You know bungie hates warlocks. They will never make such changes. Look at how they've left nova warp.

Bungie hate warlocks Thats why they have the best pvp skill tree for a year now
-
They buffed Nova Warp twice. Now it’s on the players. It’s pretty effective in PvP if you take the time to actually learn the subclass. I pretty much use the subclass path exclusively when I play Warlock in PvP.
-
What other buff did they give it besides reduced blink cost and an abysmal damage reduction? Cuz I don't see it

Cuz I don't see it[/quote] They buffed the duration back up to 25s (from 18s to 22s. Then 22s to 25. That’s basically the same duration as prenerf Nova Warp) and reduced the drain cost when holding a charge. They also reduced how long it takes to charge a blast (it now take 0.7s to charge it) Also the damage resistance hardly matters. I compared the damage resistance levels not to long ago and they hardly make a difference. Each level from 54.4% to 51% took 6 headshots from a 140 Handcannon to die. If you can’t make the super work in PvP that’s on you now.

The Speed debuff you get when activiting the Super since your jump doesn't Work, and Blink is ineffectual now at catching up. And Ooh, does it have the ability to use the Charge Mid Blink again? -- Why have I been nerfed from a Space Wizard to a Space Scrub?

I tested how fast the super moves normally in comparison to other supers by timing how long it took each super to cross a certain amount of distance. Nova Warp, when moving normally, moves about as fast as every other roaming super. When paired with blink + dark blink you cover ground pretty much faster than every super in the game except for maybe behemoth. You can easily catch up to anyone with Nova Warp when using that movement combo. Throw on Astrocyte and you’re basically inescapable unless you’re on small maps like Cauldron. To be quite frank the only issue with this super is that it ends when you try to do a charged explosion when you have 1/8 of your super left since the act of charging takes the remaining energy.

I was never a fan of it to begin with but when were these changes made? I don't ever remember seeing a twab where they introduced these changes.

Edited by Ghostfire239: 12/26/2020 12:39:33 AMOne was in Arc week, the second was in Season of the worthy I believe. A lot of people aren’t aware of these changes or straight up over look them. Some people even get mad if you tell them about these changes
-
I remember the changes where they reduced blink cost and gave it slightly more armor but I never heard or saw about the other changes

I was unaware of the arc week changes but now that I know this I will have to test it out.

The super takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it it’s becomes pretty effective. Not to mention that it’s incredibly fun. You probably already know these but I thought I’d tell you anyway: Use the Dark blink + Blink combo (Special K Dude has some good videos on that) Use Astrocyte to help the combo above Or Use Necrotic grips to get ohk melee since Atomic Breach does a lot of damage and the damage of time from Necrotic Grips is enough to finish off most players

i love how people whine and say nw is useless/ (yet dont try it).. its good. (not great) but good

Edited by Redemption-3: 12/25/2020 3:44:30 PMI agree they killed Nova Warp. We can only try and hope for the best.
