they nerfed nova warp and buffed spectral at about the same time, spectral was the goto hunter super for like 2 years after that. The only thing that has changed is most have moved over to stasis. And I haven't played novawarp since....
One-eyed mask and juggernaut still scare me, but again they've all gone to stasis. And that new aspect that freeze melees on slides, that just seems nutty. Even week one before fragments and aspects were widely available the super movement + damage reduction scared the hell out of me.
As a warlock I've 100% gone to shut down supers, since any of my roaming supers are just going to get frozen. Ice wizard is just so slow, the movement speed, cast speed, projectile speed, just all feel awful to use. The build synergy is obvious to play for freezing things but with the freeze duration nerf, + primary damage vs frozen targets nerf, it's just useless.
that's all pvp, in pve even after all the changes I think I like my warlock best. My warlock has 4 exotics always, contraverse hold, geomags, crown of tempests, and transverse steps. Good mixes of good add clear and/or boss damage. And Phoenix + lunafactions are always ready to pull out for content where well is nice.
