I agree with most of what you're saying, but you did miss one point that's been on the rise since the 2.8.0 Update. [b][u]Code of the Missile[/u][/b] - more consistent Thundercrash super - Inertia Override when sliding over ammo reloads your current weapon and gives a damage buff - Death From Above melee causes damage, knocks back enemies, procs Inertia Override, and gives a chunk of super energy on enemy kills. Ever since the change to this subclass tree, CotM has gained popularity. Pair this tree with Antaeus Wards, and you've got a sliding shotgun user's dream loadout. Even without being a shotgun slider, this subclass tree is still quite viable. I wouldn't put it on Code of the Juggernaut's level when it comes to consistency, but I think it rivals it when tree synergy comes into play.
