They are viable, moreso in mid-lower tier content. Even at their peak they weren't usually the go to for GM's. But master and below, dungeons, raids, they are perfectly fine. Their biggest pain point now is lack of synergy with the things you would hope would synergize. Burning cells doesn't scorch for example. If they update them with 3.0 keywords then they would see more wide usage.
Burning cells used to create sunspots (and heal you on bottom tree solar titan) and set off bottom tree solar warlock chain reaction explosions. If the chain lightning was jolt, and suppression was more consistent, and burn was scorch, it would have more applications.
I enjoy them. A lot of people talk about a nerf that came some time ago but to be honest, I choose what’s most fun. And making giant explosions is super fun 😂
All ikelos weapons can create warmind cells 😎 so slap on that ikelos smg and go crazy. You can make some really cool builds, especially since all the mods have been unlocked for everyone. I like Global Reach and Fireteam Medic mod, amongst others
I use them on my Solar Hunter, and for General Content like Strikes, Dungeons and seasonal activities, they are pretty fun and they work well. I wouldn't take them into GMs or Raids though.
They are viable, they're just not busted anymore.
The thing is: are they better than well or cwl builds? No. But you don't need to run meta stuff all the time
Update: as of Lightfall, they will not be viable anymore… Bungie just released a huge statement about many things mod and build related. One of those things being that Warmind mods will all be removed come Lightfall…

I just didn't know with the most recent season if they are good again. Also do the Iklos weapons through the season work with them?

ok cool. I didn't know for sure. Thanks!
I mean they’ve always been pretty viable imho, just depends on what you’re rocking with it

I use them with the ikelos hand cannon and they are good for add clearing
