SIVA Subclass Ideas

Because of Bungie's long history of the number 7, I thought it would be logical to create 7 subclasses; 3 light, 3 darkness, and 1 Neutral subclass: SIVA. The gameplay loop of SIVA will be Consume, Enhance, Replicate similar to stasis' shatter, freeze, and stasis field. Consume: This focuses on creating vast swarms of SIVA nanites that track onto and attack nearby enemies, debuffing them and granting bonus damage. Enhance: This focuses primarily on buffing your allies. Create SIVA mite swarms that surround and buff you and your allies' stats (weapon damage, stability, handling, reload speed, resilience, and recovery). Replicate: This focuses on replicating (copying) defeated enemies. Killing enemies will create temporary allies that fight for you. The Subclasses: Hunter - Predator (Consume) Titan - Enforcer (Enhance) Warlock - Technomancer (Replicate) The Supers: Warlock Super: Digital Apocalypse (one-time use) Create a SIVA nanite swarm that aggressively tracks onto enemies, dealing massive damage. Enemies that die with nanites attached create replicated clones to fight for you. Titan Super: Support Swarm (Timed use) Create a swarm of SIVA mites that surround you, buffing you and nearby allies. Enemies within the swarm will be slowed, take extra damage, and slowly be damaged. (Due to its mobile nature, there will be no overshield unlike Well of Radiance) Hunter Super: Bio Spear (Timed use) Creates a spear made out of pure, hardened SIVA. (R1 RB-Light) Melee attacks that deal massive damage and generate nanites on kills. (R2, RT-Strong) Throw the spear to create massive swarms of nanites that aggressively track onto their target and multiply on kills, but drain super energy faster. Grenades: Nanite Grenade: A grenade that creates SIVA nanite swarms upon impact and track onto nearby enemies. Enemies with nanites attached will take extra damage and generate more nanites on final blows. Enhancement Grenade: A grenade that empowers allies with SIVA when attached to them. Enemies that are attached with this grenade will generate a small nanite swarm. Cloning Grenade: A grenade that creates a swarm of SIVA mites. Enemies that die surrounded by the mites will create allies that fight for you. Melees: Warlock - Mind Jackers: Generate specialized SIVA nanites that attach to their targets. Final blows with nanites attached create new allies. Titan - Adrenaline Booster: Punching an ally improves their stats and grant an overshield (2 charges). Hunter - Poisoned Knife: Throw a knife with a blade of hardened, serrated SIVA that generate small nanite swarms upon impact. Final blows generate more nanites and Precision final blows generate the most. Those are the abilities of the SIVA subclasses. What are your thoughts, and what can be done to balance them if they are not balanced for the sandbox.

    No. Siva is a technology, not an element. I think Siva would make an AMAZING Combat Style mod set though.

    • I LOVE the idea of a diva class! That sounds like it could be so damn fun.

    • I like the idea for a SIVA subclass, but as a titan main i hate defense oriented supers and abilities. It would need to be an offensive class or i'd personally never use it. That would be a shame as i love the whole SIVA thing.

    • As long as it has aspects and fragments to unlock, that way you can make a Barricade replacement for Titans which makes a Titan invisible for 15 seconds, or replace one of the jumps with a Titan Blink!

    • Siva isn't a subclass. It's jus technology. It wouldn't even make sense to treat it like a subclass...

    • Dope idea but unrealistic to implement. Would definitely need to be tweaked a bit. I need them to get a corruption and taken subclass together for the darkness before we get into a neutral subclass lol

    • I get the feeling that at the rate this game is going. That SIVA could just be added as special armor modifiers, or just be made into different Exotic weapons or armor. I would like to see The Fanatic come across SIVA somehow. With all the Fallen turned Scorn, I have to wonder if Fikrul was bound to gain knowledge of SIVA through some defeated Fallen Devils and decided to pursue that to make some Spliced Scorn.

    • But siva isn’t an element so it wouldn’t be a subclass

        No point and definitely not with the warlock getting the weak one and done super while the other 2 get roaming. It has the potenial like silence and squall but the clones sound broken and none of this would fly in pvp so just no. Stasis taught me that the community can't deal with cc or compound damage. Hunters technically have a siva based build around foetracer, swarm nades, and outbreak perfected. Close as you gonna get and that build is still strong even in this climate just because of the lockdown and free damage not to mention the clean up damage from foetracer. This community ain't ready for power fantasy unless all of this pve than sure but pve is boring but to each their own.

        • P.S. think of the warlock super as a meteor shower of siva nanites on the target(s)

          • This combined with outbreak would actually be really epic not gonna lie, since it deals more damage based on the amount of nanites a enemy has
