So before anyone gets triggered. I am NOT unhappy with Dawnblade. However I feel it could be handled better. At the same time. We won't truly know how Dawnblade functions until the D2 Beta. But, I wanted to share my idea/concept anyways. More so for fun discussion. But also as legit feedback for Bungie. (Should Cosmo actually see this.) So Feedback on what is currently known about Dawnblade: I like that Warlocks get to pull out a Sword of Solar Energy. It's flashy, its epic. It looks badass. But [b][u]I am disappointed with its execution.[/u][/b] The Warlock pulls out a [b]Sword[/b] and use it (a sword) to [b]Shoot[/b] fireballs at his/her enemies. Once again... [b][u]I am trying to reserve my judgement for the Beta.[/u][/b] Hopefully it will actually have sword combos... But the current information on Dawnblade says that Warlocks pull out the sword, jump up & shoot fire while gliding/floating. [u][b]In my personal opinion[/b][/u] why have the sword then? Why not make it something more well...Mage-like. Warlocks are the "Mage" of Destiny afterall. My idea is simple. Super's Name: Radiant Purge Activation animation: Warlock holds his/her arm up then snaps it down. *whip crack sounds* as a solar flare erupts from the Warlock, (knocking back enemies & burning and/or blinding them) from that point on the Warlock a flaming aura coiling around him/her & has flaming wings (like current Dawnblade). Warlock then floats around leaving a flaming trail in his/her wake. To attack, the Warlock then throws out his/her arms, one arm has flames coiling around it & the other arm has flames coalescing into the Warlock's hand. Then the Warlock goes absolute berserker & unleashes a Solar Fury. R2/RT - Flay the Sinful (Working Title) The Warlock shoots a fireball at upon impact goes supernova. It leaves a flaming nova that spirals around & sucks in enemies, after a few seconds of drawing in enemies it erupts into a massive solar flare/tornado thus burning them to ashes. (Can be fired about as many times as Dawnblade. My flavor text makes it sound more powerful than it actually is.) R1/RB - Retribution (Working Title) The Warlock cracks a flaming whip in a frontal cone. Any enemy hit is cut/entangled & then burned to ash. Can be used into a 3 hit combo. 1 - Regular Frontal whip strike. 2 - Pulls backwards on the whip creating a backdraft and flare. 3 - A flourish where the Warlock spins like a tornado and the whip cracks around like tendrils cracking around from all directions of the spin. The premise behind this is that I feel the "blade" aspect of Dawnblade is wasted. I dislike that Dawnblade (like Hammer of Sol in D1) doesn't get used like a Sword. Atleast Hammer of Sol was in homage to Thor in away. But god would it have been nice to SMASH some mofos in the face with a smoldering hammer. Anyways that's it. Any thoughts? Ideas? I made a poll just to make it easier to see what folks think. Edit: Please post when you vote. It keeps this bumped. =]
