Destiny Beta: Why I Chose The Warlock and So Should You

Destiny Beta is available to those who Pre-Order the full game and after spending the entire weekend playing with all three different classes, Mont Brown from PS4.sx has finally decided the Warlock is his favorite character for these very reasons.

alvinmiller923970d ago

Heck no, I will hulk smash Warlocks with Titans everyday of the week and leap over their Nova bombs.

PeaSFor3970d ago

i wear a fancy cloak and a throw a knife in your face.

Warlock's Special (Nova Bomb), are to OP'd in Competitive MP IMO. Their Grenade Special lasts forever on the field, if they lower it's time rate I think it would be more 'balanced'. I feel that Titans and Warlocks Special are basically a Kill no matter what, whereas with Hunters you need to be somewhat a good shooter since it relies on accuracy.

I will say that Warlocks are the most BA

Nitrowolf23970d ago

actually going into the subclasses, seems some are bette rin PVE and some in PVP. Liek Hunter currently right now is more suited for PVE due to specials doing more damage to bosses their, yet their arc blade subclass looks like it's geared for PVP and just as good as Warlocks and titan current PVP specials

Soldierone3970d ago

@above, I'd have to disagree with hunters being underpowered. If you know how to use them, you can dominate the field with them. I saw one guy go cloaked, put on his special, and took out our entire team.

I think anyone that focuses with a certain class will become good at it. I thought Titans were OP and easy to use, then when I switched classes I thought Warlocks were easy, then hunters etc... It's just a matter of learning the class and using it correctly.

crxss3970d ago (Edited 3970d ago )

hunter all the way. warlocks' are nice but not as good as the hunter, at least in pvp. better than the titan though.

Easier said than done. Warlocks are extremely powerful and like PeasFor said, how can you not love the fancy Jedi knight cloak?

patelsanjeed3970d ago

The Titans built the wall and are needed now more than ever to deal with the hive and fallen threat.

charliewong9803970d ago

I fancy myself a pretty good long range specialist, playing as a hunter is more challenging and something I relish than magic spells.

Scatpants3970d ago

Hunter is my favorite. Even if it may not be as powerful as the other two it is just more fun to play to me.

Hellsvacancy3970d ago (Edited 3970d ago )

Yep, I went with the Hunter, it's really satisfying when I come up against someone who's spraying bullets everywhere trying to kill me only for me to throw a knife in his face, the flaming Magnum is powerful aswel

yep thats why I choose warlock, and you can do that from large distances too :D

henrythomas2843970d ago

Warlocks rule. I am glad the author didn't go with the obvious choice. Most of my friends are playing as Hunters and Titans, but I think I will give Warlocks a chance, once the network is back up.

ArronNelson3970d ago

Everyone talking about Warlocks and Titans. My play through with Hunters have been awesome, couldn't see myself playing with any other classes. Maybe because I love the options of long range and stealth weapons I can utilize with Hunters.

Cryptcuzz3970d ago

I am using the Hunter myself as well, but aren't all weapons available the same to all classes? I play with my brothers and they are each Titan and Warlock respectively and they are able to use the same kinds of weapons.

Frankskint3970d ago

People are underestimating the powers of Warlocks, remember we have only witnessed the surface of what these Jedi knight magicians can do and even what i have seen on the Beta has blown me away.

Warlock all the way and if you disagree I too will throw a knife in your face with my fancy cloak.

InTheLab3970d ago

I choose warlock over very other class in any game and my obsession started 9 years ago in Warcraft. All I need in Destiny is a pet imp named Nalnar or a succubus named Jhornys.

And yeah I agree that bomb is kinda op but it has a very long cool down to balance it out. I'll probably run a lock when the game goes live but will try out the other classes here soon.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast274d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_274d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981274d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140274d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85274d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj274d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman274d ago (Edited 274d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake274d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn274d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg274d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07274d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom274d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac274d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake274d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark274d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde274d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125274d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
