Arc Web exclusivity is gone - it's now repackaged as Jolt and given away, "democratized" to the other classes.
Blink exclusivity is gone - it's now for Hunter and (seemingly) not available for Arc Warlock. Did we get PvP Invisibility? No.
Ionic Traces exclusivity is gone - formerly a key part of Chaos Reach Arc midTree, it too has been detached from Warlock and given away for free, with nothing comparable in return.
It was a Warlock sell off.
The ONLY thing new is a freaking SLIDING melee - and absolutely hate sliding as a mechanic. Utter garbage, for the second season in a row, following a YEAR of Shatterdiving combo in Beyond Light.

There are two things I dislike about the new melee based on what they described so far. 1) that’s not leaning into an Emperor Palpatine power fantasy. Honestly it reads more like it should be a Titan melee. 2) it is going to be one of three things. Be super weak to the point it is only used for movement with a relatively short cool down. Be super strong and capable of One-hit kill, but then have a comma inducing long cool down. Or, and more likely, have a cool down too long to be a viable movement ability, and be weak enough it’s practically suicide in crucible and higher level PvE content.

You know how long our abilities take to charge. It's going to be a useless suicide move only for sh!ts and giggles in patrols/season content and basic bish strikes. -
I think so too. I’ll gladly be proven wrong, but I’m getting Titan stasis melee vibes from this. Not good enough in either area, with a prohibitive cool down as even if you try to use it as a movement ability you get charged the ability energy whether you hit anything or not.

Yeah, just stop playing warlock. I already switched to hunter and got a ran out of medals on my very first game. Ive given up on warlocks

Yeah. More in the mood to just wind up Destiny 2. My enjoyment of it after their class decisions has crashed.
