As every Warlock main plays Destiny 2, they often fall into 1 of the 10 stages described in this video. As they progress on their journey through the stages, they are known to do a few signature moves that define their class. Stuff like gracefully gliding to their deaths whenever they encounter a moderately challenging jumping puzzle. Of course, every Warlock has their own little quirks and each individual will walk their own path, but this video is simply a collection of some of the most defining Warlock moments that almost all players experience along their journey. Regardless of what class you decide to main, I hope this video is enjoyable and paints a picture of what it's like to be a Warlock.
This video is a part of my "10 Stages of Every ____ Main" series that was originally suggested by a viewer and inspired by Hamaji Neo. Check out the playlist for the series here: • The 10 Stages of Every...

Just as an idea.
It’s about dam time we have been waiting
i've been waiting for that video thank you !!
I started playing Destiny about the time you made 10 stages of hunter main. Warlock is my first character and main till this day. I was in the last weeks of Forsaken and I watched it I think once WQ debut. I've waited a year for this and It's finally here. Your series is super accurate. It felt like someone taped my D2 experience and put it in a video. Except maybe stage 7. My friends are so good at the game I never really had the medic phase. I wasn't the cornerstone player they need to provide debuffs or spam rifts etc. So being the medic war rather unrewarding. Other than that I can safely say with 2K hours in the game I'm a good stage 8.5-9. Still making the rare rookie mistakes like bad rift placement lol, never used heat rises or wellskated but I've set a path to flawless many things like raids and dungeons. Similarly I've attained the status of resident lore nerd of my fireteam. It's a chore but a thrill to catch up on lore actively compared to others who know it because they've sat through it, Taken King and before to Lightfall. I'll see you at stage 10 someday Shadow. What I'm trying to say I guess is you've been a key part in my D2 introduction and watching myself run through these stages with stage 10 being the next and final step is exciting.
PS. Guilty of being a floater because I can't see people if they're in the air so I go in the air. Then I realise others aren't as dumb as me and can look up. And I REALLY want hood of the exile.
That bit about stage 9 warlock seeing enemies not as obstacles but as catalysts to trigger perks is so true. A red bar isn’t a red bar it’s 5 Solar grenades. That group of enemies isn’t enemies it’s an empowering rift. Or a burst of healing. Or an explosion that melts the rest of the room.
2 red bars close together = 1 stasis turret
Simple warlock math
yasss, heat rises, fly up, see where the red bars at, throw charged melees, back to yellow bar, throw 5 nades, repeat.
For me it's volatile rounds, void damage boost, damage resilience, elemental wells and food for my nezerecs
@@detectivepotato6983 running low on health and see a single thrall. Two calculated shots from my smg, throw a charge melee, now I'm a hungry immortal.
We warlock get hungry
Shout out to all the early stage warlocks, you got this and you’re healing and empowering goes a long way for the team.
The biggest stage is 100% the accepting your role as a support. Watching the entire fireteam flock to you like a golden god the moment they hear that sword hit the ground is so satisfying
Thank you 🥲
@@mildchaos6037 I dafenatly agree on that 🤭🤭, since i am a stage 6.5 (which is a combination of study and the medic🌚) and still working my way up (after a lllooonnnggggg time since i stopped playing destiny)
Born to nova, forced to well
I'm still in Stage 2 Warlock... 🗿
I can't honestly put into words just how accurate this video is. Holy hell, man, even 7.5 was a perfect hit. Blinked through original kings fall myself.
Blink is the superior movement ability. Instant crossing of distance and when mastered, you can cause total mayhem in pvp
Spent hours blinking through whisper😅
Dude had this video spot on but Ive never used blinked lmao never will
As a warlock main myself, someone who picked warlock launch day on destiny 1 and still has not even tried hunter or titan to this day.. You absolutely nailed every single stage, this video is amazing. Well deserved like and sub earned from me.
Man I played a warlock in the beta for destiny 1 and still a warlock main to this day in destiny 2
@@ShadedVits great to see some of the oldest warlock players here. I too have been a warlock main since D1 Beta. Same character from all the way back then too.
wild how ur content and pleased just playing warlock typically more intelligent people need an "escape" or to fresh up stuff constantly and i think smart when i think warlocks although not calling you dumb but thats insane
@@Hero_Of_Time94 warlock is best for PVE even with the well abt to get nerfed moderately still yk for PVP bubble and well only S tier super unless u have a aim assist controller golden gun then maybe hunter too or a smart hunter who can tether or use his more "skillful" supers compared to just pressing f and putting a bubble or a sword down lol
I was a crayon eater but then I saw the light and because a warlock
Fun fact: Nezarec's Sin actually works with any subclass as long as you get void kills. So kill something with, let's say a funnel web, and it'll give you that ability regen for solar, arc or stasis. It obviously works best with void but ya know.
you can do the same with crown of tempest, just have a weapon with voltshot, as its now arc abilities or jolt kills
@@vulpesumbra7738 sadly they patched this a couple hot fixes ago. I honestly didnt know that until then.
@@gavinraw8635 I think it still works. I got jolt kills with delicate tomb and it still worked.
tbf he didnt have any void weapons on in that segment
Didn't know that. Might try it out. I do have Graviton Lance so this might work wonderfully
YES YES YES. I BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR A WARLOCK VERSION
SAME
same here man
You and I both man! :D
SAMEEEEE
Eyyyyy same here
I watched Fullmetal Alchemist and saw that the warlock had a fire snap melee ability and i loved the class even more
If you haven't please try it wish sun bracers and Roy will have nothing on you.
@@dravenmlm4185 i made a whole vid using it after finding out it was in my warlocks inventory lol
Full metal jacket is better
This dude really just told me my entire life story this past week until stage 8...
And yes, blink is my child that I will nurture till the end of time.
blink is horrible
I got the blink exotic helm today so it's time to go to the ascendant plane and weep
As a warlock main who’s been though every stage I can say this made me smile the whole way (:
Same here
Sameee 😂
Same, but with every class
Omg same
Agreed. I was just nodding along all the way through stage 9.
As a Warlock main since Destiny 1 Day 1, over the past 8-9 years of this game with easily 5000-8000 hours across both games on all platforms, I can commend this video. I truly felt connected to the last two stages of Warlock and I can fully agree that I have committed to the bathrobe, once believing we were the worst class and to know that we are the best class now. I was initially going to play Titan coming from Halo but as soon as I booted up to the screen to choose my class back in 2014, I picked Warlock because Harry Potter! I have no regrets and I am a Warlock main to my soul...
A wholesome origin
Felt this a lil too much🥲
You are why warlocks are called nerds
@@riddell26 we embrace it, like true warlocks, I feel it’s cringe to be a sweaty hunter though. My respect goes to the crayon munchers
I am a Titan main since 2015 (as i played 1 year warlock) and to be honest, i feel like the game has really evolved in all this years, i remember playing as a kid (i am 13 at the moment) and i have always explored every area and each of my moments on destiny, like casting my first ult, unlocking my first exotic class item and using saint 14 helmet, unlocking Last Word (in destiny 2) with 500+ deaths, those moments, are the ones who marks a guardian, ae choose our fate, those moments define us
As a warlock main. This make me happy knowing there someone out there who knows our pains…. And amazing power
Me seeing this at level 5 👁️👄👁️
As a someone who has reached stage 10, as a proud Warlock with about 2k hours in the game, I can with no hesitation say, that this was 100% spot on
thanks! :)
I'm about to break 1,700 myself, and yeah, absolutely no lie detected. On the contrary, I think it's hilarious how accurate this is. I just entered Stage 9 this season, and it's insane how different the game looks now, and how much system mastery benefits the warlock specifically.
I got 2k+ hour myself and I can confirm, we all just want the Bathrobes/Dresses
@@Enzar17 only 1700 hours I'm breaching 10k yes i no lifed years 1 and 2 and then slowed after
3.5k here and I whole heartedly agree
Probably just me, but when I started playing, warlock jump felt amazing to me as it was not like anything I had seen in other games.
Until I got additced to burst glide. Then I just fell off the map.
True i started with a hunter and couldnt make jumps at all then i went to warlock jumping was a breeze.... then the arc rift with arc soul goodness
Felt amazing until I did my first few whisper runs, then I started to grasp the movement more
You also fell off (+L(+ratio))
I cant stray far from strafe, I love the ability to be accurate since my shots can't be
Yes, I too have mastered the art of gracefully falling to my death.
When someone asks me to use well i bust out the void melee build and proceed to always be the last one standing
7:04 nah I love the cowboy hat on warlock
“My brother in Light…”
Speaking as a warlock main this is the most Warlock thing you could possibly say… 😭
I'm a lone wolf warlock.
All my D1 friends are gone now.

Completely insane and act without thinking and bash their heads into a wall so many times that the wall falls down eventually. Also they wear the Hot Wheels colors on their armor
Ahhh, the true stage 11.
Permanent brain damage.

Warlock of mass destruction
Gosh this is so spot on ! This brought back so much memory of my journey to stage 9 warlock, it's incredible.
Wow what a video! I've been playing D2 since the start of Season of the Haunted and I think I'm at a stage 7-7.5 warlock. The way you described stages 1-7 are absolutely true when I started playing and it got me a bit emotional cause what you said was really on point. In that time frame from the start of SotH to Season of the Seraph, I've feel like I've grown A LOT as a warlock main. I dont have tons of builds yet but I am experimenting a bit with some of the gear to make those genuine mid to high end builds to eventually start soloing dungeons and GMs. Again, what an amazing video!
Funny thing is that the warlock „glide“ is more realistic than the other class jumps, but still the hardest to learn for new players or Warlock haters. It only requires logic to understand first
I'm a Stage 9 Warlock Main (with bonus blink phase). I agree.
It's hard to learn initially but it's VERY Destiny-physics bound. Once you learn that, it's awesome. Specially when adding Heat Rises.
Try falling a foot off a ledge and use logic to glide back up. I've died many times trying
@@Hugehat in shattered throne the combination of icarus dash and an eager edge sword saved me in some impossible ways
I took to the warlock glide like a majestic effing eagle, when I made my titan I was so confused. I was like, I thought this was supposed to be like a jetpack... why is it just worse glide?
@The big shout simply use logic to not fall in the first place
I originally had a Hunter back in d1 launch, but sometime before ttk I saw warlocks with Radiance and liked how that looked and also simply bc they had the different grenade throw animation, so I switched to a warlock main and been so ever since.
Same
I was the same with hunter, but once Necrotic grips came out... I've never touched another class since, granted I rarely use necrotic grip synergies anymore, it was a good catalyst to improving as a warlock
Same just I tried titan second for about a year than I found warlock
Same with me...Hunter in D1 and some time after ttk and before Roi I made a warlock ..been a warlock ever since..I don't have a Titan, tried one on my nephews profile and flying bricks just ain't my thing lol
Back in D1 My older brother forbid me from making another character because it would “take up too much storage space”
I now know that he was completely wrong and being a dumbass… but at least I chose the correct class for me first.
EVERY warlock main is born the same way at the same moment and that moment is throwing their nova bomb
My father got me into destiny in 2018 but I didn’t like it as much then in 2021 I came back to it and I was blown away by all the stuff I missed about my old warlock account and seeing this video is reminding me about how much stuff I still have to accomplish even only putting in about 96 hours (according to steam) into this game.
As a Warlock main since the D1 Beta, I can confidently say this class is so frustrating and yet so rewarding all at once.
Lowest floor, highest ceiling. That's us.
@@dougcarey2233 LMAO the whole game is just aiming and ability usage ur not special
@@naf8787 Nope. I'm not special.
@@naf8787get over yourself
I may be an outlier but I "tested" Blink during Stage 1 and decided to get good with it before moving on.
Turns out that getting good with Blink early actually really helps with learning how to use momentum to your advantage a lot sooner.
There are tons of little variations in the stages. Most Warlock mains I know started as another class but moved towards Warlock, kind of like the opposite of stage 6.
@@alderstifen7738 I was a titan on like stage 5 or 6 then swaped to warlock now on stage 8,9 or 10
@@alderstifen7738 yeah, I started as hunter, then switched to warlock and never looked back!
ive been using blink since d1 and still use it in pve and pvp void walker is my main subclass, then it goes storm caller, shade binder, dawn blade, havent figured out where strand will be in the list it might be my new second.
I think I've used blink once since D2 came out but props to you
I was at one point a stage 10 warlock before 3.0 builds but now I am a Titian and I still like reminiscing on my warlock journey that started on d1 rise of iron after playing hunter and then Titian for all of d1 before that
Thanks for this. I started halfway during season 20 and this is an accurate reflection of my progression. I don't really clan but like to figure things out myself, and I'm currently on stage 8.
As a d1 warlock main this brings back memories specially the nova deaths and blinking around.
So many times I swear I was one pixel off from a perfect nova bomb and ended up nuking myself to oblivion lol
Kind of crazy how well this described my own journey as a warlock main over the last 4 years.
I am literally seeing my friend go through this entire process right now since he started the game a few weeks ago
Easily top 5 destiny youtube videos ive ever watched, this is fucking amazing, and I felt truly connected as a warlock main
wow, thanks so much!
Seriously this hit fucking home
As a warlock main from vanilla destiny 1, this is spot on. We already went through some stages like learning blink’s true potential back in d1 (rip blink+ shotgun) but everything is true. From lore scholar, to one main fireteam, to guiding and just helping players in anyway they can. 1500 hours on destiny and 1400 are on warlock. Space magic!
Now I anticipate the inevitable 10 stages of a fun main.
Fellow fun mains, rise up.
what is fun?
*adorns an aggressive sidearm, tricksleeves and le monarque*
Aye. I'll rise to that call
@@temp3608 the people who can have fun with every single class and subclass regardless of it being meta or not.

Absolutely loved this breakdown, never knew the true depth of it. Truly impressive.
I resonate with Stage 7 so much.. literally, I made it absolutely clear with my friends that I’d be running Well with Lumina a whole bunch of times. A good majority of the time, I’d end up making clutch heals with the Lumina and preventing my teammates from getting killed or damage buffing. No idea what stage I’m at rn, but I can confidently say I’m in stage 8
TL;DR: love Well build, feel like I’m at stage 8
What a video man this basically describes my experience through d1 into d2 and currently coming back to destiny and hearing this is wild
Took me all the way back to my vanilla D1 days. Progressing through the stages of mastery over nearly a decade is an experience I'll always treasure
I’m at stage 8. I’m slowly feeling the potential a warlock truly has and I’m proud that the countless hours has led up to this moment.
Stage 9 and yeah, Warlock is insane with the builds you can make. Build crafting with Warlock is extremely satisfying, and getting builds that work are extremely fun.
Stage 10 Lock, but on the Lore side...
Builds are nasty, and your creativity, nastier. The meta is full of builds, and anything you can think of has been done, except for in PvP. I suggest you play it if you want to make unique one of a kind builds.
@@barstool9156 Nice to meet another 10, there's some stuff I still need to learn (well skating) and I don't dare touch blink until it gets fixed.. 😭😭😭 But I gotta go fast and kill those ads. 😁
(Also, if anyone tells me I wasn't the reason we survived a difficult encounter due to clutching, *I will kill you!* (In crucible (Maybe (I suck at PvP))))
Another stage 10 lock here. Been warlock since launch of d1 and I was stuck at stage 8 for years. Then after coming back for the 3.0 update in the span of a month I made 10 new builds, started soloing all the content I could, and went flawless in trials for the first time. The best part was giving the builds to the other locks in my clan so they could get stronger
@@Ixarus6713 warlock well skating isnt too hard on pc its just a practice thing
I’ve been playing warlock since Destiny 1 after feeling out titan first on day 1 and then hunter and then finally settled to warlock since it has always met my needs when it comes to surviving and using my enemies as that survival tool as well. I definitely think of myself as a stage 10 but with my builds usually with stage 7 when there’s teammates
Stage 5.1 when you created a male warlock and realize how it's the worst mistake you did in the whole game
Watching a late stage Shadebinder or Voidwalker work is truly a sight to behold.
Shadebinder main here. Can say from experience I've had a whole nightmare containment crew just stop killing shit and watch me as I proceeded to put about 20 turrets all over the cestellum 🤣🤣
@@austinfinch3668 right 😂 I be doing the same..just out of boredom in certain activities.. Just to see how many turrets I can have on the filed at once...I'm like lets freeze the whole world 🤣
my best friend is a hunter and is always amazed at how hard we are to kill if we can keep devour going
Eyoooo. Voidwalker here. Titans have there punch. Hunters have there knives.... IVE GOT BOOOOOOOOOOOM
That's me, I literally stand outside the balefire in current seasonal defiance battlegrounds, taking tick damage, and spam everything I have the whole encounter, and average 220 orbs of light created each time loool
I love how this hits every concept of being a warlock I was stuck at stage 9 for about 2 years, after which I just let go, go with the flow, teach and help out my clan members and just embrace being a warlock so I think I finally achieved lvl 10 in 2022. Looking forward to acquiring new knowledge and furthering my build with my teammates in lightfall.
that's awesome!
after watching this, i could say that i'm a strong stage 6.5, but i can relate to what you said in all the stages that came before that, also about the stage 10 as today i asked for help in my clan, a warlock stage 10 joined me out of the blue and instead of rushing the mission and be done with it ( which he could since he oddly one shots everything lol ) he showed me how to move and what tactics to use at which time to be able to solo it next time, even let me clear the waves solo as practice, now i'm in love lol
o m g. you've definetly described EXACTLY how im feeling when playing warlock for the first time. Im new to destiny 2 and I feel exactly to how your describing it. Thats crazy bro, sick ass video!!!
I'm a stage 10 but battlemage armored warlock drip is still my favorite. There's something so satisfying about the heavy armored d&d cleric vibe, or the lightly and almost sinisterly armored hex mage aesthetic
As a stage 10 warlock main and a byf disciple this made my day
Still in stage 9 but I'm learning the lore Byf vids are amazing
So can you guide me I’m stuck at like stage 5-7
@@XSoulgamez i would like to, however due to how lightfall is changing builds and mods i would wait till i figure everything out
I became a byf disciple like a year ago lol
I don't know about anyone else but I definitely went through the blink stage around stage 3 and totally brushed off the support stage
Omg dude spot on! I've been running warlock exclusively for years, love it but went through the exact stuff your video points out, 😂😂 excellent job!!
6:57 I made my Kitsune mask have either arctic pearl or SUROS modular so that the white glowing eyes are as bright as possible. It also works with the Rhulk emote’s white neck/collar piece when you just stand.
I love how genuinely accurate this video is
It portrays Warlocks skill being based on that Warlocks knowledge which is true both in lore and gameplay
I’d say as a Stage 9 Warlock who has dabbled in the other classes I believe that Warlocks have the biggest learning curve and have the biggest differences between a new and veteran player
Plus that bit about Warlocks seeing enemies as catalysts for our abilities is very true as well
Good work overall!
Everytime I got my melee charge (solar brazalets) and see a red bar ready to spam solar granades.
as a warlock that has been through every stage, this video is great. i especially connected with the last 2 stages, as they perfectly describe my progression as a warlock over the last few months. although i have strayed from the warlock path and am a stage 9 on both my hunter and titan, so i'm not sure if i can be called a stage 10 warlock anymore
I identify most with stage 7, although I've played so long I'm beyond. I'm so hopelessly comitted to being a support in all games, i feel super seen with that stag callout. I got excited when i got it from Xur today lmao
9:23 this is actually why I’ve stuck with being a warlock. I get to be an effective healer and people will take me into their fireteams, no questions asked.
Cant believe you didnt mention the celestial armor set in the fashion segment. Probably one of, if not the best, sets easily available. Every armor piece from it is goated.
One of the first sets i bought was that because i liked the star theme
word.
Also if you want to take it even further, use the monte carlo rifle. With each damage you do, it increases melee cooldowns dramatically. And with each kill theres a high chance to fully recharge your melee skill. Actual warlocks dream.
I am currently in stage six, however, I am not at all disillusioned with being forced to well. I've always been a solar warlock main, before I even realized how good they were.
However, I'm also currently spending a lot of time as my arc titan. Im still a warlock main, above all else, but ad clearing with trinity Ghoul and thundercrash is a fun change of pace.
I'm curious about what a "10 stages of" would look like for those who play all 3 classes
I feel like post getting stage 10 of one of the classes that you feel you mastered you would start like soft rest and start playing more consistently the other tow
The ultimate guardian
I refuse to believe that someone plays all classes evenly. Everyone always gravitates to one class or another
as a stage 9 that mentally skipped 8 (because as wellskates are neato and ive learned, it was never "everything), these representations on warlock progress is quite accurate. i doubt other classes look at enemies as we do or comprehend the terminology that we were forced into reguarding our exotics
I watched your other two videos about Titans and Hunters, and only this one about the Warlock journey is truly beautiful from the start to the end. There's no tryhard phase, no egoistical trip, no tbagging phase... The Warlock journey is only about becoming the best space wizard and achieve the greatest PvE feats, and there's beauty and innocence in it.
Or bro has a bais towards warlocks
Judging by the comments on those videos though, I think it hits with those people too. We’re just warlock mains so this really just makes sense to us. 🤷♀️
I went from titan to hunter and finally settling with warlock and have not regretted my choice in my main
Stage 10 for me was becoming addicted to non meta weapons because of their hidden or unappreciated potency 😂 voidlock with nezarecs sin and ruinous effigy is godly
I agree with you. I now, after all this time, find it most fun to play with weird weapons and exotics. There will always be the meta builds u can go back to, but I enjoy the weird makeshift ones the most.
Effigy is my main exotic and probably will forever be. I just love the damn orb gun too much to ever give it up. Traces are awesome by themselves, but the orb feels awesome to slide in and grab while it's midair, it provides you a great survivability power in its drain guard (even after it was nerfed) and there are few things more satisfying than slam dunking that ball onto some unsuspecting goons from twenty stories up as if you were a titan LOL
I can't believe how accurate this is. Not sure I stand as a 10 but I do love helping new warlocks and actively encourage new players of other classes to try it out.
Also, I can recite the entire set of books of sorrow from memory so there's that xD.
I knew I wanted to main warlock from the second I saw the character creation screen. But my friend told me titans had more health, so I played Titan until the Wendigo farm last season. I cried when I learned how to wellskate a few weeks ago and when I died 32 times on the Vow jumping puzzle, so I totally cried watching this too. 💖
As a stage 9 warlock, I can say that I am very proud of how well he did his research. I love how accurate this is. 😂 I just hit the solo everything faze and can’t wait for the rest lol
Oh to be able to play and experience this game just like I was first hopping in the beta. Man those were some awesome times and now 2k+ hours later between D1/D2 I really can say this game has a certain pull or magic that makes me come back to it from time to time even just to watch others enjoy the game. I haven't really played in over 2 years but this game most certainly has a special place in my heart.
You're pretty on point. Literally my journey right now, one month in, Stage 5ish, first character ever and warlock (yeah, glowy ball was cool lol)
Just started last week and this just made everything make sense. Great video
I'm progressing back into stage 10 after taking a break and regaining mastery of content and buildcrafting again has been a great experience.
So accurate and well done! I love how you used a ton of the suggestions the community gave in the comments of your original poll.
Thanks man
Loved this. This really brought flash backs when I started the game as a warlock last august the grind was real tho lol
8:41
As Rylee said many times: "Born to Nova, forced to Well"
Edit: He just said it afterwards :u
This is the Quality content I was looking for!
Amazing work as always.
My first class was a Worlock (I do play as other classes sometimes, but I'm a Warlock main), fell in love with it, liked the jump and didn't take long to understand how it worked, the supers were amazing, and loved to flex on my sister trying to do jump puzzles as a hunter (she wasn't very good) while I was just floating around to the other side of the map :')
I am currently maining warlock for Strand and my current flow setup is melee based by running Monte Carlos, Chromatic Fire to complement Monte, the Threadling grenade, and Threadling artifact to increase range, damage, ect.
this is the third time i watch this video.
the first time i watched it was 6 months ago, when it got posted.
seeing myself going up the stages with time makes me realize how much i've improved.
i went from "okay but wtf is an exotic and how do i get one?" to "haha yes grenade spam with sunbracers goes boom"
i can totally see that i still have a lot of room for improvement and the hardest thing i've done so far was soloing the prophecy dungeon.
i'm currently trying to solo spire of the watcher but the final boss still kicks my ass.
hope that one day i'll be good enough to solo a raid.
I became a warlock main at beyond light launch when enough pressure from my almost exclusively hunter main clan caused me to cave and dawn the dress. It hooked me instantly.
Now, more than 2000 hours later, I'm proud to say I'm a stage 9 player. I have tons of builds, know how to use them all, and regularly teach raids. I've solo flawlessed every dungeon in the game and farm GMs every week.
I hope to eventually move on to stage 10, but I still have a lot to learn. My next step is a Day One. I tried with an LFG at Vow but we couldn't get past caretaker. This time, I have a fireteam already ready which I put together myself. We won't get worlds first, but I'll be damned if we don't get that clear.
Lowmans?
@Dan Raids with less than a full fireteam. Usually when someone says "lowman" they mean 3 or less members.
The only one I've done so far was a Rhulk, but it was pretty fun and made for a decent challenge.
@@yoshigottagun haha ik was it is was just wondering if you had done any - you should do more they are good trio flawless dsc and vog are easy and fun :)
I remember a few years back in 2019 when my cousin was telling me about how this game had “magic wizard” class. I said “that sounds cool. I’ll give it a try.” 3 years later and here I am still. Shout outs to all my fellow fairy-jumping, bookworm, warlocks out there!!!
Dude, I love my warlock, and it's jump since vanilla D1. I was instantly enamored with the warlock and in early days, I loved having a controlled glide, and as I progressed, I felt like I was flying. Even to this day, I adore this class and have played way more on my warlock and hunter and titan following last 😂
I started as a Titan, then played Hunter for a time, then finally tried a Warlock all back when Destiny first came out. I still remember that first Nova Bomb decimating a Fallen Captain and I knew Warlock was right for me. I may be a Stage 9 or 10 now, but I remember the old days, although, I never learned the Well-skating.
As a Stage 9 Warlock who started back in D1 let me tell you, the journey to stage 10 is a long one, but while the destination is important, so to is the path you walked to get there.
I’m at stage 11, trying to get a a head piece that doesn’t look bad or weird
There are so many good helmets. Sounds like a stage 7 problem to me
I was a stage one blink warlock and I always remember I queuing up the duality dungeon and my teammates were like don’t use blink, so I switched off it to a regular jump and didn’t know how to use it and kept falling to my death. So I ended up switching back to blink for the rest of the dungeon lol.
I ran Blink as a hunter in TTK D1 and that was what made me get into warlock, but now i just main stormcaller like i did in ROI D1
I recently returned to be a warlock main. I haven't been one since the red war.... . Very glad I first chose magic over stealthyness and bulkyness
I'm at about 2800 hours, and I would say I'm a solid stage 9. It is CRAZY how accurate these 10 stages are. A fantastic job.
You're at 2800 hours and not at stage 10?.......tf
Tf are you doing at this point?
😂🤣😂🤣
Great video as a Warlock main I took a break for a couple years and came back to find out how much fun some of these builds can be. Finally getting Strand having alot of fun learning it and hopefully i will master it soon as i get more of the perks of it. Still resort to arc for solo stuff tho
Great to hear!
I amined warlock from d1 launch til s3 of d2, and has just come back two weeks ago, this was a fun watch! i for sure went through all the stages in my first run of destiny, but now I'm back, years later, at the stage of "Wait, what's a good build now? My void melee is a ranged orb now?! WHAT ARE ALL THESE OPTIONS IN THE SUBCLASSES???????" I'm having a blast re-learning the destiny meta lol, feels like launch all over again! The game has changed a lot (for the better imo) since we helped osiris on mercury!
Fun Fact: Nezarec’s sin actually works with all subclasses, but to get the energy boost the kills must be void, so you can be on a solar subclass but as long as you have a void weapon getting you kills it will activate the buff from Nezarec’s.
Yeah we know. If you look in the video, I was not using void weapons either
As a Titan main, watching mains of the other two classes learn and develop has only ever made me appreciate my choice even more.
Not because the other two seem weak or dumb or something, but because watching them makes me appreciate how each of us grow and evolve as our classes, and how together we can use our skills and knowledge to our empower and protect each other.
Despite our differences, despite our playful and petty rivalries, Warlocks and Hunters are my brothers and sisters. And I'm proud to be the first of their fireteam.
As a hunter main I am still very jealous of how cool titans and warlocks look like
@@limitless_ftw As a warlock main I dont mind swapping my glorified wristband for your cape
@@RykardLordOfBlasphemy21 As a hunter main I believe every class needs a cape
Yeah this game has amazing feeling of identity for your character
@@limitless_ftw no, no capes!
2:17 I had this moment with my friend I was teaching the game to 😂 except he was on arc and it was after hours of grinding him exotics he said he chose that one because it looks the coolest and it was really strong. Placebo effect
The second I see a redbar I immediately think "firesprite, sunbracer activation, or ignition". It's so fun to make quick decisions on the fly and watch them pay off in real time
"There's so many exotic choices and combinations that they feel overwhelmed"
Ah yes I know the pain of choosing between sun bracers sun bracers sun bracers and let's not forget sun bracers.
Seriously so many of sol warlocks specific exotics are so boring or bad compared to sun bracers and on the subclass that is necessary for so many encounters that it's really the only exotic u need. Necrotic grips on a strand lock is my fav build tho especially bc of thorn buffs.
I used to play as a hunter but later on I switched to warlock now I’m can say I’m a stage 8 warlock main with 730+ hours and I have so much pride for it…
I still have more room to improve on warlock but I am happy to learn more!!😊
Get nezarecs sin
Me: the void it calls
My fireteam: you good my guy
I just gotta say it for clarity, b/c I'm sure some people will missunderstand with the current context given in the video.
You CAN use Nezarec's Sin with ANY subclass. So long as you are using a void weapon. Vood weapons kills WILL accelerate ability regen in other subclasses other than vpid.
I got Contraverse Hold as a drop while I was in stage 3 and ended up skipping stage 4, now I think I'm just loitering around stage 5/6 because I refuse to use solar
Stated a Warlock purely to use Nova Warp and haven't swapped off since.
Really long story ahead
I've played since Destiny since its original launch. I actually started out as a Titan and enjoyed it, but then my older brother also started playing and picked Titan as well, and much better than me too. After feeling upstaged, I decided to switch to Warlock.
It felt really confusing to me at first after playing Titan, especially the gliding, but after a month or so, I got the hang of it. Not only that, I started to like Warlock better. Running Sundance and Shatter Nova made me feel like a badass.
Then Taken King came out, along with Stormcaller, and I immediately fell in love with it. In the wide words of Th3Jez, I was literally Jesus the Super. And it was awsome for me to just go Emporer Palpatine on anything in my way.
Then D2 came around, and I was depressed they removed the original Sundance super, but I got used to it as well. Since then, I've grown more and more as a Warlock, actually making builds and using all sorts of exotics, and when Forsaken came out, I did it again. Same with Beyond Light, and I'm going to do it with Lightfall too.
Long story short, I love Warlock, and looking back on my journey, I'm sure I've never made a better decision to switch in my life
I'm a comfortable stage 8, inching at 9, at the moment. I chuck grenades like they're candy and I glide around the map like I hold a monopoly on regular passenger air service, but I've also started seeing red bars as things to charge or chain my abilities.
