Well, in it's current state, outside of the campaign, Strand feels... underwhelming. Sure, you can build, at least as a Warlock, it to decent damage. However it's unique element, the Grapple and movement, is... not really working, at least not as it's core fantasy. Partially because in any content where skill or loadout matter, grappling into the middle of enemies is not a valid tactic, but, as the people of Ankh Morphoc would say suicide by stupidity. And the far bigger problem is the Cooldown. Waiting 2 minutes for it is deeply unsatisfactory, and basically ruins the fantasy. As to solutions, I'm not so presumptios to know better than an entire team, however, I am presumptous enough to say that I have identified a few ways it could at least be improved. I shall start with the worse problem: 1. The cooldown could permanently be the empowered cooldown. (This is the least balanced, but because of the difficulty of effectively using the grapple melee it might work) 2. The grapple and grapple melee have different cooldowns, with the grapple melee having the grenade cooldown, and the grapple itself the empowered. This is balancewise the most solid, but sounds technically far more janky, especially in how it would interact with Discipline (badly I presume) 2.1 Essentially same as 2, but instead of two separate cooldowns you regain most energy if you don't melee. And the other might be solved by granting overshield/damage reduction while grappling and for a bit afterwards if you melee, but that is far less important.
