Functionally, I always liked it. If you use it right it made a decent roaming super for adds or a decent boss super. Not the best at either but useful at both.
But…
I always hated the theme or aesthetic of it.
Throwing a shield like captain America always seemed a bit… off. Not as “off” as throwing flaming hammers, but still not my favorite a aesthetic.
Honestly. I prefer minimal use of magically materialized weapons in my supers. I’m not a fan of hammers, literal shields, bows, or giant swords.
Seems like if we are a conduit of the light we should just be able to use it. Throwing it like orbs or empowering our fists

I think it's what makes a guardian special is when they use the light to pull out a flaming pistol or hammer, or a bow/shield. It often leads to satisfying gameplay uses as well. Celestial golden gun wouldn't be as satisfying if it was just some raw ball of solar light.

Edited by KannibalKlown: 3/3/2022 1:28:11 PMNot really. Hence me saying giant sword. Warlocks used to work that way: throwing void, palpatine arc, or self rez / throwing tons of grenades. But in destiny 2 they gave warlocks a giant solar sword and Titans a void captain America shield. Heck prior to Taken King even the titans only channeled pure light. Then taken king gave them flaming hammers I didn’t mind Hunters using a blade or staff as an invisible assassin. But why do warlocks need a giant sword to throw bolts of solar?

Why not? The sillhouette of a well of radiance or dawnblades pretty iconic.
