The only things Warlocks really have left is Shadebinder's top-tier freezing capability in endgame content. Aerial gameplay is, for the time being, dead, while healing builds are thoroughly unwieldy, awkward and more unenjoyable than ever. Voidwalker went from largely using Devour and little else to..........largely using Devour and little else. I have no doubts that Stormcaller will still be good, but it's very disappointing to see its best parts being given to everyone else. Ionic Traces and chain lightning are available to all classes; so too are Storm Grenades, which even get buffed into a mini-Super by a Titan aspect. Blink could have been buffed years ago, but it's only being changed because Hunters (the reason it was nerfed in the first place) are getting it back. Chaos Reach is a husk of a Super nowadays and it's still reliant on Geomags to have any value whatsoever, but the only word of change was Stormtrance getting both of its existing abilities at once. Arc Soul being an Aspect is exactly what I expected, but I didn't think they'd do it in a way that also devalues Getaway Artist i.e. Arc Soul can overcharge itself naturally. Everything is riding on how good Lightning Surge is. Currently, it sounds like an Arc version of Sunbreaker's Consecration, which no one uses. Teleporting into the middle of a group of enemies doesn't sound very appealing for endgame content, so it had better be hard-hitting - remember that Consecration has Ignition built into it, for a very large chunk of damage.

  • Just like the BB buff (out of nowhere) I’m sure there will be things changed to better centralize build crafting and create a more engaged dynamic that weren’t mentioned today or will be tomorrow. Electrostatic mind with Crown seems like the ultimate Ionic trace/ability recharge build in the whole game (bar my Solar titan build). I’m really hopping for a Chaos reach buff, aswell as expecting some other fragments creating new powerful builds for Locks. Reading the sneak peek it may seem like warlocks are gonna be able to create 2/3x more traces then the other classes simply from Electrostatic mind and the Basic Ionic Trace spawn requirements. That alone sets it apart from the other two, and retains that identity. “If they can do it, I can do it better” is what you should expect. New lightning teleport seems niche, and a “cool new toy”. We will have to see how strong it it. Expecting a Gateway Artist change since Buddies are getting essentially the inherent perk as a aspect. Hoping vesper of radius gets some love to. With everything though. We will have to see how stuff functions, and plays out with the rollout of arc next week. I’m very optimistic.

  • Getaway Artist changes the grenade to an arc soul so it still has value
