Strandlock has literally NO survivability. No, the aspect that rapidly drains your melee energy to take less damage doesn’t count. No, the fragment that gives a measly 5 seconds of woven mail in exchange for running into a group of enemies to collect an orb, does not count.
Bungie, who thought it’d be a good idea to put ALL of strand’s survivability on Titan? Seriously, this needs to be fixed. It’s almost hilarious how nobody on the design team can see this.
Edit: I’ll keep bumping this until Bungie gets the idea. It’s been too long and they don’t seem to care at all.

I have survived a lot using Weavewalk at the right moment, especially when using Monte Carlo to regain your melee charges extremely fast, though a Pugilist weapon can be a decent substitute. Add to that Weaver's Call, and you can quickly escape then come right back after regenerating your health with 8 angry Threadlings to nuke whatever broke your shield. It's not perfect but if you are having issues surviving on Strand as a Warlock, I highly recommend it. That and the suspending builds are very good, as the enemies can't hit you if they are suspended.
