All three classes are fun and capable in all situations, the only thing that should influence your decision is the jump mechanics or whoever looks coolest to you.

i got into destiny because a) my irl friends play it, b) i heard that general battuta wrote some of it, and c) i like space wizard magic rpgs. i don't really enjoy first person shooter gameplay so almost all of my kills are with builds that loop elemental wells or CWL to cheat cooldowns--stuff like 3x explosive wellmaker voidlock, or heavy-handed/melee wellmaker shoulder charge, and it works fine even in GM strikes and master VOG (obviously not in crucible). i'm sure i'm not strictly the only weirdo in destiny who plays like that either, though it seems pretty rare.

Nah that's pretty much the state of destiny right now, making the most ridiculous well builds possible to spam class abilities to get through hard content.

Do you want the class ability that shields you from damage, that heals you, or that helps you reload really quickly?? Because... that won't narrow it down either

Been using Thorn/Striga with the Necrotic Grips for the past week and it really has brought a smile to my face. The Thorn is just fantastic and the Striga just melts everything, it really is a blast to play.

I haven't tested this extensively, but the poison bursts seemed to be keeping acolytes staggered in wellspring. It doesn't feel like it always works though, maybe if the poison is applied before the gun flashes with the unstoppable round, the non-unstoppable poison keeps going?

Don't let any if these guys fool you, Titans are the best. Warlocks close second only because of the terrible jump.

Most subclasses have at least one Cool Meta Thing they can do in every category (sustain damage, burst damage, durability, survivability, support), and with Void 3.0 showing just how much cross-theme pollination Bungie is willing to do, I'd say that ultimately the question of "what class do I play?" boils down to four things: 1. Jump Ability 2. Super Ability 3. Exotic Armor 4. Fashion The classes/subclasses certainly aren't homogeneous but are generally capable of filling the same broad roles, so a lot of what to play just comes down to taste.

The aspects make a difference as well. I guess you could build a warlock with the invisibility on finisher & extended effects fragments, but if you play as a hunter there are so many more ways to go invisible. Whereas warlocks have a fragment that just straight up gives you constant devour instead of having to mess about with fragments to get it.

Warlocks propel themselves via flatulence and the hot air blowing up their robes keeps them afloat

That graphic is completely wack! Warlock jump feels amazing when you get used to it, but actually learning its physical mechanics takes time. There’s no other jump in video games quite like Warlock jump

My favourite thing about warlock jumping is how sometimes, if you're ever so slightly off the ground (like the ramp leading into the nessus lost sector they halloweened up for festival of the lost), instead of floofing upwards, you gracefully glide straight forward and off the edge to a slow, embarassing doom.

The graphic is conspicuously lacking in any overhangs that the warlock might bump their heads on while trying to achieve upward velocity that effectively guarantee your death because Warlocks cannot recover from a bad jump.

You know, until you decide to give them Heat Rises, Icarus Dash and an Eager Edge sword. Then it becomes 'I am everywhere now and the game can't stop me'

Is the Grand Overture catalyst bugged? The text says it adds 20 handling, but the bars show that it adds to stability (and maxes it out with way less than 20 points).

Today's legendary lost sector is Exodus Garden; void burn & void shields, very short, not many champs. It's about as straightforward as lost sectors get. If you need an exotic hat or the seasonal challenge, today might be your lucky day. E: have overload grenades on for the overload champs, they're little shits and overload smgs are still taking way too loving long to stun.

The Warlock jump is like having a class that uses R+T held down simultaneously to move forwards instead of just W. It certainly works but there are better ways to do things and solid reasons that control scheme isn't more widely used.
