"aRc WaRlOcKs ArE gEtTiNg ShAfTeD iN 3.0"

Also Arc Warlocks in 3.0: -Badass new teleport melee (that I will absolutely be abusing because it sounds fun) -Triple Lightning Ball/double Chain Lightning when Amplified (i.e. after a few rapid kills, AKA simply existing in PvE) -Overcharged Arc Soul (same requirement, simply exist in PvE and have a functioning trigger button) -Guaranteed Ionic Trace generation/Amplification on debuff kill without having to spec into old middle tree -Landfall and Ionic Blink rolled into base Stormtrance w/o having to spec into aspects -Whatever new stuff we get w/ arc fragments I don't know why you're all pretending that Stormcaller isn't getting cool new stuff. You either forgot to read the preview, don't know [i]how[/i] to read the preview, or are being deliberately ignorant/obstinate. Other classes are getting cool stuff too? Great! [i]This isn't a zero-sum game.[/i] Personally, I think Arc 3.0 will finally give me a reason to dust off my old Warlock. I enjoyed middle tree Stormcaller back in Forsaken, but it fell behind with the other subclasses getting revamped. Now it's getting some much-needed love, so I'm looking forward to teleporting around more than a lagswitching Bladedancer in the D1 Supremacy playlist. If you're really gonna complain about the buffs because they "aren't good enough" for you, then feel free to choke on them.

  • The problem I’m finding is that a lot of the power of the warlock kit is locked behind being Amped. Amped is going to be a lot harder to get in endgame PvE where arc multikills are a little harder to come by. Same with PvP. Meaning you need to nearly completely rely on Ionic Traces to get the job done. The new melee aspect sounds interesting but at the same time impractical. We’ll have to wait and see about it: the speed, distance, ease of maneuverability, end lag, damage, and radius are all hidden right now. It could either be something that very few people use in serious content (like consecration) or a viable build for non-master level content. Too much pessimism over something we haven’t seen in action yet (I was guilty of this myself earlier this week) but at the same time the recent track record for these things is against Bungie. Solar Warlock still isn’t in a great place compared to the other two (lol Daybreak still worthless in PvE…)
