late game warlocks are going to be the best tanks in destiny.

Because of this combination of skills / perks [u]Arcane spirt +divine order[/u] : this combination gives you 80-90% of the bar filled in both armor and recovery( reduses agility to about 15-20% [u]energy drain[/u]: normally only reduses your grenade cool down but is augmented by other abilities. [u]Embrace the void[/u]: where it starts to get fun. Damaging enemy's with your grenade / nova bomb triggers energy drain [u]life steal[/u] killing a enemy while energy drain is active restores a " significant portion " if your health. [u]the hunger [/u] extends the duration of energy drain With these abilities you should be able to tank very well

  • [quote]life steal killing a enemy [b]while energy drain is active[/b] restores a " significant portion " if your health.[/quote] From the talent calculator on destinydb: "Killing an enemy [b]with[/b] Energy Drain immediately restores a significant portion of your health." Very similar but the key word "with" instead of "while active". These mean two very different things. From what I can tell it seems you have to use your melee while the cooldown is up to gain the life steal effect. This would limit the warlocks tanking ability greatly if this was true. Meaning in order to gain the health you would have to use your melee attack and kill an enemy and only then would you gain health back. I read some of the posts and it seemed like you were saying any kills while Energy Drain was active would result in health restored. Would love to hear your thoughts or counter-arguments.
