Tired of Getting Mechanically Shafted, Bungie
I am [b]so[/b] freaking tired of getting continually mechanically shafted as a Warlock.
I'm not talking about armor or weapon nerfs. No, I'm talking about:
• [b]Cataclysm Nova Bomb can be shot down by enemies/other players.
• Suspension grenade for Strand can be shot down by enemies.
• Child of the Old Gods can be shot down.
• Stasis Turret can be shot down[
• 90% of the grenades can one-shot the warlock that threw them - more often than any other classes throwing them at the same close-range.
• Stasis slow that you just so CONVENIENTLY decided to give to literally every damn enemy nearly; especially Taken Knights in the Legend Lost Sector on Dreaming City today, [i]disables[/i] gliding which makes it [i]hell[/i] getting out of the slow as a warlock or a titan.
• Gliding movement [i]STILL[/i] suffers from slam momentum BS - slamming into walls, being thrown 400 miles away because you happened to be gliding by as the boss hits you - because literally [i]every[/i] enemy has the lazy lazy lazy design of 'stomping' anyone in melee range.[/b]
Literally almost every cool 'feature' of each warlock subclass except the Arc Soul can be shot down by enemies and other players in pvp alike. It's [b]ridiculous[/b] and shouldn't be a damn thing at all. Player projectiles and stationaries should not be able to be blasted down --- the projectiles is just BS and the stationary summons are meant to be area denial the enemies/other players should be forced to wait out.
But more infuriating than that BS is the anti-Gliding design to nearly every aspect of the damn combat design. If you hate Warlocks and Titans having a gliding movement so damn bad you need to make practically everything interact negatively with it (slams, momentum, the slightest gust of wind, an unlucky fart that escapes you) just give everyone the same damn movement. I'm sick of constantly feeling punished as a Warlock for just using my basic mechanics and having the game literally being designed around shooting them down or countering them instead of them actually be [b]useful[/b].

u can always play another char if u don't like your warlock.

1 ReplyWarlock have the best movement in the game tbh

1 ReplyPoor sad wizards, always getting the short end. Best regards, A Titan main, I actually went Hunter this year, I feel weird and stupid now.
-
The self entitlement is unreal… warlocks are literally ability ‘the class’ rn and you want more buffs smfh…
-
So child of the old gods should be an invincible death bubble? No.
-
i just see skill issue in this post, warlock is a fantastic class for pvp, if you know how to use it obv
-
Thought mechanical shafting was something entirely different. *slowly gets up and leaves* sorry sorry
-
Um, no. Those abilities are vary powerful. Also nova bomb can get shot down because every super can be canceled by something else. No super has immortality, so stop crying. [spoiler]nibbles crayon[/spoiler]

Jet Set WillyIt’s all going concording to plan 😂🤣 - old
Yes. A mechanical shafting has no emotion. A manual shafting is far superior. -
12 RepliesPretty much all of this is functioning exactly as it should. Warlock jump is 100% the worst in the game, but the complaints listed above (stomped mid-jumped, stasis slow taking your jump ability) are things that happen to the other classes while using their jump abilities too, not just warlocks. [quote]Player projectiles and stationaries should not be able to be blasted down --- the projectiles is just BS and the stationary summons are meant to be area denial the enemies/other players should be forced to wait out.[/quote] I won't get into how insane this is and how poorly it would play. I'll just say thank whatever deity you choose that Bungie doesn't ascribe to this belief and doesn't make their game this way.

1 ReplyAnyone who says the Warlock jump is the worst takes massive amounts of copium, daily. Clear skill issue, there's just no way around it. [i]Anywayyy[/i]... Grapple/ID makes getting booped irrelevant. Ofc our projectiles/turrets can get clapped, what would be the trade-off otherwise? Killing yourself with an object that [i][b]explodes[/b][/i] because you were too close to it, is not the games fault.

I'm a warlock main and these are fine If they couldn't be shut down they would be problematic
-
You’re crazy
-
Your class has practically become a requirement to be on every raid team for the past 5 years, all of your subclasses can be cheesy except arc, you have the most brainless build in the game on top of that, and you complain about Bungie not favoring you.

15 RepliesAs someone who owns and tries to actually play all three characters on a semi-equal basis, I despise how Warlock movement is in regards to Glide. If I had any idea how Blink functioned I would use it instead, but Titan and Hunter movement in any sort of situation that requires verticality is just boundlessly better. Strafe glide on Warlock is pretty nice if you used it solely for forward dashing by spamming it, but the moment I come up to a gap or anything of the sort I literally have to stop moving altogether, measure and actually prejump before trying to glide so that I don’t just start falling straight down, hit my head on the ledge and fall to my death. It’s like there’s always a weight tied to my Warlock’s ankles that drags her down and she has to muster cosmic forces to not fall and die. Meanwhile, the other two classes have the equivalent of jetpacks and jetboots.

[quote]I'm not talking about armor or weapon nerfs.[/quote] Of course not because when was the last time Warlock exotics got nerfed? I can't even remember. All Warlocks have to do to be useful in a Raid is pick Solar, stand in a Rift while they spam grenades and occasionally cast Well of Radiance. So whilst I agree Warlocks could use buffs in certain subclasses (e.g. Void), abilities (e.g. Stasis shatter) and Supers (e.g. Chaos Reach), they don't have it nearly as bad as Titans, who have had abilities AND exotics nerfed left, right and center.
