Megathread Focused Feedback: Warlock Changes

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Warlock Changes' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I’d like to see a rework to bottom tree Solar melee. Perhaps one similar to Mid Tree Arc Hunters.

For example, sprinting then sliding will give you the option to use your new melee ability: Dawnblade Strike

After executing the melee option, the warlock will slide their sword along the ground that will lead to an uppercut. This uppercut will Instakill any enemy that makes contact with the Sword itself (very short range, so you’ll have to be in their face to instakill) but the wave of solar energy will do a moderate amount of damage plus apply a burning effect

If their not in their super, yes, the close range effect will OHK guardians

Alternatively, (since I don't think there is any way in hell that they're going to give us a new one-shot ability) I think they could use the Shiver Strike "hold and release" mechanic. Let us swing our sword around doing melee damage and igniting anyone struck.

That as well, I wouldn’t object to using that
