Nova warp is actually useless now

I knew the super needed a nerf but after playing a few matches its not even worth using anymore. It takes longer to charge now and it barely last 7-8 seconds. Moving slower allows anyone to escape now which means getting kills is almost impossible, for some reason you still get taken away a lot of super for even blinking once so whats the point of even using the blink from the super? The super seriously got gutted and yet I still see blade barrage dominating like its all good, well whatever for anyone wanting to try nova warp, don’t bother. Dawnblade is the new best super for warlocks Edit: just found out the devour perk got secretly nerfed, wow another reason to never try the bottom tree nova bomb lol. Edit#2: so I’ve seen some really nice ideas on the forums that really awesome players have given as feedback and If I was to balance the nova warp I would have massively reduced the armor, reduced the speed when holding a charge and obviously not allowing the nova warp to kill through walls. If the super lasted too long then the 6 second cool down nerf was needed however the blink now cant even be used, the blink should not take away a crazy amount of super as it does now. So I leave it to bungie to decide wether to leave the super cool down as it is and buff the blink so it takes a lot less super or buff the super back to however long (maybe a little less obviously) it lasted and leave the blink as it is since it takes a tremendous amount of super for even using it once. These are just my ideas to balance the class, I know a lot of players feel different and rather never see nova warp again but I am a huge believer of balance and viability. I don’t want warlocks to be the best class, I want all classes to be insanely good in their own right.

    • I main and lock and have since D1 beta. I understood how powerful nova warp was and it did need a nerf to balance it but in typical bungle fashion they can’t balance. It’s one extreme or the other. The super is now completely useless. Since the nerf I have not seen one warlock using it in pvp or pve.

      • At the same time the nerf Nova Warp into useleness, Hunters are in these maps casting non stop blade barrages. Just saw a player that had nearly instantaneous nonstop barrages. WTF

        • I don’t understand why hunters have a lot of armor while in super? But some how nova warp a super where you move slow and charge up has like no armor? I get melted instantly by one guy hella fast. Now clowns that are going to say something about golden gun, golden gun is a ohk max range/aim assist hit scan super.

            Devour want nerfed at all. And 7-8 seconds? It lasts 15+ seconds while HOLDING THE CHARGE.

            • This is what happens when you ask for nerfs. You'd think the player base would have learned that after 4+ years of nerfs by Bungo. I guess common sense isn't very common in this community.

                • Honestly the only thing that needed a nerf for that super was the DISTANCE of the warp. If you have 3+ teammates you can kill a nova warp warlock. The time was a bit long, but not to the point where it was unreasonable. The problem with nova warp that other supers didn’t have was that it was a guaranteed death. You couldn’t run from it like you can other supers. But they went a bit overboard with all the other nerfs to it. Also yeah, no nova warp through walls because that is ridiculous.

                    • I already gathered all the video footage that I needed to make my YouTube videos so the Nova Warp nerf doesn't bother me.

                    • I’ll say what I’ve been saying since I got forsaken. Nova warp needed a nerf, however to range only. Damage was fine, nova warp should absolutely be able to kill in one blast, however not at the range it used to. Now it’s going at the range it should always have been at if not less, and doesn’t kill in a single blast within that radius like it should.

                      • R.I.P Nova warp I'll miss you. What happened to baby step nerfs bungie? They trashed it drop kicked it to the curb. I used to run away from it now I just turn around and shoot it.

                          I don't feel bad at all because it was previously the most dominant super in the game. You could warp around the entire map, wipe the enemy team completely and then even start killing the respawns. Maybe it's just me, but I'm of the opinion that nobody should ever be killed twice by the same exact super. If this is happening, then the super is too powerful and/or the respawn location is terrible.

                          • Eh. Not necessarily disagreeing, but warlocks are the undisputed kings of PvE. Unlike PvP skill can only carry you so far in end game PvE. The amount of groups that will only take warlocks is ridiculous. Two warlocks can Legit complete scourge of the past. I very much doubt two hunters or two titans could do it.

                              • Yep,it's useless in PVE and PVP. PVE it was decent for add clear. Luke Smith straight up lied about making PVP changes without affecting PVE being a priority. Hard to trust Bungie when it's franchise director has a lying tongue. Downloading the Anthem demo as we speak...

                                    • I think it's time for us warlocks to find a different game to play for I fear the warlock will never be restored to its glory days in d1. D2 warlocks have been utter trash until forsaken and now bungie has put us back in that hole. It's going to be another 6 months before we get anything tuned. It's time.
