Alright so not tryna be negative towards the artists who work very hard on this game, but I gotta say the Warlock armor for the most part in D2 is severely lacking.
There are absolutely some bright spots as I love the reverie dawn and raid sets as well as the black armory armor, however, there is one thing in common with every single armor set that always disappoints me and it’s the BONDS. (Also that there’s always a large patch of brown on seemingly every armor set that does not change colors with shaders pls bungie)
Hunters get dope ass choices for capes with large creative decorations, Titan’s have sashes with tears and colors in it to show its use and character, and Warlocks best bonds are a rubber band with a nightlight on it.
The class item to me is all about style with the added bonus of some perks and most of the warlock bonds are some sort of armband with a pattern that you can’t see unless you zoom in and the others are some sort of holographic design that you can also barely see.
It just feels like Titans and Hunters get the priority on design and then they remember Warlocks exist lmao, there’s so much potential with bonds you can make a taken one that flows down my whole arm or some feckin wings or like lava to represent the forge fires BE CREATIVE TAKE RISKS!

Ay loving all the responses to this haha I was just throwing it out there and it's nice to see people share the same opinion. I exclusively use the ancient apocalypse bond with the giant hawk and I would love to see more extravagant decorative bonds embracing all of the magic and craziness warlocks have to offer, the new obsidian ascendance design on the black armory weapons comes to mind specifically. Some new class items would be great for all classes too like cloaks or scarfs or just ornaments for existing armor I think it would be dope for Bungie to change up the formula (especially now that Activision is out of the picture) and embrace the talented artists they have. Again, not trying to belittle the work put into this game, I care about it and want it to be the best it can be!
