Lunafaction boots=exotic. Exotic armour perks should be better and more unique than any perk/ability in a skill tree. End of argument.

Apparently Luna works for anyone standing in the rift. So let's look at it again. -- Luna vs Rally isn't really a fair comparison. That's like comparing the Hunter healing helmet to the rift. It's the exact same problem. Lets look at rally: Great for multiple people, can be used to block damage (or some small chokepoints), and is very visible. Lets look at Luna: Luna is a also a team based exotic that allows free reload within a rift. It does cost an exotic slot. It requires the rift. It also requies that people stand close together in a circle (I'm also pretty sure rally lasts longer, but I could be wrong.) -- I still think it's not a fair comparison. For a Warlock to grant this power it would require the Warlock to use their exotic. An exotic they could be using for something much more useful (like the new sunbracers) Also, the rally provides inherient damage protection by simply crouching. Whereas, with the rift, the Warlock has to choose between damage or healing. With a rally barricade with a damage rift, the rift could be protected while still giving cover. Making rally a nice addition. Likewise, Rally is less likely to have 'friendly fire' due to the fact it's so long. Having 6 people in a rift that's circular makes for less room to shoot rockets. This isn't the biggest down side, but it's definetly there. -- So there is still a very big cost here. You're sacrificing your exotic for something Titans already do... Now... tell me... is that really worth it? I think the boots are fantastic for a team without a titan, but why would anyone use the boots when you do have the Titan on your team. The only 'downside' to the rally compared to the rift + boots is that you have to crouch. That's it. That's all the barricade has 'under' the boots in terms of the shooting. And keep in mind, If you DO have a rally barricade on a damage rift, you would never use the boots in the first place. Why? Because, again, Titans get it for free. They still work great together, I really think the boots are only 'amazing' when no Titans are around. It's an alternative, not a replacement. Also, keep in mind, the boots are also useful if you don't have 'enough' Titan. For instance, we have 4 periods of time you can damage calus in a single damage phase. Usually you don't have 3-4 Titans, right? Well, so at least with the warlock, if you really want to max out damage, you could have them wear the boots. However, this by no means makes rally barricade any less useful simply by the merit of needing several of them. -- In the end, you have to give way to the fact that Titans have the ability for free, at no cost, and able to use whatever they will at whim while still having rally. Warlocks, on the other hand, do not. They need to sacrifice an exotic, they need to choose either health or damage (since they can't hide), and they need to really weigh the option if it's even worth having the boots when you do have a Titan (that's going to put it down anyway). To just say 'this is better than that' is still to not fully understand how the team comp and the restrictions of the boots itself (really, that's the only thing your getting is help during a damage phase). To say that warlocks get it for free, or that Warlocks rifts are not 'just better' is a bit of an overstatement. An alternative? Yes. A replacement? No. Especially not in a team with a Titan. Again, why would you waste the exotic when a Titan does it for free? -- What you might need is a 'barricade' themed exotic. Say... if a Titan wears it then all magazines reloaded by the barrier do more damage or something. Something that makes Titan barricades have that 'special something' that's just awesome. (I guess you could say... more buffs less nerfs :) ) I get what you're saying that the 'auto reload' is a bit of a niche that Titans had. They could certainly stand to be the clear best at doing it. However, still, the boots are never going to replace Titans because the boots are an exotic, the boots aren't useful for anything else, and why would you use an exotic if you have Titans already. In a few weeks you'll still see plenty of use for the rally barricade, I think that the damage protection you get from it is kinda unfairly underrated, and I'm almost curtained the barricade lasts longer than the rift (rift is 15 seconds, barricade I think... is like 5 seconds longer)

One is simply a class ability, one is [i]Exotic Armor[/i]. Don't get offended when a lock sacrifices an exotic slot for the team so everyone (including you) can have a bottomless mag instead of having to teabag the floor to refill. You're able to have your barricade [u]and[/u] have a separate exotic.

[i]Titan plants a bubble in enemy spawn, and the enemy surrounds it[/i] Enemy:[i]CHARGE![/i] First guardian runs in and gets demolished by the bubble bro. Enemy backs up and sits there. Bubble bro:[i]Who’s next?[/i] Enemy team stands there and looks at titan, then turns and runs off. [spoiler]This has actually happened to me multiple times. [/spoiler]

IMO they just need to release an exotic that actually effects the barrier. I’d love to see one that lets you shoot through your towering barricade. S***, what if they put that on the Crest of Alpha Lupi? EDIT: The biggest problem I have with WoD right now is that it’s completely inferior to the shield in PvM/PvE. It’s immobile cover in places where you almost always have cover. Most if not all of my clutch saves have been with the shield, blocking. I only use WoD in PvP where immobile area lockdown is the bread and butter. Immovable object is my game. In PvE, that’s a death sentence.

The problem isn't the Luna boots. Problem is Titans get no love. Our exotics are trash, our supers are uninteresting, and we don't do anything better than any of the other classes. We need to see a return of Titan Skating Blessings/weapons of light Ruin Wings
