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.

Honestly.......it's never felt bad to me. Maybe I'm just not seeing the issues other people have which is fine. I'm not going to deny it having any issues either though. The tracking on needlestorm is wonky. Feels like you need to put most bosses as tightly into the reticle as possible......even then you lost 1-2 to random zipcodes. As for what I mostly use it for......suspend and add control mostly. With a side of sever. Kinda sad I have to use Prismatic to get Woven Mail out of it (or anything beyond suspension and severing). It could do with more though for sure. For anyone curious about my strand setup......It's solely Prismatic I use for it. But Aspect wise - Weaver's call / Lightning Surge Fragments - Facet of Dawn , Generosity , Balance , Solitude , Purpose , Defiance.
