Why are Sunsingers so useless in IB?

They're useless in every mode except skirmish... Why bungie? Edit: let me clarify, in iron banner/ control you'll face multiple enemies, usually equipped with the best/most OP gear in the game... Now the Sunsinger is not very good a taking and dealing damage to more than two targets equipped with Badass/OP gear Sure you get damage resistance and quickly regenerating grenades, but what use is that when you can switch to a void walker and be nearly invincible while hurling a giant ball of death at someone? You can survive rockets and golden guns with the bare minimum amount of health left but one shot with an auto rifle prior to/ after getting hit and you're done Every other super can counter another... Except this one... Compared to other super's this one seems to be the weakest

    Hahahahahahahah! Not good at taking damage? I can eat a point blank golden gun and one hit melee the golden gunner. On top of that my grenades wreck face. You're just doing it wrong

    • Radiant skin + HoTPF = super tank. Run around slaying and winning all gunfights. It's like a temporary juggernaut suit that let's you 1 hit melee and spam out grenades. Useless? Lol

    • IMO sunsinger is an extremely effective load out for IB, control in general, but I run sunsinger almost exclusively in iron banner solo because I feel like I can do so much damage with more control than novas, I recently got a slayer medal because I used radiance at the right moment. Sunsinger can be run like a hunter super, to great success, it's possible to kill blade dancers and survive golden gunshots, compared to the Titan style nova bomb which functions like a rocket launcher not to say they don't have their place.

      I agree. Nova bomb>Radiance for Control. However Sunsingers have the better melee and grenade. (fusion grenades) I honestly get probably 5-7 kills a game with my sticky grenades alone. That to me is enough to pick sunsinger over voidwalker sometimes. Plus you still can get a few kills with Radiance if you time it right.

            • Because for some reason when you kill them with golden gun out, they feel the need to insta revive while you still have it But sunsinger can insta kill melee you in that mode

                • not really, with gift of the sun and HoPF you can take out a whole team by just throwing them fusion granades.

                        You obviously don't know how to build the proper Sunsinger!

                        • I'm practically a tank as a sunsinger and especially hard as -blam!- to kill when I pop radiance. Learn to play differently or your own way and not focus on one aspect of gameplay or what everyone play.

                        • Spam grenades, reduce team super cool down, self heal (not just res). Yep, seems pretty useless. You need to use the proper build.

                          • I just got a 28.0 K/D 2 matches ago as Sunsinger. So you can eat it. I hope I get to stick a fusion grenade to your head b4 Iron Banner ends again.
