Trials of the Warlock...but without Warlocks

≠============== Longish post so the TLDR is to see this link. https://guardian.gg/2/class-stats?platform=console&mode=5&start=2019-11-01&end=2020-02-17 Now please select KAD and uncheck all the subclasses except Dawnblade and Nightstalker to highlight the increased divergence. Also note the irony of naming Trials after Warlocks. ≠============= On Reddit, here, and elsewhere we had lengthy in-depth analysis, many posts and volumes of comments on some fundamental problems with PvP warlocks. To reiterate, I play all three classes almost equally now although I main Warlock, and I'm especially looking at Console figures although there is much cross-over between platforms. PC users bear with me. To link just a few, such as: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/dzxxkm/the_warlock_class_needs_to_be_buffed_hunter_and/ My own : https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/254528741?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1 Or : https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/254502808?sort=0&page=0 Key amongst those problems is a poorer melee (technically the result of a botched nerf of which a fix is YEARS late see Fallout Plays https://youtu.be/1b-idKsr0DY ), across the board poorest Super damage resistance (see above posts), a big nerf to bottom tree Dawnblade with an imbalanced lesser-buff to top-tree (see posts) and the massive discrepancy of class cooldown - Hunters up to every NINE SECONDS, Warlocks FORTY-TWO. Then we factor in the fundamentally inferior movement and class abilities for PvP specifically. No highly situational rift is the equal of a dodge or even a barricade (Titans also have definite big problems too but this is about Warlock here) and the slow to start, slow to land, precise movement which is of such PvE benefit is a huge PvP hindrance. Again contrast that to the maneuverability of the Hunter and the sheer thrust of the Titan. Due to all these its no surprise that the Warlock is the LEAST USED class in PvP by far. That must ring alarm bells for the PvP balance team when one class is marginalised and the Hunter is used almost as much as all the Titans and Warlocks COMBINED. Then we have the statistics on efficiency broken down into classes and subclasses. Unlike win rates which may be skewed by popularity, efficiency of a sample group is a reliable indicator of where things are going right and wrong. There we can see the which classes are struggling, which are not balanced. See above post where you can see Arcrider is by far consistently outperforming all the competition. Well we had the Solar reworking to bring balance back to the Force. Except it didn't. And quite factually it made it worse. Please see this link. https://guardian.gg/2/class-stats?platform=console&mode=5&start=2019-11-01&end=2020-02-17 Now please check KAD (Reload page if necessary) and uncheck all the subclasses except Dawnblade and Nightstalker. And you can really see what happened and the overall effect over time of these changes. Immediately [b]the Nightstalker efficiency sky-rockets whilst Dawnblade plummets[/b]. It could not be plainer to see. And looking overtime with the benefits of hindsight we can see Nightstalker has fully maintained that huge boost around 1.336 at 13th Feb 2020. Again in contrast, Dawnblade at the same time is down 1.233 and at best has borderline got back to only the pre-adjustment efficiency. Not really an equal adjustment was it. The gulf between them widened considerably and stabilised even further as a result of those changes - the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. [B]The irony of the "Trials of Osiris - the most powerful Warlock" where the Warlock is statistically and consistently the MOST disadvantaged is more than a bit galling.[/b] So that's where we are facing a new Trials competition. And the only hint of official feedback so far is they're set to nerf the Warlock MORE with Handheld Super nova or Contraverse Hold or both - with its gutted Super, already the least effective Sub-class for Warlock. I'd very much welcome some official response on what on Earth is going on here - these posts take a lot of time and care to write and this is of fundamental PvP importance, much more important than a single weapon or one item needing adjustment for PvP.
