So, like I tried (months ago) to tell every religious fanatic who was 200% sure that the "extra Subclass slot" is proof of a 3rd Subclass coming at a later time, Bungie has now very surprisingly confirmed that the slot served a purpose for Subclass locking, an intended feature that would allow multiple copies of the same Sub.

The game would let you make another copy of that build. That’s what the slot is there for. When you needed to make a copy of your arc titan build because you just locked the other one, we had to make room for that. So that’s why the third slot is there.[/quote][/url]
