Bungie,
I feel like, with all the Void 3.0 retuning, blink, being locked to the void class deserved a re-view. Long ago, when we were all enjoying D2 on consoles with controllers, i think even before the go fast update, is when blink was looked at, and nerfed. At that time, it was determined it was too hard to hit and too hard to see. And penalties are applied for PvP & PvE. The user looses radar, handling and there is a cooldown on the use of the movement.
Additionally, blink was visually changed to make it easier to see & easier to see what direction the user went. Also, it was made easier to hit. As in a more generous hitbox. All of this is good. But now that D2 is on PC and Next Gen. Is there a way to at least let it have the same aim assist breaking equal to dodge? Isn't it a 'dodge' for PvP? And why the penalties at all? Even in PvE? Why limit the movement in PvE? Its a vanilla warlock skill like the hunter triple jump. Can it be made more viable and useful for high end PvE?
Blink..Its the most mage like thing that a warlock player can do. Other than that, I feel like im a titan with a rift instead of barricade, shooting guns and throwing grenades for 99% of the gameplay loop. Other than a super, 1%. No magic mines. No curse touch. No shock spikes. No truesight. No shadow binding. No warp bullets. No charming. No invisibility. No flying. No levitation. No fire spitting. No xenomorph acid spitting. No great fireball. No thunderbolt. No shockwave. No after-image illusions. No solar flare blinding. No stalactite dropping. No stalagmite booping. No portal warping. No projectile freezing. No grenade catching and devouring.. ..
I think Warlock gameplay could and should be (I'll take the job) more than shooting guns and throwing grenades. Because all a warlock can bring to the table is the same weapons and grenades the hunter and titan brought, we are stuck on middle tree solar for all tough, co-op needed, end game PvE content. I love it, but can I have an adventure where I can take my voidwalking, blinking warlock through Vow of the Disciple raid and challenge the boss like that? Void 3.0 is already here. Thank you for reading.

Edited by Zer0Warri0r: 4/25/2022 1:55:30 PMBlink can be very strong borderline OP even with all its restrictions right now. You just need to put in the time to get good with it. People have proven how strong it can be it doesnt need any buff lest it be made too good for the average player and get promptly nerfed into a worse state than now. You love blink? Go get good with it and be one of very few who make it OP and thus Bungie cant justify a nerf bc the stats dont show a high usage of the ability.
