Whats with the warlock nerfs?

[A motivated Guy]

Only one icarus dash and geomags dont top of chaos reach anymore. Anything else that got nerfed besides warlocks?

[logith]

With Heat Rises you gain another icarus dash. Also a bunch of super generating exotics from all classes are now capped at 50% super energy. Some of Warlock's exotics got buffed too, like The Stag, gaining damage reduction in rifts. Read the patch notes for more

True, the heat rises buff is appreciated. And yet, not only my location will be revealed to the enemy, I also have to sacrifice a nade. They went a bit overboard.

So Pheonix Protocol got nerfed into the floor. Skull of ahamkara is still garbo. and Geomags are now very "meh" since your super is way less available now. The other exotics have okish buffs that will barely make them interesting. Shards nerf will barely change it. Ursas will be used just as much as they were before in grandmasters with the double ursa strat. Bombardiers just got a flat buff. Graviton Forfeit just got a flat out buff. Lucky pants might turn insane. Titan exotics got ok buffs.

Im just confused why bungie tends to nerf warlocks so hard. the icarus dash thing wasnt really a problem yet they nerfed it. While things like shatterdive in pvp after long outcry still havent changed

Top tree dawn was the literal best subclass in the crucible, the movement you got from icarus dash was insane, the nerf was warranted

[Echowing]

Geomags was nerfed for PvP and PvE. It let you get your super multiple times per game in PvP, which was obnoxious to fight against. In PvE, you could run mods like Special Finisher to generate ammo for your fireteam, and use Geomags' Topping Off effect to completely negate the super energy cost, allowing for near infinite ammo on special weapons.

bottom tree dawnblade, middle tree void and bottom tree arc all got sizeable buffs btw

you are delusional, icarus dash was extremely broken because of how fast you could move with it due to the momentum bug and shatterdive got deservedly nerfed like four times.

Well which other subclass do warlocks have now that good to play for pvp? and those shatterdive nerfes didnt do anything. The closest thing to a nerf is that if they somehow fail to hit their stasis crystals they cant instantly shatterdive again. Still oneshot and still a free panic kill.

Icarus dash needed the nerf, Geomags were obnoxious in pvp too easy in pve and everyone knew it. As long as nerfs come with buffs to underperforming things, all is well.

Warlock nerfs were primarily targeted at PvP performance. What PvP buffs did they get?

RIP Bleak Watcher turret summoner builds. Verity's Brow nerf combined with the only stasis weapon with demo perk being a worthless sidearm exclusive to Iron Banner, feels like stasis is once again worthless compared to light classes.
