Agreed, I understand from the balancing standpoint why Bungie is hesitant to allow Warlocks to excel in anything other than support or add clear, but it causes a great deal of the class’s draw backs and frustrations with the feeling of warlocks as a whole. I reached a point back in season of the haunted, that I kinda just wish Well was never introduced, or was heavily nerfed or even removed; because ever since it was introduced warlocks have only ever been paying for it.
Agreed, well became such a necessity for other classes to shine, while a lot of warlock mains like myself are then restricted to Divinity and Well roles 24/7. And only after endgame am I really allowed to explore what I actually love, like Dawn Chorus Dawnblade, contraverse hold devour lock, Crown of Tempests Stormtrance, so on and so forth. I can’t consistently do anything except well when the encounter starts as the teammates always say, “Do we have Well covered?”
