I love the storm trance super and think Bungie did good on this one. Most supers excel at something and have a weakness somewhere else (except maybe hammer-man), but the stormcaller seems the most well rounded to me. Golden gun gets range, but no defense. Ward of dawn gets defense, but no mobility. Arc blade gets mobility, but no range. Fist of havoc and nova bomb get instant, devastating power, but are one-and-done. Storm trance gets a little taste of everything. -Good damage, but not instant death. -Slight defense boost, but not as much as BD/SB. -Better range than arc blade, but not long distance. -Balanced perks to fit your play style (unless you use Impossible Machines and have 2). -Normal, unhindered mobility. Even then, it still has a niche role at clearing masses of low-health adds. If I didn't already love my warlock enough, now I have even more reason to.
