Warlock Subclass Balance

My fellow warlocks, I love my voidwalker subclass. I [i]love[/i] it. I want to drop nova bombs all day long. Me and Obsidian Mind are like this. *crosses fingers But more and more, I find myself going to stormcaller or sunsinger. I just feel like they're more useful these days. Stormcaller is such a great add control class, and in hard mode raids, sunsinger is essential for its self-res ability (that's really all I use it for, though it's great for survivability all around). Voidwalker still has its uses, I suppose, but I struggle to find instances where I tap into the power of singularities without feeling like I'm taking a handicap. Anyone else feel this way? I think I'd like to see the nova bomb gain more impact damage. That might help make the voidwalker the class you go to when you want to deal massive damage to singular targets. As it is, at level, it seems like it only kills trash on impact, and I feel like it should also take out majors and ultras. I feel like it also has other shortcomings in multiplayer; although, blink is a huge benefit. Even so, the nova bomb is little more than a super-cancellation button, which is certainly valuable, just not as valuable as being able to slaughter whole fireteams or res yourself in elimination games.

    Voidwalker seems to be a PVP class rather than PvE and in that sense, they're the last thing that needs to be buffed, there is literally [b]nothing[/b] wrong with the class for PVP. Nova Bomb is the type of super to be used in critical moments, such as heavy ammo gatherings. It's the best super in the game for this particular situation. You could take out the entire team waiting for their heavy or the very least more than half of them. Saving your team points and may even get their crate. When ever I play Sunbreaker on my titan, I try to treat it the same way, never use its super other than clearing up for heavy ammo. I pop it early, just as Shaxx announces it to null the noise it makes that alerts the players.
