I agree with everything you said...except for everything about sunsinger. I run max armor possible on warlock (without the ram), and flame shield is garbage. It actually INCREASES the recharge time of scorch now, and has an activation time that has cost me battles many times. Even if it HAD activated, I doubt it would even have saved me because it's so weak now. Flame shield can ONLY tank two melees if the other person does not have a melee that does extra damage (storm fist, sun strike, energy drain, etc) and the warlock has no previous health loss, and even in this situation the warlock is left on a sliver. And even if all of these conditions are satisfied, if the warlock doesn't melee first then whoever they are fighting will likely get in the second melee before flame shield activates, which renders to obsolete. As for tanking a shotgun shot? LOL. On your 3x damage after scorching someone, that's incorrect. Vikings funeral makes your target take 5% more damage in one stack, which is all you are ever going to get on a person in crucible as otherwise they will die before reaching two stacks unless they are in their super. 5% is so negligible it might as well not even be there. And yes, th stack IS only there for a short time: 2.5 seconds to be exact. That's how long the burn lasts. And to further make scorch useless, sunstrike's basic, unmodified melee burns for longer, and has an option for a better version of brimstone on HIT, and a much better version of flame shield on kill.

  • Reading your post I realize that it has been some time since I've used the sunsinger for more than a bounty or occasional nightfall. I probably speaking from a 'dated' experience when things were different. And an even older crucible experience as a sunsinger.... While I may not spend as much time as most in the crucible, I do know that there are way fewer sunsingers these days, what you described, sir likely includes some changes I may have been unaware of, yet I have had a similar experience. I am not the strongest crucible player, and most of the time I attribute my loss and sometimes confusion to my skill level, the occasional lag, and sometimes just not paying attention or caring. It takes me many situations such before I would think something is over or under powered, and these situations are still not likely to include all aspects of how so many things working together in this game...thank you for sharing your input, I'm thinking of some things differently now.

  • I apologize for speaking a bit harshly...bungie has disappointed me over and over without changing sunsinger, and when people gloss over it and/or refer to its status before last year's nerf, I try and correct them. Also, if you were speaking of experience before the updates last year, then everything you said was correct. That's just not as it is presently.

  • I try and do the same, I play this game a lot, I don't play all subclasses equally at all times, that would be tough...as I try to keep up with ALL changes, there are lots of them and they can be easy to forget some over time. I absolutely was speaking from previous nerf experience...which is why I said thank you, I mean it. I don't think you spoke harshly, those of us who love this game so much get passionate about it and we can't mistake it for hostility when we have the devs being so shady about their motives in balance changes and testing practices.
