Warlock is useless

I actually feel like warlock is not even worth it anymore. I’m a warlock main and I NEVER seen my favorite class this weak. I wanna play destiny, on my warlock, and go crazy with abilities that’s NOT auto buddies I have no control over. Bungie never buffing the class real aspects and just expecting us to take a “ New “ exotic armor as just a buff to an aspect. It’s bad design and really makes me feel like the middle child. I already am in real life. I don’t need this. After this TWAB, I will not be coming back until reneges IF warlock is can go against a titan or hunter and actually compete in builds. ALSO FOR THE LOVE GOD, BUFF HEALING RIFT. ITS BEEN THE SAME SINCE D2 LAUNCHED ONLY GETTING NERFS ~ Yours truly. Just here to place a welllock

    necrotic grip, strand melee. oh, and that Thorn hand cannon too! it may not be perfect for every situation, but I'd say it's hella fun to chuck poison everywhere

    • I like running Strand/Necrotic on Prismatic with stats built into melee, while using Techsec Armor for Kinetic, running four armor charges with two Kinetic mods and the Thorn hand cannon eats enemies. Class item is Spirit of Necrotic/Synthoceps. My warlock build didn't change much from last year, the benefit of new armor offering more buffs to the build.

    • When I started playing Warlock, it felt like [i]the[/i] Space Magic class, and over the years it feels like we get a few new fun abilities then shortly afterwards getting nerfed hard enough to stop using altogether. I don't really feel like we have very much uptime on many abilities any longer. I can play on my Hunter and toss Weighted Throwing knives all day long at red bar enemies without firing a shot, or rapid fire Thunderclaps near endlessly on my Titan, but having instant uptime on any Warlock ability is nearly unheard of. Sure you can build into it, but there are always cooldowns or some other tradeoff that needs to happen. I just want to be able to spam abilities, but even Transcendence took a hit to energy return. I would love to see a full return to Starfire Protocol without having to jump through hoops, or throw tons of Vortex grenades on Contraverse Holds, even back to back Chaos Reaches on Geomags with Coldheart.

      In PVE they are still shoehorned into well No matter how much they nerf well, Warlocks only have one roll in Endgame Really limits Warlocks fun, why I don't play on my lock much anymore, the communities reliance on the safety circle is killing the class Bungie, either remove well, or add team support to Titan and Hunter Exotics, like Citan Ramparts allows you and your team to shoot through ward of dawn, sixth coyote changes teather to attach to teammates granting them devour and giving them an overshield

      Buddy spam is reddit and youtube shorts nonsense, hoil/syntho with lightning surge devour is the actual best build on warlock and speakers sight on solar with benevolence is still incredibly strong for underlevelled content despite the shadow nerfs

      • 200 super nova is kinda nuts. Or 200 class threadweavers. You do you. If your team tells you to well, swap to chaos reach instead. Have fun.
