Currently warlocks are the only class in the game that don't have a support class. Titans have defender, hunters have nightstalker, but warlocks don't really have one.
People could say that Sunsinger is that warlocks support class, but at the moment it is a slightly worse kill super than stormcaller with very meh utility outside of fireborn.
I would like to change that.
The following are the changes I feel that are needed to make sunsinger a truly great support class, but still letting players have the option of playing the class offensively.
Feel free to comment below about what you think and bump of you feel like this should happen.
[b][u]Sunsinger rework[/u][/b]
[u]Radiance changes[/u].
• Make radiant skin part of the main super perk
• add increase allies armor and recovery to song of flame
• remove radiant skin perk.
• replace radiant skin with " while radiance is active, enemies around you take burn damage. "
• change fireborn to " if cast while dead, you do not receive a buff to your armor while radiance is active
[u]Scorch changes[/u]
• buff Solar wind into what the taken phalanx can do with their shield
• removed brimstone
• replace with meleeing the ground creates an AoE that buffs allied weapon damage and reload speed while they are inside the AoE.
[u]Ability Modifier changes[/u]
• Change Radiant Will to " kills while radiant is active extend the duration of radiance. Kills from Allies effected by song of flame extends its duration for half that amount.
• switch Viking Funeral and Touch of Flame locations
• remove sunburst and Move Gift of the Sun to its place
• change Angel of Light to allow you to fly for 20 seconds( jump button =move up, crouch button = move down) cool down = 50% of the time it is used( if if you use it for 20 sec, it has a 10 sec Cd. If you use it for 10 sec, it has a 5 sec CD) , also prevents all fall damage by slowing you desent before hitting the ground.
• put " kills with solar damage abilities have a chance to generate Orbs." Were Gift of the Sun was.
Edit adding a change log to the bottom of the post.
Nerfed the Max duration of Angel of light, changed the Cooldown time to 50%

I kinda want fireborn to kill you but revive all dead fireteam members, just because I like the idea of being purely support and not buffing yourself in anyway.

1 Replymake it a long distance res where you can use it on another player, super is gone but has some more use.( yes I know its a copy of mayas siren power, but hey I still want it)

3 RepliesThe Sunsinger subclass definitely needs some reworking. There are too many unused nodes in the skill tree. While I do like most of the changes; I do not agree with the changes to angel of light. This boost doesn't provide a reasonable trade off to the grenade modes available in that tier. In fact it will probably lead to players accessing areas they shouldn't be able to get to. :S

4 RepliesSong of Flame. But no one uses that because everyone runs Fireborn. Song of Flame reduces all cool downs for nearby allies. Super included. And it's a significant boost.

1 ReplyWarlock supports the win.

1 ReplyBUMP FOR DAYS. Yes, Sunsinger is a relatively strong class in many ways. However, since it's supposed to be the Warlock support class, how about just some tweaks in order to actually provide group support? Self-rez is amazing, but not a REAL group buff, and Song of Flame is an utter joke, not to mention you must sacrifice self-rez to even use it. Please Bungie, help Sunsinger support!!!
-
Ignore all the haters, I think this would be great no real reason to use Sunsinger now except for self res. I wish this would happen but I doubt they'll redo an entire subclass
-
Self-res is support; it's insurance for your team or mission.

7 Repliessunsinger is one of the most epic support classes. I have no idea how you even consider it not to be. You can self ressurect. Enough said. The solar grenades are an excellent tactical tool. You can carry two and with a good build, you can spam em just like your in the super. the solar grenade pushes enemies out of its radius. So you can stall enemies easily with it. The melee attack gives a shield on impact so that increases your chances of survivability. Support doesn't always have to affect damage. Sunsinger keeps the fireteam alive.
-
any changes to the sunsinger would only nerf it. it's perfect as it is.
-
Everyone always says the suns Ingersoll support role is for self ressurection. But that's not the only thing you can do with your super. You can also use it to recharge your teammates abilities, so your teammates can spam grenades too. This ends up being overlooked almost always so the lock can hold it for a res. But you can't ignore that.

Yea no, I don't want a support class. I like sunsinger how it is

11 RepliesI didn't read the rework but getting the Sunsinger emblem has easily been the most difficult quest for me so far. The class is not good in pvp at all. Getting those double kills was a struggle. Only been working on stormcaller for two days and I'm almost done should be done in the next couple matches and voidwalker was much easier too. I could see the defender quest as the most difficult in the game though. I'm surprised people haven't been complaining about that.

1 ReplyYou do realize that Sunsinger is already a support class, don't you?
-
-
10 RepliesWould immediately get nerfed because we already have the best melee and grenades.
-
1 ReplyIt is a support class lmao. All it's good for is self res, extra grenades, and song of flames. No where in the subclass does it suggest it's anything but a support class.
-
2 RepliesThis would be cool but this might be too good
-
2 RepliesIt already is a support class if you run song of flames. Extra ability cool down for allies is ridiculous

2 RepliesI like all of your proposed changes except the flying. That would be a little much and could be abused in PvP.
