Hey everyone, so I've been really into Destiny the last couple weeks, and I had an idea!
I noticed that under each class there is an empty slot for another sub-class that hasn't been added. I was wondering if maybe it could be an ice/chill/frost elemental class.
In most games mages have a choice between fire/electricity/ice. In Destiny you get to choose between Fire and Void. I really love playing with ice magic and I would [b]love[/b] to have an ice elemental subclass. Maybe the element could be added to certain DLC guns too, doing cold damage over time and slowing down enemies, kind of like how fire damage slowly drains health. It would be a good counter to the charging enemies like Vex, Thralls, and Knights, and maybe give you a slight edge in PvP against rushing shotgun users.
Imagine an Ice Fusion rifle, seeing your enemy freeze solid before shattering, (kind of like in Mass Effect!), or an ice grenade that explodes and freezes enemies in the blast radius, upgraded causing a lingering frost mine (kind of like void grenades only frost damage)!

And grass/fire/water/physic/rock/fairy/dark/dragon types EXOTICS, GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
-
As neat as your idea is, Bungie is no where capable of doing that. Piss poor development tools, lousy coding, and lack of direction plague the development team. Hell it took 5 months just to fix one bug.

How about space energy
-
Sorry bud but our subclass abilities are based on forms of light. Ice isn't a form of light. Though it'd be cool
-
It's arc/solar/void "light". Last I checked, ice wasn't luminescent, although neither is void. But it's ok cause "space magic"
-
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the third subclass slot will be filled in the Comet DLC. It will be the element each class doesn't have, so that each class will have one subclass of each element
-
Plasma subclass would be cool
-
It would be cool, but the thing is there's a strong theme of the abilities being types of "light" and ice doesn't give off light. Idk, maybe a certain exotic could do some freeze effects but don't make it another op scandal please!
