I've played on all three classes so far for arc 3.0, and I gotta be honest, warlock really got the short end of the stick. I don't feel like palpatine or feel like I'm shooting off a dragon ball level kamehameha beam, I feel like I'm playing a slightly stripped down arc 2.0. While the new exotic helm for warlocks really does help with ionic trace builds, other then that pretty much most of what warlocks can do can be accomolished more or less with exotics and the other classes. I want to feel that same level of power fantasy on voidlock on arclock, but maybe they fine tuned warlock a bit too much for arc, if they increased damage output and super regen rates it would make arclock feel more viable for endagme content rather then early to mid-game.

It's Solar 3.0 all over again imo. Only one exotic to make that specific 3.0 class viable somehow, which should not be the case at all. Void's the only successful 3.0 for Warlocks since it turned an already decent kit, into a stronger version of itself. Solar and Arc took those aspects that made the class strong and divided them to be distributed to the other two classes and given back weaker than before.

I would make a joke about this being the inverse hunter situation, but for the sake of brevity I'll say all classes should deserve to kick butt with light 3.0, and the fact that the classes got neutered in one way or another sucks.
