I wish you could choose between Solar 3.0 and classic. Classic bottom Tree Dawnblade with Dawn Chorus is better than what we have now for ad clear and damage.

They nerfed Dawnblade by removing Everlasting Flame (extended super on kills) and the Truth level of tracking AND on top of that they Nerfed Dawn Chorus so now you can’t even use it for dps??? So it’s bad at ad clearing/crowd control and it’s bad at single target damage, and it has a Tier 4 cooldown!? Bungie ruined Dawnblade.

They nerfed it way too hard cause of PVP rendering it utterly useless in PVE. It got that Stasis Behemoth treatment lol.

Bungie essentially made it so the only super worth using on DawnBlade is Well of Radiance, especially if you main Starfire stickies. Day Break is terrible for endgame and it's terrible in general. If you are going to run Dawnblade, just use Well or heck, Agars Scepter would be a better "super" waster. Think about it. 1 (let me reiterate) just 1 touch of flame sticky not only scorches and ignites, but it does nearly 2 to even 3x the damage of 1 Day Break projectile. A single Day Break projectile hit against the lost sector boss Carl the Cabal, does around 20k-25k assuming everything hits. The ignition from the fusion grenade itself does almost 20k and that's not even counting the 2 sets of damage from each explosion and the scorch burn it also applies. It also frees your hands so you can dump extra damage if you want to. Day Break is bad for ad clearing as well. It takes sometimes 2-3 hits just to kill 1 major whereas a sticky can 1 shot them and cause an ignition that usually kills everything else around them. As long as you have a rift, you can spam stickies like there's no tomorrow, hell, you don't ever need the Well for that. Then the biggest problem, (aside from the fact you need to run 3 fragments just to make it actually good at clearing ads) Day Break CANT scorch enemies. So unless you main Dawn Chorus (which doesn't help that much either) your super can't do any burn damage whatsoever. The only thing Day Break is good for is speed running or getting somewhere real quick in Pvp, but why would you waste a super for that when Heat Rises + Icarus dash are options? Or if you feel like wasting 3 fragments, give it better tracking, all super final blows cause ignition and ignitions spread scorch then you'll have a fine pvp super or an easy way to finish that stupid scorch kill bounty. 😉 For what it does Well has the fastest cooldown in the game next to bubble whereas DayBreak has what, almost a 9 min cooldown? It does less damage than a fusion grenade and feels like a wet noodle. It barely does anything better than Shadebinder or Nova Warp and those supers can chain freeze and explosions without needing additional fragments or an exotic. Day Break needs some love and I'd recommend at least these 2 changes. - Daybreak projectiles scorch on hit by default. It's a solar super with a flaming sword... No way this doesn't scorch but my little finger snaps can.. I don't buy that for a second. [spoiler]Have Dawn Chorus make it cause ignition on hit so it'll basically have the same Damage boost it had prior where your burn applied the weaken effect. [/spoiler] - ignition multikills extend the supers duration [spoiler]in the same vain as a Titan in a sunspot or a Hunter with his 6 shooter [/spoiler] If these don't work... Bring back Heart of Praxic Fire and have it's exotic trait be "replaces super with Viking Funeral" Let it basically just give you infinite melee (if you are on Day Break) or Infinite Grenade (if you're on Well) energy as your super. Finger snapz for days. TRIPMINES for days.

Yeah dawnblade igniting enemies on kill shouldn’t require a fragment. Dawnblade scorching targets on hit shouldn’t require an exotic. Both should be built into dawnblade, because if not I’ll just stick to well unless I’m playing crucible. I’m fine with it not being great for boss damage, but it’s sucks as an add clear too and there’s no reason to use it unless you build into it. Now building into a super to make it much more powerful is fine, but needing to build into a super just for it to be usable? It’s absurd.

DawmBlade is the entire sub class. Daybreak is what you were thinking of. A bunch of people are going to be replying to this post angry because they don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Edit the post to say daybreak.

Solar warlock only has 2 modes, dawnblade for PvP or well for PvE. If your playing it any other way you are playing it wrong. Switch to void for nova bombs if you want to do boss dmg with a super.

It is comical seeing the discussions on D2 nerfs and buffs. I remember when Dawnblade was only viable PVP and got nerfed because x2 Icarus Dash made hunters sad. …but stompees, x2 dodge, shatterdive was cool.

Then they had the [i]temerity[/i] to make it have a longer base cooldown than Shadebinder lmao! Nova bomb needs a damage buff too. It's lagging way behind the other 1 and done supers. If this is what Light 3.0 is giving, then I weep for the upcoming shitshow that's going go be "Arc 3.0".

I saw Cross's vid on top damagins supers and Dawnblade was comically bad. Like, at the very bottom by itself bad. It def needs a buff, no question about it. I couldn't believe how bad it was.

I also need love, but you don't see me post about it.... Now, about synthoceps nerf, that's some bs

It's an add clear super and for boss damage you have the dawn chorus exotic helmet, which turns it into a dps super.

Dawnblade already has a really good duration. It also can swing 7-8 times (can't remember the exact number, but I know it's one of these 2). The problem with it in pve is that they do no damage. That was a problem with sunbreaker as well, but now we have access to things like roaring flames and they threw the embers onto it so the super is always extra lethal now. Dawnblade might need more than just damage, maybe some stuff to help better with add clear.
