ah yes, well Voidwalker is a DPS, and stormcaller is good crowd control. besides, sunsinger was originally intended as a support subclass, bungie has admitted/said that numerous times whenever they adjust it. I can see a players attraction to a damage first subclass. to each their own :)
-
well, I suppose you could look at it that way. but couldn't they increase stormcallers effectiveness and maintain this subclass. you have to remember, this is theoretical and I doubt they would ever implement all or any of these ideas, but I truly wanted to make a healing subclass?
-
this was just designed to increase recovery. you have to remember not all classes, in fact most players who don't main warlocks, go for a agility/toughness build. this means that they have to wait about 5 seconds to start restoring health VERY slowly after leaving combat.
-
yes, an entire 7 seconds! but what if you want to maintain combat for longer? damage the boss for longer? take down more adds? push a control point more aggressively? A healing subclass would be intended for more mid-combat healing.
-
that is why you add mid-combat healing . . . imagine if you and an opponent go to combat. you throw a sanctuary grenade before the combat. on average, if two players with hand cannons go against each other, each one gets 2 head-shots and 1 body shot for a kill. 3 shots to kill. while standing in the sanctuary, by the time they fire the third shot, you have recovered enough health to tank it. you kill them with 3 shots as normal, but you survive with health to spare.
