Is bungie afraid to actually buff warlock exotics?
At this point it's getting ridiculous. They refuse to give us active exotics like anteous, gryfalcons etc. But at the same time refuse to buff or rework 90% of warlock exotics that actually need it. I don't understand the design choices that the devs are choosing for warlocks exotics.
Every expansion I hope that they'll actually change them to something useful but no, at best we'll get on or 2 exotics that buff neutral gameplay as per usual.
There is no reason exotics like Vesper of radius, winters guile, dawn chorus, karnstein armless, apthosesis veil, Vesper wings of sacred dawn, sanguine, stormbracers, lunafactions, geomags, etc are all this obsolete this far into the games life cycle. Warlocks have literally had the same top 3 exotics in crucible for the past 2+ years and that is ridiculous, the fact that devs dont see this as a problem is strange to me and shows us that they dont really care about it.This is a design issue at this point and I doubt it's going to get better with lightfall.
Yes, they should be. In fact they should actually be getting to nerfing some of them or buffing other classes exotics.
[b]Warlocks strong exotics for PvE[/b]
Starfire Protocol
Osmiomancy Gloves
Crown of Tempests (Literally works on any subclass if you have a voltshot weapon)
Nezarec's Sin
Rain of Fire (Literally a better hunter dodge as it has a 4 second cooldown and reloads ALL of your weapons)
Contraverse Hold (Literally feeds into itself)
Verity's Brow (Allows you to double the damage of your grenades while simultaneously getting better grenade regen and giving nearby allies better grenade regen when you use a grenade)
Mantle of Battle Harmony (Literally gives you extra super energy for weapon kills then at full super gives you a weapon damage boost instead.)
[b]Hunter's strong PvE exotics[/b]...
Star-Eater Scales and that's it.
Gyrfalcons got nerfed with now no longer having the damage buff and then they nerfed the volatile effect completely because 1-2 guns fired too fast and did a bit too much damage with volatile.
The only other outliers are only ever relevant in GM content I.E. Omnioculous and maybe Assassin's Cowl?
[b]Titan's strong PvE exotics[/b]...
HoIL
Synthoceps
Cuirass of the Falling Star
Does this seem disproportionate to you?
