While I cannot for the life of me imagine what idiotic solarlock would give up self-resurrection into an omnipowered superbeing in exchange for a sword that only hits things some of the time, we do know that how the Light is used changes all the time.
In the old days, there were no Hunters, Warlocks, or Titans. People just kinda used the Light however was most effective for them at the time.
And as time went on, it turned into the current way of things. So it's just that people keep finding more effective, or more efficient, uses of the Light. Ward of Dawn used to be the only way Defenders could use the Light. Now, Defenders are Sentinels who have learned to harness their Light in offensive ways too.
Again, I have no IDEA how instant self-resurrection into an omnipowerful superbeing is less effective OR less efficient than a flaming sword that only hits its target some of the time...But apparently it is. =_=

To be fair... self res was basically all it had.

To be fair, in THIS game, self-rez makes more sense than dawnblade.

We're supposed to be more powerful in this game than the last one. How exactly is forming a flaming sword with your Light that can fire blasts of solar energy more powerful than flat out refusing to die, jumpstarting your life with your own Light, and supercharging every aspect of your power instantly AFTER your body has been destroyed, vaporized, or whatever other form of death you've been dealt? Explain to me how self-revival through sheer will and attunement with the Light is less powerful than a sword. On top of that, Warlocks are supposed to be space wizards. And their most powerful, most popular super....is a melee weapon made out of solar Light? Really? In what universe does the wizard being a swordsman make more sense than the brawler or the speedfighter being a swordsman?

But i assume they just removed for the sake of balance. Well, it is a magic sword that throws fire. Thats very magical to me.

Nothing about melee weapons fits the wizard class. You don't choose wizard to play with swords. You choose wizards to sling around raw universe stuff
-
Eh, its not really a meele weapon. Its very easy to say its a magic sword.
-
A sword is a melee weapon. Regardless of its use, its design is meant to be used in melee combat. Saying "but it's a MAGIC sword!" doesn't change that. Excalibur was a magic sword, it was still a melee weapon. The Master Sword is a magic sword. It's still a melee weapon. A sword is a sword is a sword. Ultimately, it's one of the least wizard-y things you can use. Warlocks should never have melee weapons, even if they are "magic" weapons. We manipulate energy, and the universe around us. There is no reason a sword should be our most powerful ability.
-
Its a meele weapon, that uses its magic power to create a "slash" of solar light, covering a distance a normal sword wouldnt, because its magic. The problem solved itself

Explain to me why that is stronger than Nova Warp, why it's stronger than Stormcaller? The dumbass who spent his life learning to make a sword out of Light is somehow stronger than the one who learned to detonate the matter around them like a hyper-condensed gravity bomb AND the dude who can harness the power of fission to create lightning and super-accelerated energy in the form of raw power? And lore-wise, how does dawnblade make sense at all? What warlock thought "yknow what we need? a SWORD. That shoots FIRE WAVES out of it." instead of thinking "man, remember NAPALM? What if we could just...do that. With out hands."
-
I dont know, im not the guy that made it. I always assumed chaos reach was the strongest warlock subclass.
-
It should be. And yet it's consistently outclassed by top tree dawn because of neutral game and the super. There is no reason for top tree dawn to be as strong as it is and whoever thought the solar class deserved to be better than literal gravity or fission manipulation is an idiot.
-
Are you conflating pvp and pve?
-
No, referring specifically to PvP. I tend to forget to consider PvE, since nobody actually cares about PvE. People in this community only care about the rewards from pve, not the pve itself. So I don't tend to consider it when talking about this stuff.

Editado por Evilman520: 6/9/2021 10:23:48 AMSelf res was only good for solo content. Radiant Skin was way better. Could take anything that wasn't a super or a rocket, and paired with something like Red Death you were impossible to beat in a gunfight for those 20 seconds This isn't even talking about Flame Shield, Touch of Flame, and Viking Funeral.
