Warlocks deserve an actual Strand Super, not just green Nova Bomb
I can't be the only one that finds Bungie's lack of Warlock identity discouraging. Number puddles and brainless automated turrets (in various colors) are not interesting or engaging in the slightest. I truly can't understand why a magic-wielding spellcaster called [i]Warlock[/i], (not Cleric, Priest, or Engineer) was dumped on this path without hesitation or revision.
Along with all the interesting variety of mechanics and synergy plainly missing on Warlock, Broodweaver's Super Needlestorm has really gotten under my skin. It doesn't take much imagination to see it's just an uncontrollable Nova Bomb.. which is itself already tired, as one of the oldest and simplest abilities in the IP's history.
The solution is to just play a different class. But I've spent so much time maining one character, as the designers have deliberately enabled, to restart now. So I'm primarily just playing a different game.
Let me know when all three classes are worth playing. Thanks for reading.

Uh. Ok? To say that everything you just posted is swill really just insults swill. Warlocks have an extremely focused identity and the subclass synergy with many exotics is off the chain. Sometimes I switch to my Hunter in pve just because Warlock has such strong builds that it can become boring. Then you imply that Bungie only wants you to play one class? Are you suggesting that you don't have a Titan or Hunter or are you just complaining that the story isn't good enough to run all three through it? I can understand the second viewpoint as I don't run all three through, I just keep them mostly current. On the rare chance that you might actually be more reasonable than that post suggests, I'll tell you what works for me. I keep all three classes close to the cap, and I read the patch notes when they come out. I do this because at the start of every season I make a decision as to what class I will be maining. It's usually Warlock, but I've gone entire seasons on Hunter. Y1 and 2 of D2 I just mained Hunter because the game was shallow and Hunter is decent in both pve and pvp. Right now I am using Warlock for pve and Titan in pvp. I do this because Bungie hasn't seen fit to give us enough load out slots.
