[Ideas for Warlock powers... exempli gratia Hologram?]

I've been seeing some posts describing Destiny's "magic" as "Armor Abilities 2.0," and that got me thinking... I know there are a lot of posts about potential Warlock powers, but no one's mentions the Hologram power from Reach, which I think could be pretty awesome if implemented well. Say it worked like it did in Halo: Reach, but maybe the hologram could shoot (without doing any damage to you, but maybe you receive the "incoming fire" visual cue when hit), or it lasted longer, or there were two holograms instead of one... Any thoughts on this or any other warlock "spells"?

  • OK well I have some overkill answers. I guess I've been waiting for years to complain. A long time ago there was a game called PsiOps - The Mindgate Conspiracy. There were powers in that game I have never seen since = {Telekinesis, Remote Viewing, Pyrokinesis, Mind Control, Aura View, and Mind Drain}. Obviously Bungie would have to rename them, but Telekinesis has got to be an obvious one. When I think about elemental powers (and I always play a Battlemage) it's really all about picking one and amping it to the max. So if the Warlocks only had Fire, that would be fine, so long as it's a huge raging burst of hotness. The ability to walk or see through walls is always cool, and probly not hard to program. I'm really kind of obsessed with area denial abilities. So my favorite skill would be for a Warlock to make a mind control spell - something that effectively works like a flashbang grenade but makes you stupid, or drop your weapons or money or something. Some force impervious to armor.

  • It should be able to break dance.

    What hologram needed was nothing as overt as "Oh, it needs to fire his gun while it runs", it just needed some basic utillity. Hologram would be so much better if they designed it so that you could launch a Hologram that strafes. It would be pretty easy to design to, when you press the Armor Abillity Button in, it memorizes your body orientation, and you look and release in the direction you want the hologram to run. It doesn't affect noobs who were used to the old abillity (tapping it will still send a hologram out ahead of you), and someone with basic abillity can easily make holograms that strafe out from behind objects.
