Warlock Fashion Options/Class Identity

Warlock fashion is dry, and I think it could use a shakeup. Warlocks have plenty of good pieces individually, but the general format is always the same in that the chest piece is a solid body with flowing lower parts. And the class item? Boring! Let's see some change. Where Hunters and Titans have their class items as big identifiers for their class, the Warlock class items do not have the same visual impact as cloaks and marks. A clear example of this is in the new promotional still for the Witcher crossover. The Hunter cloak is in clear view with the stitching, and the Titan mark made of chainmail is even more present at the forefront of the image. What of the Warlock bond? Not even visible because the bond comprises so little of the overall outfit and thus so little of the visual identity. Chest pieces - I understand the 'dress' might be part of the visual identity of the class at the moment, but it looks too silly. When a soldier goes to battle, they don't have flowing garments because it puts them at risk of being grabbed - so what about something more tight fit? What about a chest piece like Rhulk's? With the big fan behind the head? The last two new raid armors have pushed this boundary with Vow and Root's chest pieces. The extra arms - visually interesting and breaking molds! The shoulder pieces from Vow - visually stunning! But these armor pieces don't have much to go with outside of their sets because the vast majority of the armor produced is still in the same set mold. Class item - Let there be more visual flair! Instead of the bond being more or less from elbow to shoulder, let it be as big as the whole left arm. Think somewhere between a retiarius gladiator and the Captain America Wakandan shield. Or let it have more visual effect! Instead of a 'void class item' being a ring of purple light, let it be two arms that hold up a mini-supernova, flexing and breathing as the energy pulses. And for a 'solar class item' to instead have a flaming phoenix, roaring to life and blazing with energy before fading away and eventually resurrecting. This could even be tied to the class ability energy - no charge? No phoenix. I'm sure there are plenty of good ideas the community has on ways that the current fashion scene in Destiny could be shaken up. These are just a few of my thoughts. What other ideas might the community have?

  • I personally disagree as someone who plays 99.9% Warlock, I have lots of different options available. However more options are never a bad thing. Also if I'm going face to face with an enemy I have way more to worry about than if my robes are getting pulled on than I am wondering where my team went.
