With new subclasses inbound I'm wondering if Bungie is planning on doing anything to incentivize players to use the old subs. My plan would be to drop a new piece of top tier exotic armor for each of the old subclasses.
And so, this is what my ideas are for what those exotics would be...
WARLOCK
[b][u]CHARLEMAGNE'S CROWN[/u][/b]
Exotic Warlock Helmet (Sunsinger)
[i]"Only the most righteous may claim this crown of kings. You may proceed."[/i]

[b]Innervation[/b] - Orbs of Light reduce Grenade cool down.
[b]Quintessence Transfer[/b] - Replenish Super energy when you kill an enemy with a Grenade.
[b]Divine Right[/b] - Song of Flame affects all allies regardless of distance. Triggering Radiance at full health gives you and nearby allies a Flame Shield.
Alternate Exotic Effects:
