Warlock melee [b]not abilities[/b] has much larger range than all the other classes.
It's also a semi AOE, it hits in a [b]area[/b] in front and to the sides of the user rather than just a direction. The area in which the attack takes effect only effects a single person at a given time, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a AOE (area of effect).
The warlock melee is much easier to land hits with. Not only that, the warlock melee has zero travel time, while the blink strike must lunge towards the opponent.
Guaranteeing that in a melee battle, not only will the warlock have the easiest time aiming their melee attack. Their melee is guaranteed to hit first.
This makes it [b]extremely[/b] easy to use, and instead of it requiring skill, people just spam it.
I even see people spam their melee after they have shot a bullet, even if the enemy is already dead, just in case. A warlock even once told me, that he calls his melee, his second shotgun.
[b]Base[/b] Warlock melee: longer range + AOE + no travel time = unbalanced
Plain and simple.
Edit 1: Another problem the [b]base[/b] warlock melee is even more effective and reliable than even the blink strike for the hunter. Which is an [b]ability[/b] with a [b]cooldown[/b].
That is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

No more nerfs. Just bring the other 2 classes base melee up to the range of the warlock. Just give them a lunge instead of magic.

L...m...a...o... I love scortch

Sure it was necro bumped but whatever this is stupid. It is balanced with a slower attack speed. And no it's not a guaranteed win with it. I've dukes it out plenty and a hunter can get 2 hits in to my one. And every character can do the melee/shotgun combo. It's just common sense. Works better if you're a gunslinger with knives which can precision kill half way across the room AND cause damage over time, don't even need the gun. I know you said you're talking about melee not abilities. But damage over time IS an ability, so I also went against your definitions. Not all of us want 3 identical classes

1 ReplyIt's common knowledge that you don't engage a warlock in CQB because you'll lose, dude. It's what they do best. DeeJ, please don't change it, it's fine the way it is.
-
Man up and quit bitching, get better and don't go cqb with a badass space wizard and you won't die, you're probably the guy that runs around with a shotgun out all the time. That's why you're getting worked over.
-
I've played all classes and warlocks have the most range with their melee but Titans and hunters can punch and stab much faster.
-
3 RepliesHere comes the horde of people to claim getting throwing knife kills is easy... Look at it this way, every other class has a 1 shot melee ability in some form other than the hunter. The fact that a throwing knife to the head isn't a 1 hit kill is stupid. It clearly deserves the kill over a shoulder charge or scorch melee.

Edited by StealthGunner97: 12/29/2014 7:10:29 AMdude the warlock melee does not need to be nerf it gives them something to defend themselves while the titan and the hunter have 2 subclasses that are good the warlock ones suck i have avoided the warlock nova bomb several times and shut warlocks down from self ressurection while the titan i can not get away from their fist of havoc or the hunters blade dancer and golden gun you guys need to stop complaining about warlocks people seem to love and want them for raids
-
All I ever read is NERF warlocks like dude -blam!- off and play the damn class it isn't broken I play all 3 they are fine. They all have ups and downs how about you time and learn all the God damn movements.
-
Why not nerf your penis length while your at it?
-
NERF EVERYTHING EVERYTHING! Create an infinite cycle of replacement that will fix PVP it always does! Like 0% of the time...
-
if every class was the same...then what's the -blam!-ing point in having different classes???? Life isn't fair. ...but at least in Destiny you can choose your path and pick what kind of gaurdian you want...typical kid crying about something petty

2 RepliesEdited by Manchild659: 12/29/2014 1:52:39 AMSimple fix; BS made to 7 meters The aoe part of Palm is just the replacement for hunter and Titans heat seeking type of tracking ( seriously if you're in the air as a hunter anyone directly beside, below or above will get hit) Also, a more serious issue is storm fists extra damage is a turd and all its perks do is make it shinier
-
No to this.

3 RepliesHey OP while you're at it can you ask them to nerf titan defense? I can't one hit kill with my hunter's melee. Thx
-
You're just another whining bitch, of course the classes have different melee, hunter has long ass range and one hit kill melee, as well as a throwing knife? The titan has its overload fists or whatever you call them that cause area of effect, stop bitching because you don't have a warlock yourself or you're just plain garbage at PvP with one

1 ReplyTo do that is insane the worlock class was built around that how about people stop asking for nurf this or that you forget bungie nerfs it for pvp it also gets a nurf in pve

7 RepliesSure the warlock range is a bit ridiculous but a area of affect (aoe) what are you one? The only time that can happen is when we have either equipped bloom or something to make scorch victims explode. And just because we want to make sure our enemy is dead right after we fire bullets inside someone doesn't make us op, just shows that we are smarter to make sure people may not have survived. This is coming from a experienced warlock.
