Warlocks. What are you good for?
Everybody says that hunters are useless in pve but what about warlocks? Most warlocks run with sunsinger so they save their super for when they die. Yes they make more orbs than hunters, yes they can self res, but that's it. Also sunsingers are cheese central. ALL cheeses can be done by sunsingers and only a few by titans.
Now voidwalkers, props to you guys for not using the crutch that is self res. And nova bomb is amazing. But then again, what uses do they have in pve? They don't benefit the team like a sunsinger or defender do. Not to mention the warlock jump is horrible.
So persuade me to make a warlock :) and you guys can't bash hunters because that's my main and it won't change my opinion on them.
Edit: Should I make a warlock before or after HoW?
Edit: Thank you everyone for pointing out my mistakes. I did make a warlock before and I didn't like it. And yes, my post is extremely subjective and ignorant. Believe what you want but it was the best way to get responses in this forum. I have noticed that mostly negative posts get responses and it worked. Many of you gave me mixed reviews on how to run the warlock so I'll take them all to account. And the negative comments helped bump my post for more to see so thank you also.
Also, I was thinking of song of flame when I wrote about sunsingers benefitting the team but I didn't say anything about it leaving most of you confused. I apologise.

Personally warlocks are my main. Reasons for that are, as a void walker, I have multiple set ups with my grenades and my nova bombs but I prefer the vortex nades, and vortex nova bomb, line that with Obsidian Mind and Bad Juju. In PvE you are literally a walking nova bomb and nothing will survive. Plus you have energy drain abilities that can either heal you, or speed up the cool down of your nova bomb.

I ran a hunter only and started a warlock last week and have to say they are fun as hell

Edited by Eiddob: 4/30/2015 6:43:33 PMIf you are not using your super until you die when you play as sunsinger, then you are playing the class wrong. Activating the super generates two orbs plus all the additional orbs from kills. Sunsingers can create more orbs than void walkers in one super. OP, warlocks are a fun class to play because they are the most versatile class. Do you want to juju nova bomb everything in existence? Well you can. Do you want to save a team from a wipe, be a hero where it counts or become fire incarnate? Well you can. Warlocks feel smoother to play compared to the other classes. Also, Bungie caters to them the most, so they have the best exotic armor, etc...

As a void walker I agree that sun singers suck it's just for people that die a lot or for nightfall in my opinion with void walker I hen about 500 orbs a raid i feel that if you run void walker you help if your a sun singer then you only help when the fire team is dead in a revive raid or in nightfall but I have saved my raid and my raid buddies so many times with the orbs because of Titan ward of dawns

2 Replies.... Absolutely nothing. Huuuaahh. War...locks. What are you good for? Absolutely nothing! Yeaaeeaah.

Voidwalker has the bloom perk which makes enemies explode after being killed with a melee, grenade, and novabomb. Also their jumps are bad, they just have a different jump some people have to learn to use.
-
2 RepliesFusion grenades. Those stick to everything and are amazing. Also, flame shield. Also, even though you like to bash on self res, if you use self res and use scorch on an enemy unless they have overshield they will instantly die. Also, I think jump is strictly opinion because I hate the hunter's actual jump opposed to the warlocks glide or the titans lift. So yeah take what you will from that and don't completely bash on my opinion because I could have done that to you but I didn't.

They're good for summoning as many over souls as they wish
-
Two words... Space Magic
-
Voidwalker+Obsidian Mind+Bad JuJu Sun singers? They can cheese you all the way to Venus and back again. Got a problem with a debuff? Die and self Rez. Got too many enemies? Die and self Rez.
-
Absolutely nothing. Say it again y'all.
-
Only other class that can blink brah thats a good reason
-
Nova bomb (0-30 seconds later) nova bomb (0-30 seconds later) nova bomb. Never stops! Obsidian mind / void walker with or without bad juju.

1 ReplyIf you haven't made a warlock already, make one now. You have no idea how fun it is to run around with the Obsidian Mind and Bad Juju combo. It's absolutely amazing. My friend and I run strikes both using it and we generate 50+ orbs each, per strike. We are literally killing about 75-85% of all the enemies with Nova Bombs. There is nothing more satisfying than becoming instantly supercharged again after Nova Bombing a large group of enemies.

Warlocks will rule Trial of Osiris. Fireborn, fusion grenade and RAM exotic helmet will be common load out for warlocks.
-
Look at my warlock's exotics and that'll answer your question
-
The cheeses can be done by [b]ALL[/b] 3 classes. Hunters only suck because the supers are crap at max level outside of crucible.

1 ReplyImagine the strength of a Titan and the agility of a hunter. Add blink to that. You have stumbled upon the void walker. Not only are you an agile tank, but have melee abilities at the range of a shotgun. "Bloom" is essentially a firefly the chains on enemies, making unbelievable crowd control. You can possibly choose to hold off an area with a vortex grenade or your nova bomb. Your nova bong can be set to split into projectiles (useful with bloom) to cover more ground. Lifesteal (similar to hungering blade of a hunter ) is yet another melee ability that stacks with bloom. I main a warlock and will never look back at my choice, I play better than most and will continue to embrace the void.

As a void walker I use light beyond nemesis and generate 9 orbs for teammates fairly often and it's orb galore if you use it on the omnigul strike so many swarms of enemies throughout the entire strike plus light beyond nemesis let's me revive your sorry ass faster.
-
Self res is not a clutch most sun slinger warlocks are much more aggressive because they don't fear dieing I runvoidwalker for everything other than raids
-
4 RepliesDon't even bother making one. You say Self Rez is a crutch, and for that you need to snap your disc in half.

Trials of Osiris

Edited by Raksis The Great: 4/30/2015 5:00:13 PM[quote]crutch that is self res[/quote] Yes, saving the nightfall is a crutch, having your invisibility run out when you try to revive someone is for pros only. You give Hunters a bad reputation, be gone foul beast.
-
Don't make one. If you think self res is a crutch and Void Walkers are no benefit, then you need to stick with what you use.

Everything

You listed what? Four things? And how many things can hunters do? FOUR! Case closed.
