Not sure who all here loves Strand Warlock and tries to build into the whole minion summon thing. But threadlings kind of suck. Including Needlestorm. For a Super that requires a bit of positioning it barely does any damage. Roughly 400k~500k in Grasp with Spirit of Star Eaters + Limit Break. Needlestorm's threadlings does 30 more damage over just regular threadlings. Considering how they are supposed to take the damage value of the source it's created from until it's perched. That's pretty low. I'm not entirely sure if Needlestorm in itself needs a buff or if it's just overall Threadlings. But something's gotta be changed about that Super. Threadlings need more utility as well. Give it the ability to sever as an aspect. Currently Warlock is the only class that doesn't have access to all Strand verbs without fragments. (Woven Mail and Sever). Also on a unrelated note regarding Darkness subclass. Prismatic should have the a fragment that increases Darkness abilities by 10% as well. But instead make it so when you have a light buff. That's just my opinion though. I'd love to see others respond to this. Let our voices be heard about Strand Warlock.

Thers a few reasons why threadlings are bad 1. Low damage: although you can spam them with spirit of inmost + a weapon with hatchling the damage is still low 2. Bad A.I: all your threadlings can go after a Thral with next to no HP like when you use a Nova and it decides to go after a minor enemy 3. Bad design with committed action: once the animation/attack is triggered it can't be interrupted even if the target dies from another damage source or teleports away because threadlings don’t track the enemy they track the position where the enemy was at the moment they committed
