I have to say, I really like the Helm of Inmost Light for the Titan; not only does it look awesome, but it also has a very unique feature in that it gives you TWO free perks; "Death From Above", which allows for that epic dive-bomb attack, and "Headstrong", which increases the leap distance of Fist of Havoc when on the ground. Great helmet.
Thing is, it is the ONLY Exotic helmet in the game that allows for free perks; so why don't Warlocks and Hunters get something like this? Especially considering some Warlock and Hunter helmets are a bit underpowered.
Let's talk about two of my favorites; the Hunter's ATS/8 Arachnid, and the Warlock's Skull of Dire AhamKara... and what kind of free perks they could add.
Skull of Dire AhamKara gives you a perk similar to "Unstoppable" for the Titan; you take less damage when using your super. It's not too bad, but... personally, I've never found it to make a huge difference. I wear it mostly for looks.
But if they were to buff it to add a couple free perks, like the Helm of Inmost Light...

Now for the ATS/8 Arachnid. Badass-looking helmet, increased range is a bit situational and underwhelming compared to that 4th Golden Gun shot you get with Achlyophage Symbiote. Add two free perks, and it becomes much more valuable...

Sound good? No? Vote, and post your thoughts.

Being forced to run Lance and Angry Magic, both of which fundamentally alter how Nova Bomb works, is a very bad idea. Unlocking perks that can synergize with any choices made in the tree is what the goal should be. If a Warlock helm provided Embrace the Void and Annihilate, the helm wouldn't force a Nova Bomb configuration on a player and simply provide additional benefits to whatever the player's perk choices are.

Tbh I just wish the skull and obsidian mind switched perks lol

Neither Titans nor warlocks need unstoppable as a free perk
-
Is warlocks have exotic gauntlets that lets us have a second scorch attack that is just as too. We all have our perks lol

8 RepliesDid he really just say hunters and warlocks are "underpowered" net you couldn't kill atheon in a minute with a Titan

See the only problem with your logic is that you can't use headstrong and superman at once. If you jump in the air and aim you aren't able to use headstrong. And if you sprint and use it you can't superman. You've suggested two perks that are able to work hand in hand with each other.

Nice idea's. The skull helmet for Warlock is pretty bad from my experience. I've found it doesn't really do much. Unstoppable makes you tank golden gun shots... doesn't get tankier than that. The arachnid helmet again is meh. Zoom is cool, but compared to the one that gives you another GG shot or the other which essentially gets you more kills with arcblade; it's pointless. Whether this is added or something else; making these other exotics viable alternatives would be nice.

Because the helmet is terrible? It's far from overpowered lol it just unlocks 2 "ok" perks for your super

Are you saying Titans are the best class?

YEEEESSSSSS!!!

Edited by The Epic Rage: 4/19/2015 8:25:34 AMImo the titans also have a weak helm with skull fort. And the strength of inmost could be compared to symbiote or mask of the third man hunter helms and obsidion mind helm or praxic fire chest for warlocks all of which are great but don't grant free perks. The way I see it is the two perks it grants can't be used in tandem since you are either sprinting on the ground or are in the air, that being said if all it did was grant death from above I would still use it. Edit: Though it would be nice for the hunters and warlocks to have an exotic that grants one of their super perks, I wanna see a splitting move bomb that leaves vortex areas.

Warlocks and hunters arent underpowered but he is right their armor is
-
This sounds awesome the ats arachnid helm is so useless
-
2 RepliesI think Ats/8 Arachnid should increase your field of view by 20 or so degrees. It would be trippy at first, but once your used to it, well... Your going to like the way you 'look' I guarantee it.

Starfire Protocol for the Warlock gives Sunsingers 'Gift of the Sun automatically if they are running Fusion nades. Sure its not as beastly as what HIL gives you, but Angel of Light is surprisingly useful! Obsidian Mind is also an amazing super-boosting Exotic. Hunters? Errrrr.....

2 RepliesThis would balance the exotics severely. Bungie, give this man a corner office, stat!

4 RepliesThat would actually make it hard to choose between symbiote and arachnid. For the skull im not a big fan its my warlocks pvp helm and I like it the way it is. Plus for me lance is terrible in pvp

1 ReplyEdited by cjmckesson: 4/19/2015 5:25:43 AMBut providing lance would cause balance issues because of scatter. Imagine 3 giant seeking missiles coming at you haha

2 RepliesMaybe make a new hunter one that caters the headshot perks giving you gunslingers trance and chain of woe for free?

Edited by iMoto Bro: 4/19/2015 5:16:34 AMThe Insurmountable Skullfort (also a Titan Helmet) grants you the Transfusion perk. And Eternal Warrior (yet another Titan Helmet coming with HoW) will grant you the Unstoppable perk. But yeah, Titans have all the best Exotic Armor. Ruin Wings, Armamentarium, and Helm of Saint-14 are all great. I'd like to have something similar for the other classes, especially the Hunter since most of their Exotic armor sucks.

I like this idea
-
Your forgetting about no back up plans
-
I feel the Titan was built for Exotics to take specs in their class trees. Since they don't do anything game breaking. Like the Arachnid having Conbustion and Deadeye/Gunfighter is OP and Keyhole with Scavenger/Trance is also OP. But just a thought.
