Will everyone just stop! It's completely balanced. You're all just getting salty because it's gone full circle. First it was the Bladedancer Super. Then it was the Sunbreaker Super. Now you're all calling for a Stormcaller nerf. We get the same amount of additional armour as anyone else using their super.
I'm just going to throw out there some stuff the pre nerfed supers were saying in their hayday. Focus fire, don't pack all together, a headshot from a high impact sniper kills me, adapt your play style so that you can take out my class whilst we're in super... yada yada yada. Sound familiar?
There are many things that kill Stormcallers in super like a super blast and a quick melee, a solar hammer, a headshot from a higher impact sniper, focus fire, a golden gun shot etc...
So before you all cry nerf, remember that Warlocks had this coming and in fact is completely balanced. Okay so floating around and holding right trigger doesn't but other elements in the sub class do require some skill like perpetual charge, feedback, transcendence and where to place a landfall. Also we don't get any self heal, no ability to provide additional armour and killing another player requires at 2-3 seconds of being electrocuted before they die, excluded if you bunch up like morons where you see/hear a Stormcaller coming. Ionic Blink also uses up some our super.
So how about all the people, who main a Hunter or Titan, practice what you preach before calling out nerf again.
Edit 1: The Transcendence perk only makes it last longer. The length of time is ridiculous but once again, it doesn't get any more armour so we're just as easy to kill. It also means we have to sacrifice not using grenades or melee attacks until we have are able to activate our super. We also have to give up some armour, as given by the Feedback Perk, due to the Transcendence Perk choice.
Edit 2: after doing a little testing on the length of time of the Stormcaller perk, here are my results.
Length of Super without Transcendence:
• 15 seconds, without using attack or blink
• 13 seconds, with using attack
Length of Super with Transcendence:
• 25 seconds, without using attack or blink
• 23 seconds, with using attack
So therefore transcendence provides another 10 seconds of super. That is pretty ridiculous, so I propose a counter proposal, to reduce the time of which the Transcendence Perk provides to 5 seconds rather than 10. It still makes the perk worthwhile but not long enough to palpetine hands people twice, unless it's a small map.

I don't know, I guess that's kind of the point of the super, but I get pretty frustrated if there's two stormcallers on a team, and they basically alternate their supers and team wipe repeatedly. Also, the duration is actually -blam!-ing long enough that I can revive, and then get killed by the same guy whose super is still -blam!-ing active. Anyhow, I'm not going to argue for the nerf because I don't think it's that OP. Just ranting because it can be frustrating.

2 RespuestasLol oh it's coming though, new hunter and Titan subclasses get balanced, now they will balance Storm caller
-
11 RespuestasEditado por NickzOR: 1/9/2016 5:47:36 AMNah it needs a nerf, I've never been one to ask for things NERFED but it does, me and my mate both have warlocks and after playing a good hour of mayhem rumble it was pretty obvious it's a little over powered, not even just that, just in general a lot of people say It needs a nerf, if anything it last a bit too long
-
Typically it's people with no warlock requesting the nerfs. Lack of first hand experience with it and all.
-
I think StormCaller is perfectly balanced, it does a good bit of damage but you are not too hard to kill, a glass canon.
-
6 RespuestasNah, let them nerf it. That will put gunslinger in sight for the next subclass nerf and I wanna see the utter chaos that comes from that.
-
I main a Warlock 90% of the time and the Stormcaller is in no way balanced. Its super lasts entirely too long. Other than that the class is awesome but I get killed by a Stormcaller who popped his super on the other side of the map...
-
I average around 5-6 kills per Stormtrance HAHAHA Like literally.
-
Juat the time one stormcallers cause I snipe sunsingers all day long
-
4 Respuestas"Scissors are OP, Rock is balanced." ~ Paper

Not everyone can snipe. The only way to one shot a stormcaller is a sniper..... What is u have a shotgun? Sunbreakers can be killed with shotgun mele now not the same with Stormcaller. I'm sorry but it is overpowered and you have to accept it. The sad part is when bungie does nerf it it will be like the Sunbreaker and become almost completely useless and there are now a lot of stormcaller in the crucible now..... Because it is very effective. No one can get close enough to get a kill and the chaining perk allows u to get kills even if the other guy is floating high in the air. That super is very slightly OP not at the level of Sunbreaker but yeah it is slightly OP
-
It can shock you through walls. That's my 2 cents.
-
3 RespuestasIt's not. Warlocks are completely imbalanced, burn way to long, overshield on hit not kill, same shield as hos used to have. 35 second super, sorry it will be next class
-
26 RespuestasThe only thing it needs is a reworking of Transcendence. You can't honestly tell me that a 26-second, blinking super is balanced when other roaming supers last much shorter and sacrifice time for kills. Literally EVERY OTHER ASPECT IS BALANCED.
-
It balanced Stop the salt
-
Nerf it like they nerfed everyone else Ruin pve more
-
Nah lasts too long.
-
Make me
-
It does last a bit too long. The only reason people are noticing it now is because the sunbreakers were overpowered and could one shot them before, and sunbreakers were running around left and right. Now that people have moved to other classes, storm callers are run left and right and have become the new OP super.
-
Nerf them! Nerf them I say!

Editado por WHlTEG0ULD: 1/9/2016 4:37:24 AMI love when stormcallers are on my team. They always seem to use it when I'm about to be killed.
-
4 RespuestasEditado por WhiskeyHotel: 1/9/2016 2:41:34 AMOkay. Give sun bros and bladedancer a lengthening perk like Transcendence and let's see how much YOU bitch.
-
4 RespuestasActually that is untrue all of the hunters armor while using there supers is terrible
