Can the developers please do something about Warlocks?
For the last year for warlocks it has just been nerf after nerf while simply the devs are just saying warlocks are fine. When most of us are not. Most warlock mains don’t want the class to be focused on “buddies” that do the work for us but rather mostly the grenades that several exotics and subclass aspects focus on. Three of the last four exotics in the last year have been “buddy” related. It feels as the devs only want warlocks to be the well and buddy class while taking away the original space magic fantasy that the class gave. It’s exhausting that warlock only gets nerfed along with massive buffs to other classes like the new melee buffs only apply to a single exotic for warlocks. The Reddit link I have is just more people having their opinions about this “buddy” class situation and want it to change. So many warlocks feel the frustration when they simply joke about warlocks while titans get their complaints into the game like at the of The Final Shape. Please read this and voice your complaints about warlock too
Thank you

6 RepliesEdited by Soul_Eater_42: 6/28/2025 2:40:38 AMThere are so many improvements they could really give to Warlocks if they actually gave a damn. VOIDWALKER [u]Chaos Accelerant[/u] •Overcharged grenades deal 15% more damage. •Additional effects for each grenade type: ••Vortex Grenade: Duration increased by 5 seconds. At the end, collapses into a Void burst that damages and applies Volatile. ••Scatter Grenade: Doubles the number of submunitions. Submunitions spread onto the ground, lingering for 8–10 seconds before detonating if no enemies are nearby, or tracking to targets when in range. ••Axion Bolt: Enemies killed by an Axion Bolt spawn additional Axion Bolts. ••Magnetic Grenade: No longer becomes Handheld Supernova. On attachment, pulls in nearby enemies before detonating. Explosion radius increased, applies Volatile, and detonates a third time. [u]Handheld Supernova[/u] •Now a chargeable melee ability. •Partial charge: Fires 5 projectiles. •Full charge: Fires 8 tracking projectiles, all applying Volatile. DAWNBLADE [u]Phoenix Dive[/u] •While Heat Rises is active, leaves a Scorching Rift on impact. •Kills with Phoenix Dive grant Restoration. [u]Daybreak (Super)[/u] •While Heat Rises is active, each projectile applies 45 Scorch stacks and launches 3 flame streaks on impact. [u]Celestial Fire[/u] •Grants Radiant on hit. [u]Touch of Flame[/u] •Firebolt Grenade: Enemies killed by Firebolt Grenade Ignite. STORMCALLER [u]Electrostatic Mind[/u] •Collecting additional Ionic Traces while Amplified heals you. [u]Lightning Surge[/u] •Increased radius when used while Amplified. [u]Ball Lightning[/u] •While Amplified, transforms into a lingering storm. [u]Stormtrance (Super)[/u] •While Amplified, damaging enemies builds Bolt Charge stacks. Chaining to 3+ enemies increases stack gain rate. SHADEBINDER [u]Winter’s Wrath (Super)[/u] •Shatter shockwave (secondary attack) now applies 50 Slow stacks per shockwave (PvE only). [u]Frostpulse[/u] •Casting Rift now Shatters Stasis Crystals and already Frozen targets, in addition to Freezing. [u]Glacial Harvest[/u] •While you have Frost Armor, grenade recharge rate is increased. BROODWEAVER [u]Weavewalk[/u] •Remove Threadling damage penalty. •When you have 5 perched Threadlings, any additional Threadlings self-deploy automatically. •Gain Wovenmail for a short duration after exiting Weavewalk.

Edited by ABADDON_WOLFFE: 6/28/2025 9:39:35 AMWarlock main here Best advise i can give you is either switch class in the next dlc as i will or stop playing. There's no in between, that class won't be buffed because warlock is the least played class in the game and not devs favorite (cough titans) So just switch to Titan or hunter and move on. Unfortunately warlock class is done.

When space mages have the worst space magic…

Edited by Joulevette12: 6/28/2025 8:14:54 AMTrue but let's be honest I rather have a buddy then them constantly keep giving me rift exotics Just like that new eunoia exotic should've been a Hellion placement Turret similar to the Stasis Turret because the way it is now makes you play passive aggressive which we know the way this game is designed to force players to play aggressive hinders it a lot to miss majority of the shots. I wouldn't mind a strand version of Rime-Coat Raiment but wit will hit too close to home of warfame nidus ability Brood Mind - Infestation- hold and convert your Threadling grenade into a placement Threadling Hive that spawns Threadlings ever few seconds. *Threadling kills increase grenade Regen

1 ReplyYou’d think after all these nerfs they’d find a nerf herder

Edited by l Xemnas: 6/29/2025 8:08:40 AMWhich is honestly funny. When they announced the hellion aspect for solar/prismatic, many people were understandably concerned. Titans got Unbreakable for Sentinel, that leaned hard into the defender aspect. Hunters got Ascension, which if I'm being honest, is lackluster without gifted conviction, but even then competing with better aspects. Warlocks got....another buddy. And when they complained saying they don't want to just be the buddy class, the toxically positive players chimed in asking "why can't you just be happy with the new aspect" or "why do you always have to be so negative".

2 RepliesOnly way to truly enjoy warlock is solo play ! If you do raids or dungeons you got to run well or support, that should be changed with how boss encounters work . That's why I run 3 classes so I can enjoy the fantasy of wrecking stuff

So you wasn't the 2nd best this season??? Using arc and geomags? And you don't think your gonna be the best next season with 200 grenade and starfires??? Just say you don't know what your doing

Grenades are going to be crazy in edge of fate. Up to a 50% bonus if you build into it. That’s just normal grenades too. Things like verity’s brow or contraverse hold are going to go nuts.

2 RepliesEdited by ben: 6/28/2025 2:28:21 PMSynthoceps devour slide melee currently one of the strongest builds in the game and is remaining unchanged in the sandbox overhaul, in fact will be getting better Speakers sight with healing grenades is a must have for contest level content and you can use it while still having the prismatic kit, or on solar for ember of benevolence to have constant uptime on the grenades Arc warlock a favourite for many people, remaining unchanged And you may not like the buddy builds but they are incredibly strong, I think the hellion is overkill but bleak watcher with devour and getaway artist is insane

Nobody wants to be a Warlock. Not even Warlocks

Titan main here, whats a Warlock? *CRUNCH* Mmm, yummy crayons.

2 RepliesOn one hand I agree and in another I don’t. 1. Space magic: grenades aren’t really space magic. Maybe we use some kind of power to make them, (unsure of how they work lore wise in game), but all classes have access to the same ones so I don’t really count that as space magic. 2. The buddy system. For me, I see that as an actual way to give Warlocks more of a a class identity. The other two classes don’t have buddies built into their kits. 3.Also, the buddies are an extension of the Warlocks space magic. Charge up some kind of energy and release it into an energy-buddy that can help you in battle. 4. I do agree with you, that they should have more than just buddies. I just don’t know what that would be, that would also keep it different from Hunter and Titans.

I mean getaway artist is good but imo it is overshadowed by lightning surge which is very fun and unique and is a melee build.
