Okay, so as far as I can tell nobody is running Immolation Fists willingly. In fact, many are avoiding Sunbreaker. And something about Sunbreaker that I realized never got nerfed, was the hype(r) melee build. But in truth, that's because it would've utterly devastated the viability of it.
I suppose right now it's useful. It can pop an enemy Super in one shot from a very generous range. But it has the quirks of a really weird Shoulder Charge, and we only get like six swings at most I think? Maybe more if you instantly start going but, shit drains fast using Suncharge or not...
I don't know about you guys, but I tend to miss alot. I assume my Suncharge will auto-lock at a certain range, but it doesn't. I'm not really sure as to the exact targeting mechanic, but it seems to appreciate it if you go airborne if the target is airborne [i]before swinging,[/i] even if it's just tapping a quickly.
But I haven't really tested that, because usually my targets just dodge anyways. And it gets frustrating knowing my Super is about to run out. I need something to make this build more viable, like Bladedancer. If they can swing around melee'ing as a form of transportation, I should be able to as well, and I almost can. It's a little awkward for it, though, I'm sure many can agree.
[b]Proposition For Buff/Change:[/b]
[b]Immolation Fists[/b]
[i]"Don't let this sacrifice be in vain."[/i]
Accelerant: Grants Explosive Pyre. Reduce Suncharge's Super use per swing.
Let me get ~2 more swings, please. They miss and I'm liable to get Sniped, Shotgunned, 1HKO Super'd, and so much more. At least give me the same options as Blinkdancers.
I just feel like this is a given considering it's the [i]only[/i] Sunbreaker Exotic and it's utterly useless too, alongside the Subclass. But this could really help improve some of the gameplay for Sunbreakers trying out a different strategy. I'll still try to use it every now and again, but Striker seems more viable w/ Shoulder Charge, etc.
Anybody worried this will 'break their meta' or something?
I'd be up for a different idea entirely. I just want Immolation Fists to feel viable. At this point I'm running Armamentarium on Sunbreaker and Striker because nothing else is worth it (stupid Twilight Garrison won't drop, of -blam!-ing course,) so I'm stuck dealing with crap as far as gameplay is concerned PvP-wise. And PvE is, uh, out of season I guess?
(Can IF's give me a Tripmine Grenade? ...Right, of course not. B[ A former Lightning-Grenader can dream, though...)

Armamentarium has to be the best all around Titan exotic, because nothing else is really useful. Not even the twilight garrison, because I would rather have a second grenade over an air evade
