Is Sunsinger doomed?
Sunsingers are arguably the least threatening subclass right now. The class was nerfed [b]hard[/b] and altered to a great degree, rendering the former Praisers either back to the drawing boards or completely hopeless.
My question is: Are they doomed?
By this I mean that I ponder the, if [i]any[/i] at all, fate of the once radiant warriors. With a neutered perk tree and the existence of a new artifact that all but nullifies the little remaining synergy, what hope is there?
The outlook is bleak. It's so late in the game that Bungie is likely not even considering a potential overhaul and the forums seem to have resigned themselves to the death of the Sunsinger.
I worry deeply for the future of my all time favorite subclass. I can't even bring myself to use it anymore except while piggybacking Tlaloc, bless the thing. What are some of your lingering thoughts on this matter, fellow guardians?

Solar Wind and Brimstone were improved with a reduced cooldown, +1 Recovery (Solar Wind) and bigger explosions (Brimstone). Sunburst guarantees an orb with Scorch kill. Viking Funeral has better utility for pve. Song of Flame has improved ability cooldown for allies. So it wasn't all bad. The subclass was much improved from a pve perspective and made less frustrating for pvp. That's not to say that they can't fine tune now to make it more competitive in pvp. They could, for example, revert the changes to Firebolt since Viking Funeral is out of the picture. Or Bungie could simply make the Burn from Touch of Flame slightly more effective. Maybe a middle ground between where it is now and what it was like with the original Viking Funeral.
