Frankly, it's not that SB needs a nerf... but more that the constant chaining of attacks needs to stop.
Arcstaff and Sentinel have this. You do 2-3 attacks then you have a animation recovery (or a short stop) to do 2-3 attacks again.
SB is just [u]so fast and hard af to hit[/u] while constantly attacking.
You should be able to rapidly attack 2-3 times and kill a group of people in a small room or hallway.
But you should not be able to [u]constantly attack[/u] all the way to each and every single target; using attacks themselves as your main mobility option.
Other than the spam, I think the super is fine. The spam just needs a cut off point after 2-4 attacks in the animations before resetting and giving a moment of stability to be shot at (again, like Arcstrider or Sentinel).
It's nearly impossible to shut down a spamming SB that's weaving back and forth at your team (unless you have a lot of linear room).

You're missing the point. If the movement speed wasn't complete ASS people wouldn't swipe everywhere.

I feel like you're projecting a point. And isn't it the same speed as every other super? Pretty sure it is.

[quote]I feel like you're projecting a point. And isn't it the same speed as every other super? Pretty sure it is.[/quote] It's the same speed but with less range, so the only way to effectively chase down and kill targets is with the light attack. Sentinels have the frisbee, strikers have the shoulder charge, burning maul is AoE, stormtrance has range, all the other warlock supers (except nova warp) have projectiles. Even the arc staff has better range and hitreg. Take the light attack and it'll probably kill the super. What it needs is MUCH less armor (so does every other super, imo) and a few seconds off the duration.

I would be fine with this if they gave it a speed boost as it kinda needs the light attacks to be able to catch up with people.

I think after 3-4 swipes you should automatically do the heavy attack but it costs less than just the heavy attack would. That way there would be some sort of stop. Or do it like arc staff and just stop it after a few swipes.
