Id like to ask about warlock buffs.
For a while now i felt very unhappy about my dmg capabilities as warlock compared to other classes. So many things on warlock either make no sense or take the class in a direction it has no business going in.
Lets start with healing. Warlocks are NOT a healing/support class. There are Abilities, Aspects, Fragments, Perks and Exotics that can heal you that focusing warlock on just healing is hindering its performance. Furthermore Threating the WHOLE class as healer instead solar which has all but 1 sources of healing on it (the other being Feed the Void) is it for healing. Solar warlock also suffers from internal struggle where its both a "AC130" style dmg subclass AND healing subclass at the same time. There is no reason for such heavy focus on healing when everyone has plenty of sources for healing (i mean whats heal clip for?).
Secondly id like to talk about Supers. They feel ok at best. On their own warlock supers feel like throwing a snowball against a locomotive. Big Dragon Ball style energy ball being this weak is crazy. Chaos Reach, a super that takes most if not all your dps time to max its dmg being so weak is just INSANE. Im not asking for 10mil dmg but literally any noticable improvement would be great.
So many exotics and so litte options. Why is starfire proticol still not unnerfed? Why are none of the 5 melee oriented warlocks exotics properly given a time to shine? Lightning surge is being shoved in only because "it looks cool" while not only being least warlock-ish ability we have, it doesnt have any exotic worth looking at to make good use of. And the recent "50% dmg resistance vs TITAN BARRICADE" is not how to make more people use it. A lot of times youre not gonna get far with it because you are easily killed when entering/leaving the slide animation. As the flavour text says "materialise" meaning im immaterial during the slide - put a 50% dr for the slide instead at least. Then we have the greatest nade of all - FUSIO... oh. Well aparently warlock doesnt have fusions on prismatic. WHY? As much as i get healing nade is cool i honestly couldnt care less since i have 2 class abilities that heal me, a Facet, an Aspect AND i can get perks that heal me too. *I* dont need healing nade, feel free to distribute it for other classes too and give us Fusion nades even without Touch of Flame. Or at least Incendeary. Hunters have magnetic, Titans Suppressing nades, i want a basic "boom and done" nade too.
The past MONTH i havent fealt like touching the game because playing my class just isnt fun anymore.
Then seeing the armor changes making me re-farm my armor i spent so long farming to get best stat rolls i could, so much that id say im in top 10 warlocks with best armor just annoyed me. At least let us PICK what focus we want added on our current armor instead it being random - and thats for ALL classes. I honestly cant care about my warlocks melee besides it being Arcane Needle and its recharge time.
Thanks for coming to my Randy Rant. See yall around.
PS: *please give me my fusion grenades back i need my sweet babies to come back asap, we need to stay together and its actually a form of child abuse to separate a parent from their child for this long."

As a long time solar warlock main, who used starfire when it was strong, and still uses it now (at least when I play the game, which isn’t often), starfire is still strong.
