Personally I absolutely love the sunsinger subclass in both pve and especially pvp. It has one of the strongest neutral games period. It might not be as fear inducing as a sunbreaker, blade dancer, or stormcallers while their respective supers are active, but a sunsinger capacity to be lethal and control engagements extends outside of radiance. If you run a high discipline built, you can almost always have grenades available. By running gift of the sun, you have 2 grenades that charge in 25 seconds each. Meaning if you toss 1, wait about 13 seconds, toss another, you'll have a charge again in 12 seconds, and then again, 13 seconds later. And two of the three options you have for grenades (fusion or firebolt) are arguably two of the strongest grenades in the game. Or you can run my personal favorite, Voidfang (grenade energy on spawn), high discipline, Viking funeral, touch of flame and firebolt. You don't have grenades up quite as often but its still rather frequently. And with this built, your grenades will burn enemies, delaying recovery and possibly even resulting in a kill. If you combine either of those builds with bonus super energy on grenade kill it also allows you to gain your super rather quickly. Then toss a weapon with grenader on and you're constantly gaining either super or grenade energy on kills. Put all that together with the highest melee range, plus strongest melee ability in the game, and you can see how strong a sunsinger can be in the right hands, before having factored in the super. Now enter radiance. First, unless you're in Trials, run radiant skin. A max armor build, with radiant skin, and an active flame shield can tank a shot from golden gun or a hit from a blade dancer and live. This defensive aspect really allows you to dominate even in a group of enemies. I've personally gone toe to toe in a melee battle with a blade dancer and won, plenty of times. While under radiance, your melee is a 1 hit kill against any enemy not under its super. And again, aside from one specific perk in the stormcallers tree, you have the highest range on this. You basically always have grenades while in radiance. You can either spam fusion grenades or have fire bolt grenades rain down around them. Either way, it's likely to result in death if you have a good hand with them. I will add that fire bolt grenades hit multiple enemies in the area and if you run touch of flame, continues to burn them, making them my preferred option. There are so many different effective builds and playstyles associated with sunsinger, you just have to find the one that works best for your playstyle. And once you do, it becomes one of the most consistent killing machines out there. Key word, [i]consistent[/i], it's not just a waiting game till your super is ready like other classes can be. That is why, in my opinion, sunsingers are one of the best classes in pvp.

Sunsinger used to be the most fun to use until Bungie nerfed the recharge rate on the grenades when your super is active. Now Sunsinger is really boring to use compared to the others. Thanks Bungie for taking a lot of our fun away... [spoiler]...Damn you Bungie :( Sunsinger vanilla RIP[/spoiler]

Because of it's neutral game. It still has the best neutral game. Sticky Grenades are very powerful and 2 of them is even better, along with Firebolt which pre-nerf was very OP. Solar nade was okay, the 2 others are much better. Sunsinger still wins the title for the best melee in the game. Shield on hit with long range doesn't even need explaining, it's so good. So while having these great abilities you have Radiance, which ENHANCES these abilities. Grenade spamming is f*cking fun and Scorch is a 1 hit kill + shield. It's not as good as it was in y1, because the new subclasses, but it's still so good. Heart of Praxic Fire makes it even better [spoiler]PRAISE THE SUN \[T]/[/spoiler]
