Ward of Dawn should initially give damage reduction while you're inside. On top of that, the Ward should hurt or slow whoever walks inside because there's no reason they should be able to waltz right in (radiance and arc blade being exceptions).
In place of armor of light, they could've used another perk.

It's not fine as is because it's supposed to protect you wile you're inside. At the very least, damage reduction should come with it. Imo, the only super that makes sense in killing everyone inside WoD is FoH because the Titan has to jump inside for the kill. Nova Bomb should destroy the Ward but be cancelled out, hurting no one.

Edited by Sliq: 2/7/2015 8:52:23 PMArmor of Light and Blessing of Light both give you damage reduction, and Nova Bomb doesn't kill the people inside unless the Voidwalker runs shatter, or they run Vortex and the people inside stand in it like fools.

Armor of light gives dmg reduction but not blessings of light. Blessing is just an overshield. Armor of light shouldn't really be a perk; that should already be a feature of the super (like when you first get it at level 4). I didn't know that about Nova Bomb, but I still feel Ward of Dawn and Nova Bomb should just cancel each other out with both being void.

Oh I see what you're saying. I'd be up for Defender being better, but I don't think that much is necessary. Still a cool idea though.

I'm speaking more from pve tbh. Watching enemies confidently walk inside my or my friends' Ward of Dawn and have an advantage (if major) makes me really bitter. It necessitates having armor of light always active if I'm to use it defensively.

I never have a problem in PvE with Helm of Saint 14, Blessing of Light, and Illuminated. The only time it's a nightmare is with Lightswitch on. I'm pretty much only talking about PvP because that's Ryan where balance is the most necessary in my opinion.

Without the helm and/or armor (blessing is situational), the Ward is lackluster for pve, do I use it for weapons of light or orb generation since it's good for that at least. Pvp wise, I can say that auto armor of light would suffice fairly well. I don't think razor's edge should even go through the Ward the way it does.
