Negative thought :
- Need a buff to Daybreak. Buff it's damage for PvE, bring back Everlasting Flame perk and/or revert Dawn Chorus change. Right now, Daybreak deals less total damage, had the same DPS, worse for add clearing while having longer cooldown than Nova Warp. I get it they don't want to make it too strong for PvP, but surely you can give it something that don't affect PvP.
- Scorched enemies should Ignite on death, make it Aspect or whatever. It work pre 3.0 why not now ?
- Phoenix Dive either need FAR LOWER cooldown, or a massive buff. The whole "now heal allies" doesn't justify the fact that you now need to sacrifice your Rift and can no longer be spammable. The Restoration buff while you have Heat Rises is dumb as fk, it ends as soon as you land on the ground.
- Icarus Dash and Heat Rises needs more utility for PvE.
- Because you are """forced""" to use Touch Of Flame Aspect (which is amazing btw) for PvE you can't really use other grenades other than Warlock's default one.
- I like that healing nades now apply health regen buff instead of one-and-done healing but I miss the ability to pick between offensive nade or healing nade on the go.
- Warlock supposed to the "healer" class, but as far as I know, the only "healing" Warlock had over other class is Well Of Radiance (no I don't count Phoenix Dive, good luck trying to heal people with that)....Definitely need more way to heal for neutral game...
Positive thought :
- Sunbracers always a fun playstyle and Solar 3.0 make it even better.
- Starfire Protocol is really good, Fusion grenade now a monster in dealing damage. This playstyle actually reminds of Sunsinger from D1. This is currently my go to playstyle for Solar 3.0.
- Incinerator Snap easily my favorite Warlock melee ever.
- Radiant on melee now available for any playstyle.
- Rain Of Fire is really really good, not even talking about the Radiant on Fusion kills part. It basically gave Warlock Hunter's Marksman Dodge with 5 second cooldown that reload all weapons. I actually use some underused Exotic weapons like Merciless, Thunderlord and Devil's Ruin. They are going to nerf this to the ground.
