Personally, I like Radiance but I feel like it lacks luster compared to other supers.
That being said, I personally think Radiance should have a perk that helps me share the warmth of the sun with minions of the dark and other guardians.
First off, I DON'T think it should be a class perk. I think I should be on an Exotic Piece of Armor. (Preferably a chest piece because the Flame Wings come from your back)
And by DoT AoE perk, I'm talking about like taking Burn Damage standing next to a Warlock who is in active Radiance. Kind of like standing next to a HobGoblin who is doing the Immune thing.
PvE wise, I would hurt anything that surrounded you enough that you could easily one shot, or melee them and conserve ammo. I feel it would also encourage more Warlocks to use their Radiance more in RoC strikes and other activities that really don't call for Self-Res.
PvP wise, I think it would defiantly be worth the exotic slot for Warlocks who find them selves melee'd or shotgunned a lot. This perk would help more in CQC areas but fall flat in areas that are more wide open. People would eventually adapt however and learn to keep their distance.
The AoE would NOT be big at all. For this effect you work, I'd suggest either at least standing next to Warlock, but at MAX the spand of the flaming wings.
For the Exotic piece, I think it should be a chest piece that's white with a Golden Sun on the back. Or have a hobgoblin look to it.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Edit: While I thought that this would be helpful, I forgot to take into many of the other perks Radiance had to offer. DoT would just be too OP. NobodyJustBrad put it well by saying:
[quote]So, you're just wanting a completely OP class, then.
You want your one-hit melees, unlimited grenades with Gift of the Sun speeding that up because it allows the charge overlap, AND an AoE ignite attack AND self-res... That doesn't sound like too much to you?
Helm of Inmost Light doesn't actually add damage potential. It only modifies movement ability. (Diving instead of lunging and a jump when FoH activated while running)[/quote]

They can already one shot melee you so I don't see the point. For PvE it has a use though.
-
Ya it could replace self res
-
There's going to be some exotic gear that can do that in the HoW
-
2 RepliesIt would be cool if it had a split grenade perk where you'd launch 3-4 grenades at once.

Use firebolt with Viking funeral and touch of flame during your radiance...one of the best supers in the game.
-
Radiance is probably top 3 best super in the game... Doesn't need anything else to make it better.

2 RepliesI personally would like some exotic boots that would add a blast of solar energy when you activate radiance and could also do burn damage to all surrounding opponents. Would be an alright exotic IMO.
-
Can it be green? And turn their whole screen green? :)

7 RepliesNo. You already have one-hit melees during radiance as well as an Ignite perk.
-
Well there are flames shooting out of my shoulders when I pop it, so why not?
-
So you're a moving AoE? Then yes
-
2 RepliesDefinitely a good idea, but I don't agree on Radiance being underpowered. Can't go up against a super from any other class, but that's why you wait until there's a lull in combat and then force push everyone to death with a 1 hit KO and spam grenades like it's nobody's business.
-
This sounds cool
-
I do agree, sunsinger has got some garbage exotics. Basically it's heart of the Praxic Fire or...I geuss...apotheosis veil if you run radiant skin. And if you run fusion grenades you already run the additional grenade perk, making starfire protocol useless.

1 ReplyHow is Radiance not the most OP subclass? You can bring yourself back to life and spam OHK grenades and melees that charge every damn second. You could even use Radiant skin and annihilate an entire team if used with flame shield.
-
There is already a perc on sunsinger where all nearby allies cool downs are reduced its 2nd in the radiance column
-
I don't think radiance needs a buff in any way but nice idea nonetheless

7 RepliesLook up the Ram exotic helmet
