I’m not in the „warlocks got shafted” camp, but if you are a game designer, you are a creator. You can always come with new stuff. Reworking something decent is no harder than fixing something bad - those are not material things we are talking about. What is IMO the real problem is the developers have no VISION of how to make Warlock special. They do have pretty good feel of what it is to be a Titan, they do understand what makes Hunters tick, but they don’t get how Warlocks want to play their class. It does show in the Arc 3.0 announcement, when they talk about the core experience of Titans and Hunters describing plays they can do, and then spend far less space on talking about Warlocks and they do it only with very vague terms. Rather than hearing how new Warlocks will play, we hear “oh you guys like getting buffs”. How is that a vision for a class? It does sound like arc Warlock ability uptime may be something crazy. If all Arc classes regenerate abilities on Arc kills, but warlocks have aspect buffing it, chances are we’ll have nearly permanent accessibilities to buffed abilities. This is already possible in Void and Solar, to a degree. There’s nothing truly special here. I understand the disappointment in lack of vision, even though most posters express it in different terms.

  • I can understand wanting new things and reworking of abilities but 3.0s aren't supposed to be whole new sub classes. They simply add and upgrade things. Warlocks have generally had solid almost complete subclasses with plenty of unique things. So of course you guys aren't gonna get much, yah already had things like arc soul. What did titans and hunters have? Different melees? Supers? Grenades? Yeah Warlocks had those things on top of arc soul, ionic traces, chain lightning. So it's kind of hard to add. Hunters got a new super because we desperately needed it. That's kind of it though. Besides amplify and jolt that everyone gets. I guess blink as well if yah wanna count it? Though that's just a jump(not happy about hunters getting more mobile bs but yeah) Titans got a new melee and a dash. Enhanced grenades because they were the only class missing that. Warlocks have Enhanced solar and void grenades.(Hunters and titans only have one subclass each that does that) They did get a new Arc melee teleport thingy and seem to benefit the most from being amplified. Double chain lightning and a multi hit melee. Stormtrance got an upgrade by combining two powerful traits. We also haven't fully seen arc 3.0 so we can't fully judge or complain just yet

    Warlock abilities are buffed and strengthened by being amplified. Arc 3.0 centers around this for Warlocks as an intrinsic way to not only recharge but prune our abilities to higher potential. I think Arc 3.0 will be very potent on Warlocks. I do agree with your point about the lack of vision seeing they’re handing out our space magic like candy to Titans and Hunters.
