Just gonna put this out there that this is for more long-term things for bungie think about in terms of quality of life updates for not just the warlock class, but for all classes. My fellow warlock’s, in preparation to help bungee with the task of making the class better (which intern could also help with the pain points of the other two classes may I add) let us help bungee by pointing what we want a consensus if you will. Feel free to leave your ideas in the thread. Let’s start with the basics our rifts and jumps need a little bit of tuning too many of our exotics are linked to the idea of casting your rift. Your rift does a an extra thing now, how can we improve our rifts without really killing or breaking the rifts? After all, oh both of the other classes have some other benefit to their class abilities, mainly hunters with their new buff to gamblers dodge, keep in mind warlocks have never really had their rifts augmented in any sort of way in a while so a few interesting ideas is that they could start a combat loop of sort that really plays into self class verb ability use your defense could be better while standing in a rift not in a well but a rift, or better yet they could make the rift mobile, but also smaller. Warlocks are supposed to be very magic inspired, so I think them being able to start a chain of abilities based off of which sub class and rift they use, could be interesting think of it as being similar to the hunters radiant Dodge (not gonna lie abilities like that should just be a main stay on every class. In fact what would be interesting is being able to choose which buff you get from casting your ability). Next let’s talk abilities, I am honestly of the opinion that a great buff two warlocks would to be to make the buddies inherent to their class ability. It’s just a little extra thing you get just for casting your class ability, that way you can make just new aspects to kind of replace. What was there in order to make the game for warlocks to feel more like they’re using their light, as if it was magic there needs to be more of that because it’s something that’s really lacking from the class identity, especially visually because the only two supers that kind of capture. This are winters wrath and well of radiance flavor wise. So how can we reinvigorate certain warlock subclasses with existing and new supers? Flight. Roaming supers should allow you to fly. And no, I don’t mean burst glide Icarus dash fly around I mean, like straight up, if you jump while in your super, you are now flying , kinda like the new corsair type enemies from the edge of fate, we can’t use our weapons in this example but being able to fly around, blasting people with light or darkness, like imagine how it feels to have heat rises on all the time but super charged. And other thing that could be done is to combine the nova bombs into a big meaty damage, dealing machine, and have one of the many warlock exotics changed to boost this or needle storm similar to nighthawk and cotfs, (I’m really not sure why we haven’t gotten one of these we kinda need it). Their needs to generally be more melee abilities that feel more magically inspired, the fact that warlocks don’t have a sword Melee as representative of the dawn blade is kind of sad. Next point, there needs to be more exotic’s and supers to support Hunter and Titan play styles as well as encounters that benefit from using them over well of radiance, that being said there need to be more support weapons, abilities, and supers in general it all do different things, but it’s having them in your back pocket that makes them good. For example, a raid wear having a well of radiance isn’t good, but having he say a hunter who can generate an electric field that makes everybody standing in the field, amplified and gain bolt charge, and unlimited jumps. So everybody can like flash run through a platforming section, a hunter solar super that gives anyone who is standing in the radius get a full stack of ammo that allows you to deal more critical damage this ammo leaves your inventory once the super is over but during the duration of that super it’s infinite, for Titan make it so that you can shoot out of bubbles. A titan super that is just a bigger banner of war that you plant down but has a huge radius. It affects your entire fire team and and buffs strand abilites. This way, you can actually change how you approach combat design because the more variety in our abilities that we as guardians have the more of a variety of combat encounters you can create. For anyone who have their own ideas on how warlocks identities can be lexpanded upon or how the class you made could have more support based gameplay that you would find enjoyable, please share down below.
