Redheaded step child of Destiny 2. Every 3.0 update Bungo has stripped Warlocks of their unique traits and given them to Titan/Hunter classes. Devour/Heal Nades/Ionic Traces whilst not giving Locks really anything in return.

If you don't want to constantly run healing well in the Solar Tree for Raids/Group endgame content (Also Trials if you are into PvP) I would honestly avoid Lock. The only good subclass is Void and I would argue that even Voidlock isn't that good in all content in comparison to the other two classes. PvP Voidlock is very fun though so there is that, I would even say it is competitive.

Bungo just really hates Warlocks, look up a few Youtube Videos and you will see what I mean and I honestly feel bad for them.

Exotics, generally terrible. A lot of Warlock mains have been rocking the same exotics since release I think with very few exceptions like the stasis gloves/poison gloves. They have a few good ones of course but very few of them are new.

Sad to say Locks do not have good dps supers. Which is odd considering they are the mage class and throw black holes and lightning lasers around like they are having a flash sale. Plenty of vids/reddit posts comparing the super dps if you're interested.

Titan:

So much fun to play. Solar Titan makes you feel like an unstoppable Juggernaut allowing you to easily solo endgame content and not be reliant on revives. You get heal/radiant/scorch/so much with solar Titan. Arc Titan really only has 1 viable super though and that would be the Yeet (Thundercrash) Titan and for Void you will be most likely running bubble Titan. Though captain America shield titan is also a lot of fun with overshields/ranged melee/barricade. I think Titan would probably be the best for anyone starting the game in my opinion.

Titan exotics are generally good, though they do have a few awful ones here and there. The new cannon brace gloves come to mind. Thankfully skullfort is good for a melee arc titan build if you're interested in that. I've also noticed looking at my Titan exotics and comparing them to my Warlocks exotics which generally offer the same benefit/playstyle that Titan exotics usually do it better and offer another trait/skill.

Look up Hallowfire Heart for example and compare it to Crown of Tempests/Nezarec's Sin for an example.

Hunters:

Make up the majority of the class representation in the game and as such Bungie does not like upsetting them. Arc Hunter was horrible for the longest time thereby making hunters run void/solar until the dreaded stasis hunter came with shatterdive. Hunters usually have the best exotics, a great class ability useful in every form of content and the best jump out of the 3. It is the best DPS class followed by Titan.

Really you can't go wrong with hunter either. Arc made them super tanky (sorry hunters but you should not be able to eat supers like candy) which makes them broken in PvP. If you want a dps class with good survivability and a fun jump, this is the class for you.

As a hunter main, you will not love another class as much as hunter. The jumps will feel off and you will always want to dodge roll. However all classes are fun and if you play the game enough that you run out of content on your main character you should try the others out

So far i like warlock more than hunter, better survivability, imo.

No need to start over since you have 3 slots. Use them.

I HONESTLY recommend to play all three characters! Learn the pros and cons for all of them!

That said I spend about 80% of my game time on warlock. I find warlock jumps far easier to manage. Its a bigger learning curve for sure! But I love the ability to strafe mid glide. Has saved me on many a jumping puzzle.

For me I prefer Hunter because I have a better control with my triple jumps. Warlocks are gliding or teleporting but it is sometimes hard to tell when he stops. Also, Hunter's armors makes me feel like a bounty hunter.

PTSD from D1 Crucible possibly.


Anyway there's really no reason not to play multiple classes once you get to a certain point, just start with whatever you feel.

It depends on your playstyle hunter is more reactive with dodges and warlock is more prep with rifts titans can be a mix of the two and take more skill to properly get the perfect shield down. I'd say go with hunter but try warlock and see if its a better fit.
