We the Warlocks

We are Warlocks, wielders of wild magic - it takes a skilled hand to bend it to our will. Any good Warlock knows this, and those in the Crucible can attest to it as well. Nothing inspires fear like a charging Warlock, burning and unfazed by a barrage of bullets, or the sound of a nova bomb charging up as you and your fireteam attempt to cap a control point. Likewise, nothing is more laughable than watching the blunders of an unskilled Warlock, self-reviving only to instantly be returned to the grave, or cowardly wasting a nova bomb on a single target. I'm not granted the Titan's one hit punch, I'm not equipped with a distance melee, but get too close and I will burn you. Call it even that you get a solar grenade for that knife you threw over my head, and remember it's my hand cannon that laid you to rest. I did you a favor, you don't want your family to see that scorched face. This is a call to all those endowed with the Traveller's light, Warlocks, bound by the knowledge that we are destined to lead and finish the fight against Darkness. The Vault of a Glass proved how vital we are in this fight. We were born with powers beyond our brothers in Destiny, we didn't strap a utility belt full of knives to our hip and we don't need a suit of armor to bolster our courage. A Warlock doesn't need a cape to show that he is a hero, and if you need all that protection to fight Darkness, maybe you should get a nightlight, BubbleBoy. In the Crucible, all classes are given an equal chance. Enjoy your class's perks, and learn to defend against your enemy's. Never make excuses. But that's not what I want to talk about here. We all like to play games, but I want to talk about the fight against our real enemy, and what your class is doing to help in it. Hunters, are you useful at all in the fight against our greatest foes? You aren't going to Blade Dance your way to the end of our nemesis, and your Golden Gun might as well be a slingshot - and I promise you aren't fighting Goliath. Take a seat Hunters. And what about Titans? Strikers are better suited for Donkey Kong - when you're finished pounding the ground go eat a banana. Defender class, your bubble is nice - if you prefer to hide behind it the whole fight. Actually, why don't you hold the relic and try a shield that we can actually shoot through. Do I even need to explain Warlocks? Who hasn't had their entire fireteam's asses saved by a Sunsinger's self-revive. And know this, the Voidwalker can send unlimited nova bombs that wreck havoc against Atheon equal to a super from the relic. If I had to pick a raid fireteam, it would look like this: Warlock, Warlock, Warlock, Warlock, Warlock, Warlock. Warlocks have been referred to as gifted, blessed, empowered - all true. But we're too busy slaying everything in our paths to make such distinctions, and if you're smart you'll stay out of our blast radius. Edit: this post was meant to spark a fun rivalry/debate between the 3 classes. A little trash talk is a necessity to push us to better ourselves. I've learned a few things about the other classes/subclasses that were downright impressive. Don't worry, my guardian brethren, we're all crucial members in the fight to preserve the enlightened-human-exo races.

  • I'll certainly agree that warlock is the best class in the vault of glass. Sure, I'm aware that the other classes are useful too, but warlocks have the best PvE supers. I shall explain. In the VoG, if you're a hunter, the only useful super is gunslinger for taking out oracles. Bladedancers' attack is too weak by that level, and the same goes for the titans ground pound. When I do the raid I repeatedly hear hunters/titans in my fireteam complaining about how their supers werent damaging enough. Sure, a defender titan can be vital in a raid, but when it comes to warlocks, both sub classes can be used to equal effectiveness. The nova bomb is more damaging than a gunslingers shots against enemies (you sometimes need to shoot an enemy twice for it to die), and its similar to the titans ground pound, but RANGED, making it MUCH MORE effective against bosses like atheon. When times vengeance is active, a voidwalker can repeatedly bitch slap atheon with bombs. On the other hand, the sunsinger is also useful. Being able to revive yourself cannot be stated enough in terms of utter usefulness. Plus, being able to LITERALLY make it rain grenades (provided you have the perks) is super effective (and badass). When fighting the templar, you can flood the stairs, where fanatics run from, with grenades. I do this during the raid and not one fanatic gets near us because they're too busy swimming through grenade fire and dying. I rest my case.
