warlock?

Now to start off I don't want random hate mail or just point that don't have facts to back them up like "get gud", or its the best. I want a constructive argument. Also this is talking about mostly PvE solar warlock. _________________________ First of all, why is daybreak the way it is? The 10 minute cooldown, the completely lackluster duration, the lack of versatility and use in PvE, and the overall damage are nothing of what it could do before. Why would I use this over well, such an overpowered super along with it completely making bubble useless. And second... if you guys balanced everything around well... why the hell did you think that was a good idea? Nobody wants to have there only viable option being well and all everybody wants you to run. ------------------------------- This comes to another point... holy -blam!- -blam!- who the hell thought leaving warlock with only heat rises and Icarus dash and touch of flame was a good idea? Icarus dash is so unbelievably useless compared to something on the other warlock subclasses like frost pulse, ice flare bolts, glacial harvest, stasis turret, chaos accelerant, child of the old gods, and devour. Second, heat rises? This aspect has some use in the fact it heals and it gives melee energy but that's all. What is the reason for this when the healing can be done for the same cooldown as throwing a healing nade at the ground or have the extra versatility of throwing it at your teammates. The melee energy is all it has going for it. This can be done on other classes and have more build versatility. The only build that comes to mind is monte carlo, winters guile, snap plus heat rises. Or you could just run sunbracers but that works on everything. Dawn chorus works yes but now its been removed which means most likely its going to be nerfed, changed or completely deleted as its the only thing left of bottom tree dawnblade. -------------------------- Now on to pheonix dive, arguably the worst class ability in the entire game to top with this already -blam!- subclass that's held onto by delusional people. First of all, its cooldown is the same as rift making it already unappealing as its an instant heal. Second of all, an instant heal for your teammates doesn't matter when your rift does the same thing but sustained. It may have scorch on heat rises but if you in the air to take advantage of that you just asking to almost die. -------------------------- Why would I run pheonix dive or heat rises with healing nade when: first of all, heat rises makes you more vulnerable when jumping giving it extra risk factor, healing nades can be thrown for the exact same health but at much longer ranges, pheonix dive is just a one time heal when you could have rift, a constant heal your teammates can come back to. The scorch aspect of it doesn't matter because if your that close to enemies chances are your going to die in harder content. ----------------------- Well is the only thing on this subclass plus pheonix/starfire protocol. That carries the subclass besides dawn chorus and winters guile. It feels like the whole subclass was balanced around it making everything seem so lackluster. From the aspects being very limited, pheonix dive just being plain obsolete, one of its supers being the worst in the game and having bullocks duration in pvp, this class is just so worthless and non worth it compared to stasis and void. Arc warlock is something for another time and needs buffs/reworks too.

  • Dawnblade identity should be an ac130 roaming the skies murdering things Plus you have mentioned 4 possible build potentials all with different exotics - a lot of other subclasses on warlock and Titan n hunter don’t have that (arc hunter for example) But it does need better aspects I think that’s it’s problem tbh a couple other tweaks Solar and arc fragments aren’t that great either tbh
