Strand Warlock

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.

  • Yeah, I gotta disagree. Idk if the sub-class is weak without the artifact mods - as prior to Heresy I hadn’t played my threadlings build since LF. But I’ve been using it again this season and it is absolutely cracked when you lean into the artifact mods. I did my entire Conquerer title with blueberries and it was a cake walk with the build. You can literally just use a Strand primary and use the threadlings and tangles to do all the heavy lifting for you.
