So I was staring at sunsinger perks and exotics trying to find something that this class has that can be taken advantage of. Something unique that made me want to play this class again.
Then I saw starfire protocol gives you a second fusion grenade which let's you take angel of light. This perk let's you hover in the air for about 5 seconds and adds some agility. If you take the full armor / recovery build then this little agility is amazing.
For its build you have 2 fusion grenades and the ability to float very slowly in the direction you jumped. Your agility affects how fast you move while in the air so I keep it as low as possible.
You can do some pretty silly things with this. I've even been able to snipe people by jumping up straight and aiming. I've also floated above a rock that a nightstalker was attempting to kite me around and just gunned him down. Even been able to jump and hover around corners and shotgun down those pesky strikers that like to rush and rush and rush.
This doesn't fix the garbage that is our super. But gives is some very interesting tactics and opens doors for a much stronger neutral game. I swapped to hunter because of nightstalkers just recently... but this makes playing sunsinger a lot of fun again. I figured I'd share and motivate people to try it out.

Another plus, Angel of Light actually makes the gun perk "Icarus" sort of useful and since it seems to roll on pretty much every other gun I get that's a pretty big help.

If you don't want to go quick rez, there is a fun build for trials. Gift of the sun, claws of ahamkara, fusion grenades, Radiant will, and Fireborn (most likely) or song of flame. If you want more fireworks, go with Brimstone, as it reduces cool down for melee and causes enemies to explode. This way you get 2 grenades and melees. Melees recharge quicker, allies abilities charge quicker, and radiance lasts longer (more grenades and melees).

Sorry but I maxx out discipline and use heart of the praxic fire. Normally my grenades proc every 27 seconds plus the extra grenade. With super though I can throw 13 grenades.

Angel of Light is a fun perk that not many people use. Shame. I got into a gunfight with another warlock and it ended with both of us sniping each other out of the air because we both decided to have a hovering sniper fight. It was pretty funny :)

I used to use that Exotic. But then I found the Purifier Robes. [quote][i]Activating Radiance from Death disorients your enemies[/i][/quote] Let me tell you, this works in so many ways in the Crucible, especially in trials. :)

Matrix fights will happen in the next week 😂
