When Void does everything better.
Pound for pound Void is simply better in design, survival ability, power fantasy, and fun. Void does everything better from endgame PVE to PVP.
Arc does none of this. Nades are not as good, Ionic traces are not as good as devour, and both supers are awful.
Solar marginally better but is a one trick pony. Stasis is a close second to Void and is better all around than Arc/solar but the king is still Void.
I don't understand how Bungie got it right with Warlock Void and so wrong with Arc??????? (Arc hunters and Titans are really good)

sorry i gotta say it, solar well lock with starfire and fusions is still the best DPS. No cap..... Arc warlocks melee teleportation in pvp is nutty as hell. Warlocks are the "support class" in most situations. Warlocks are about their neutral game and space magic. That being said their abilities like nades and melees should be strong for those situations. Their supers are kind of lack luster in their own ways but their abilities in the neutral game are the best tbh. If we talk about DPS for the titan and the hunter on their respective arc classes they have to proc their supers and go through their animation taking time away from firing their weapons, so to make up for that those supers are a bit stronger. In that time that they are doing those animations a skilled warlock could have thrown 3 nades and shot 5 rounds of reeds into oryx. Which one is doing the most at that point? Im not saying that one class is superior to another, each character has their positions and roles. Its how you play them in the end. Everyone can put up hella numbers on the board no matter the class. Arc just came out and im sure that they are aware of certain things that require buffs and nerfs. Just let them do their thing and start looking at new builds in the mean time. You can be a menace on any character. :)
