I see lot of people say that warlock sucks?

[Kanjejou]

wanted to trry destiny 2 and all my contact tell me to never play warlock because its a slow class with slow clunky mecanism and spell making it bad in pve and useless in pvp.

Is that true?

Warlocks are OP, their glide is better than Hunter jumps if you master it, their rift is awesome when you are forced to stand in fire (looking at you, GoS last boss), they've got Dawnblade and Stormtrance for PvP (gotta master Stormtrance, but it's good), Well of Radiance is a necessity in raiding, Nova Bomb is generally good, and Chaos Reach is simply fun.

Also, Warlocks eat grenades.

Sucks how?
Have all the cheese to do Zero Hour and whisper heroic, while I get my self rekt jump after jump even with stompees.

I main warlock, it's most definitely the middle ground.

I would say Hunter is better for PVP and Titan for PVE, but Warlock can rock both.

You just need to master what you do with it.

Warlocks most interesting class to play:
1. All skills usefull and interesting
2. Nice grenades
3. Cool grenader regeneration
4. ALL EXOTIC STUFF REALLY USEFULL and INTERESTING
5. All builds nice and actually working (solar, arc, void - all three)

It's the most broken class, both good and bad.

It's funny to see people stating that warlock is "fun/interesting/good", well maybe it's fun, but OP question is about actual effectiveness as far as I understand, and there's virtually no utility Warlocks have in PVP at the moment. Movement alone is not an exclusive utility, any other class have similar or better options with this. Neutral game is laughable too, because again, anyone is equally as good at this, if not better.

Let's get some more highlight on Void Titan: I personally run with Monte Carlo, so my melee is like 100% of up time. Utility of shoulder charge is insane. You do not only OHK others at pretty long distance, you also disable them, meaning: you see and hear someone activating Super nearby (which always gives away very clear both visual and sound queue across the map), so you Bash him (which also works in the air), and POOF his super is instantly gone and all energy is lost.

Aside from that, you can use that charge as a dodge to get out of sticky situations, which works wonderfully well. And big upside is - it doesn't use up charge. You can also use it to cover long distances. That's only ONE freaking ability we're talking about. What does Warlock have to get at least half of crazy usability like this? Nothing.

Say, Hunters' dodge is nice by itself, but it's worth jack without extra utility of healing/reloading/stealth, you name it. Also underestimating CC grenades is downright stupid. Throwing in flashbang or suppressor, jumping in and slaughter them like helpless kittens. Traps are also amazing, which again, Warlocks don't have. Roaming supers are best in PVP, and for max efficiency, you need:
- Long duration and strong DR.
- Ability to move very fast and frantically.
- Have either ranged or defense option.

Each Warlock roaming is extremely slow. Blink is stupidly predictable, and has very bad perk of when you actually blink, if someone shoot position that you blinked from and arriving at, you get damage from both sources, so it's not an escape tool, only close distance, and still short, and still quite bad.

Being able to quickly move across the map and NOTHING ELSE AT ALL is not what makes class useful for PVP in all honesty...

Warlocks don't suck, but Titans majorly suck asss

[Mr. Houseless]

As a warlock main i have to say we warlocks are in a bad position. Our Exotics: Crap or have been nerfed badly. Supers: Chaos reach and dawn about decent but mainly suck sadly. Well is hard to use and very situational. They also nerfed the glides so they still slow. overall: Warlock suck in pvp and are barely decent in pve.

Warlocks do not suck, they are one of the key classes for PvE and have one of the highest skill ceilings in PvP, at least according this Hunter main(me). They require practice, that is probably why people think they suck, they are not as simple as Titans or even Hunters to pick up and play.

Warlocks suck in pvp because your own ability animations are your worst enemy. No body wants to play a class that sabotages itself.

see how pros play warlocks,they did it just fine and roasted tons of other class with dawn blade.

all the classes are viable in all modes its more of some subclasses being weaker than others
