Great Idea to Replace Lance Perk on Voidwalker...

Since almost anyone who has ever played as a Voidwalker knows.... The Lance perk is Grade A garbage. I recently was thinking of something that would be better instead of that perk, and I've got it right here: [b]Super Nova:[/b] A Voidwalker Warlock takes their charged Void energy in each hand and quickly slams them together (much like fission) to cause a Void explosion in a large area surrounding themself. ...and yes, this will not actually hurt you when you use it! (Because nobody likes hurting/killing themselves when they need to use their standard Nova Bombs on the ground next to them) Because it isn't ranged like the others, balancing will then give it more blast radius than the others. Let me know what you guys think in the comments... Edit: Thanks to all you guys who have put some thought into this post and having conversations with me :) This is my first post thats really "blown up" for me.

  • Why are you trying to make a voidwalker fist of havoc

  • Super nova would be a terrible idea for starters everyone knows the warlock has crap armour rate compared to the titan or hunter so you wouldnt get in close enough to do what you are thinking. I do agree the lance perk should be upgraded not changed though, like making the nova bomb a bit faster or increasing the traking on (not like the truth).

    • Lance should have truth tracking and a larger blast radius imo

      • No I like using Lance and wrecking people on the other side of the map I'm almost flawless because of that and I'm going to continue with trials today make shatter go away from nova bomb not shatter grenade

        • As a Voidwalker main myself that is a avid user of the class in both PvE and PvP I actually think Lance is underrated in the latter mode. My reasoning behind this is simple. The perk Lance gives you two things I value highly when using Nova Bomb to shut down roaming supers that are so affectively attached to the "meta" by making the animation substantially quicker. This also has the added benefit of giving opponents a smaller window to evade the super. The second benefit it grants is that travels in a straight line allowing pin-point accuracy that many newcomers lack causing failure of launch in a panic or frentic state. Of course, for PvE, Lance is essentially useless. AI enemies are simply not reactive enough to dodge away a Nova Bomb in most scenarios, but as for PvE it can mean the diference between eating a hammer to the face or not launching the super fast enough to catch the HMG wiping out Zone B. However, I must say there is definately a tradeoff if that the massive AoE capabilities of Shatter, which I consdier a equal choice in PvP, or the zone controling lingering effect of Vortex, but I value the afforementioned traits of improved velocity and accuracy that Lance offers in PvP. I hope this comment is useful for at least one person. I highly recommend giving the perk a chance. It may take a bit of adjustment, considering the possibly jarring effect of a straightly traveling NB instead of having the accostumed arching path, but nonetheless I highly recommend it.

          • I would say the ability to have a nova laser would be better, it would be a sustained beam of void, once you cast it you would be very slow, it would basically make you an ogre

          • I want a perk that makes it like how you slam the spark in rift. But sadly it would just be a FoH pretty much. Except they explode when killed.

          • Lance is actually a really good perk for 3v3 game modes. It gives enemies less time to run backwards, blink or Twilight Garrison out of the way. It's also really good for shutting down arc blades, stormtrances or HoS's that are rushing you.

          • While the idea sounds lovely being a Warlock and all, it wouldn't work. It would essentially require a Warlock to get up close and personal which means we would have to take damage. In our current state, we still can't tank enough in a scenario where that would be useful. Also, Lance is an incredibly useful upgrade for Nova Bomb. In PvP maps with a bit more open space, Lance can help you secure a few kills from across the map.

          • Voidwalkers don't need another Fist of Havoc ripoff. You already have Landfall, which basically kills anything in a fist of havoc-sized radius anyway.

              • Garbage? Did he really say that? You must be a titan, maybe even a hunter. But we all know you are not a true warlock.

                • I think it would be rad if you could activate it and then when you die the next time you would explode so you could run in all kamikaze style.

                  Give them a helmet that gives lance nova equivalent damage to nighthawk. And a much faster lance speed as well Edit:another idea, something similar to an actual black hole. Pop super does some damage, pull enemies in and deals damage over time for...... Lets say........ 5-8secs?
