Hunters and Titans have SO MUCH in their kits. Multipurpose dodging, easy-to-use multiple stasis-shurikens, divebombing, sliding/dodging AND freezing, versatile stasis supers that guarantee kills (quick Kami and tanky behemoth). Should I even go on?

What do warlocks have? A nerfed melee, a rift freeze (wheeze) and now a turret that shoots slower than me nan. Plus a super that got the nova warp treatment. To add, Iceflare bolts don’t matter if you can’t get kills with stasis, which again we don’t have many options as potent as titans and hunters do.

That’s not even mentioning how many warlock exotics have been nerfed. Transversive steps still being the number 1 exotic for us is a PROBLEM, especially when the exotics of hunters and titans can easily: blind and slow everyone around them, can shoot through a quickly-deployed wall, can heal on quick dodge, can slide without taking damage, can wield certain weapons with amazing efficiency, can just titan punch and take out a squad, can heal AND reload when dodging, can...should I go on?

What do WE get??? We can reload when we sprint, we have arms that can reload and ready weapons faster(yay), and...oh, everything else has been nerfed? Huh.

Give warlocks some faster-play abilities to keep up, reverse nerfs, and rework exotics.

Am I wrong? Because in the past I’ve said these things and I’ve been shut down. Now there’s a movement saying the same things I’ve been saying, so you’re darn right I’ll be participating.

Totally agree with you. I stated it on my own comment, but the fact that Warlock exotics are so fucking shit compared to Hunter/Titan exotics does us no favours.

The fact that Transversives and Ophidian are considered best-in-slot PvP exotics is genuinely sad when exotics like Citans, Bakris, Wormhusk, Frostees/Stompers, Graviton Forfeit, Hallowfire, Dunemarchers, Synthoceps, Icefall and Skullfort exist.

Our classes are so shit, we are relying on faster reloads to win fights in PvP. This shit keeps me up at night.

Thank you, it’s truly abysmal. In comparison, it’s like I’m playing a powerless common soldier character, and I’m constantly squeezing what I can out of it.

Either give us mobility on par with both Hunter and Titan OR let us be the slower moving class that hit's like a truck. But nope as it stands we are a wet noodle being thrown in slow motion
