I just watched a hefty 4 hour session of gaming where my brother was showing me the ins and outs of the voidwalker way.. and I must say, they are the most powerful class in the game.
They get the Titan Defenders overshield, except they don't have to kill someone to get it, just injure them.
They get the Hunters seeker grenades, except their's seeks aggressively like the Truth rocket launcher.. and they have an agility modifier that increases it's range. This grenade can turn corners and will seek people for over 5 seconds..
They get a melee as powerful as the Titans, except their's has range.
They get a super as powerful as the Titans, except their's has range.
They get blink, and with an exotic chest piece their axion bolts get two seekers..
Their melee, while as powerful as the Titans, also drains energy from enemies and puts that energy towards cooling down their grenade..
The biggest thing though: their melee range, and how that effects PvP after the shotgun nerf.. They can now shotgun you and before you get close enough to one shot them with your shotgun they can melee you because of their melee's extreme range.

Edited by R 1 C 0 C H E T: 10/19/2014 5:14:48 AMFor clarification, the Sunsinger gets the shield and not the Voidwalker. Also the armor rating on said shield is 55, while the Titan's is 75 (this, coupled with the fact that having PvP relevant skills on renders it a little difficult to get a higher armor rating as a Sunsinger so only having to hit someone to get the shield feels a little more balanced.) Also, the Titan's shield is the basic melee upgrade, so you can have a shield in addition to other things. I know that the Sunsinger has burn DoT as it's basic melee which is good, yes. That being said though, knock back and a 4 meter (?) diameter explosion on kill are the other choices and personally I don't think I've ever used either one save for testing. I can concede the range though. I know Warlocks have 6m, Hunters have 4m (blink strike makes 6m and throwing knife has range as far out as you're good enough to hit people with it) and Titans have a 4m range. I don't know why they did that, but that's how it is.
