Well warlocks don't have a shoulder charge or blink strike so it's balanced
-
But still they should at least kill the opponent then get the scorch shield not just get it when it hits
-
Defenders shield requires kill because its a stronger shield than flame shield, which is much weaker. Also, defenders can proc it with a shotgun kill (which is easier than a melee kill)
-
Defenders have to get up in there to fist them and shotgun them where as warlocks have sniper for hands

Only real sniping is with stormcallers extra reach melee perk (cant remember name), although I prefer using the extra energy acquiring perk. Try extra melee range and feedback, thats when it is actually sniping, otherwise, its not going to kill very fast.
