Radiance was so much more than self res, & the D2 version seems like it'll be even better.[/quote] As someone who used to run sunsinger with damage resistance buff over self res [i]except for in trials lol[/i] along with flame shield melee and solar grenades…I do kinda agree with OP, it was fun in destiny 1. But I do feel disappointed. I have no doubt it’ll be good, but I feel like we already kinda had sunsinger if you put sunbracers on slapped an orb mod on to Gen orbs on grenade kills, then bonus melee energy on orb pickups, and then you essentially had sunsinger all over again, especially if you combined it with having your melee give you radiance. On top of having your actual super whether it be dawnblade or well. I think the kick in the balls for some people is you see hunters and titans with brand new supers and then you kinda just see warlocks with the EXACT same radiance animation that you do in D1…

  • That's just an animation though. Function matters more than anything, & I guarantee nobody will be complaining if it boosts DPS to crazy numbers. I'm already brainstorming thousand voices & solar LMG builds for it lol

I'm already brainstorming thousand voices & solar LMG builds for it lol[/quote] To clarify I would LOVE to be wrong, solar subclasses have been my fav to play ever since D1 (kinda hence my username) but unless like you say it boosts me and my friends DPS to well of radiance levels I just don’t see where the super will find its place in end game where I mainly play I’m afraid. And of course it’s just an animation I understand, but I feel like I would’ve appreciated at least a new animation for it. I totally understand if you feel differently, but from my point of view ‘functionally’ I feel like sunsinger is already in the game, especially seeing as the current version is simply an exotic pick and 1 aspect to turn it into what is essentially the super from D1, along with melee making you radiant for a damage boost on any weapon as is and having infinite uptime on both abilities simply through gliding in the air, with added benefits like constant regen cause of kills and firesprites spawning. That’s not even counting the bonus of having dawnblade or well on top of that. So for [i]me[/i] when I saw that we’re essentially that but sacrificing well or dawnblade, it kinda was a letdown. However it remains to be seen what we can really do with this new super, but for the time being I don’t see it really competing with what you can already do in the game with 1 aspect and an exotic. I’d like to hear what builds you’re working on. I’m working on a build with the new fusion that may as well be a rocket launcher, I’ve started working on an infinite rocket uptime build for it, combining with the boots that make you radiant on fusion rifle kills. You essentially get infinite rockets with using your grenade and you get infinite uptime on radiance through fusion rifle kills. it’s not meta in the slightest but it’s fun.

  • [quote]I’d like to hear what builds you’re working on.[/quote]Your build sounds awesome. There really isn't much to think about. The new super will reduce ability cooldowns & enhance abilities for the player, so we'll basically just spam fusions (or solar grenades 😉) like the old starfire strategy. The super will also give scorch to all solar weapons though, so we'll be able to spam ignitions too. I'm assuming 1KV or a high rof LMG would be best for this due to how damage accumulates with them (think thunderlord or the retrofit meta, but with solar explosions).
