It is very bad it does not kill or attack and does not defend because it can now be destroyed. In one hit from hammers or golden gun so pretty much if they hit it with hammers everyone's dead. It does nothing for offence and now nothing for defence. What is the use in this subclass now ? They may as well get rid of it.

It's better than golden gun if u can use it correctly, weapons of light one shot body shot, for your whole team, blessing lets u tank a golden gun or hammer, recharges both melee and grenade so u can suppress a supper charging in, it's a pve based subclass but can be used very affectively in crucible, throw on that 1000 yard stare and weapons of light, your team will become a team of golden guns with a great cover. I can see how it could be a little frustrating with an unorganized team, but it will turn the game around for you if used affectively, I personally like the high impact sniper + weapons of light and helm of Saint 14 in case there are any pesky shotgun runners that u can't control with the 1 shot sniper and you are good to go. Take it for a spin, it will go from losing to winning in an instant, with those perks, orbs, and insane cools own time on the super, your team will love you and u will get plenty of hate mail form the other team

That my friend was an amazing answer. Thank you very much I will try that.
