Exotic Warlock Boots - Hermes's Wings

As we all know, warlocks don't have Exotic boots. My only thought why this is so is possibly because Bungie thinks you really wouldn't see them from under the cloaks, that's still a rather god awful reason to disallow a character boots, especially considering not many of the exotic boots to date are much to flaunt around anyways, my opinion of course. There have been many posts about potential exotic warlock boots and this is my idea, Hermes's Wings. My though is to take advantage of the new perks/buffs revolved around shooting your firearm while in the air and damaging enemies in the air and combining that with the warlock's unique ability to float while aiming. Simply put, Hermes's Wings would allow a warlock using the Angel of Light perk to levitate in the air for a longer period of time. Short and simple. I believe this would be a pretty fun perk while also avoiding op status as it is not an attack buff but rather an ability that allows the wearer to become more tactical. So what do my fellow warlock's and the rest of the community think? Would this be fun? Would it be OP? A waste of an exotic? What are your boot ideas for any class?

  • It would need to be combined with some damage resistance as the main problem with staying airborne isn't the duration but the vulnerability. Otherwise, it's a solid idea.

    This would be awesome, but i suggest that the boots give you the perk Angel of Light so we can also use voidwalker... I think that would be awesome because then you could aim your nova bomb a lot more accurately and get kills more efficient

      How about the boots would Sunsinger scorch the ground directly below you for 20 seconds or so? PVE only of course. Or make it a super ability in pvp with said boots. Call it....... Scorched Earth

    • I'd give them Angel of light so you can float and use two grenades

    • To be honest, I think these should buff your glide to act like a titan's lift.

      • I would actually use boots that grant battle runner to every gun. Even more so if it could stack 3x

      • Or how about this instead: [b]Wings of Icarus[/b] The longer you use [i]Angel of Light[/i] to float in mid-air, the more damage you deal and the more damage you take. I think that creates a fun, push-your-luck style mechanic that merges well with [i]Fireborn[/i] (get overenthusiastic and you'll have to self-res!). What do you think?

        • I like this idea, and I think Angel of Light is under utilized. I'm thinking in Trials of Osiris. There is always those long sniper sight lines that everyone flocks to and its quite predictable. With Angel of Light you can jump up and get unique sniper sight lines!

        • These would be cool boots. Like the other boots, they would only be useful in very specific situations. However, fighting Urrox or playing anything with the airborne midifier, these could be very useful.

        • I like the idea. It would be fun to shoot more warlocks out of the air in PVP. ;-)

          Or even this: [b]The Harbingers[/b] [i]They shall look upon Him in all His glory and in that moment, they will learn the true meaning of fear.[/i] Unique perk: Majesty Enemies damaged while Angel of Light is active are temporarily blinded and cannot use special abilities. And just like that, Angel of Light just became an insane opener to run up to enemies and shotgun their faces off!

          • They should allow you to have complete control of your movement while in the air and be able to shoot while airborne while having %100 accuracy and not falling (both subclasses not just Voidwalker and sunsinger)

            • The warlock doesn't have boots because they have extra exotic armor in almost every other case

              • If warlocks ever get exotic boots it will enable them to hover few inches of ground. (Voidwalker).

                • What about: pressing sprint while ascending during glide, allows perfectly horizontal(and forward/backward) movement (mid-air) for 5 seconds...

                • I think maybe make it last longer, and have no cooldown. Such as you can float in mid air and shoot, let go of the aiming to drop down altitude and press it again to float again. Etc
