      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.

    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.

    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...

    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!

      Hunter can go invis, help the team go invis, debuff enemy to take more damage, be quick and agile; Titan can generate overshield for self/team, "silence" enemy, tank attacks, create titan bubble OR ad clear with same subclass...

    Oh my god, I'd never heard "Born to Nova, forced to Well" before but that is the story of my LIFE

    I’ve just made a warlock (hunter main) and just WOW. They have so much more than us hunters! I got it from 1600 to 1794 in about a day (including artefact) and I’m absolutely loving it. I have an incredible build (PVP and PVE) with starfire protocol. My hunter might get a bit dusty…

    ... I'm realizing. I went out of order and did stage 5 at like stage 4 and now I'm on stage 4 And theres still Leaking hints of stage 5 remaining.
    Also, my personal favorite headpiece is the last stag and for a while. I just used it as my main armor exotic, no matter what scenario because I looked freaking sick.
    I also learned how to glide at like stage 3. It's really not that hard. But that's probably because I was a solar main which as warlock is like training wheels for your glide.

    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.

    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 😂
