Destiny Third Sub Class, Super, and Hive Raid Details - Rumor

GC - "New DLC for Destiny is expected to be released in December and we have a major rumor which gives some details on the new subclasses."

[Smurf1]

I really hope all this stuff is true, I can't wait for a new raid. Had so much fun in VoG and the new one is supposed to be even better.

[Christopher]

I hope not. Hunter subclass looks pointless in PvP and PvE. Damage is king, not CC. We already have one subclass that has a super that's pretty useless in raids due to having to be in melee range for a good amount of time (I use it only for invisibility since if I get in melee range... I typically dead) and another where you expect the golden gun to do some real damage when it outputs less than my sniper rifle (though, it at least can one-hit kill in PvP if you hit your target).

I just hope they do some rebalancing on the core stats of the classes. As it is, they really don't matter that much from having one maxed or one zero'd out.

[BlackWolf12]

You're wrong. Damage is not king.

Both Warlock and Titan have Supers which provide buffs for all fireteam members, as well as other benefits which are not direct damage. A CC Super would be awesome and complete the trinity perfectly.

I can see that Super working brilliantly in both PVP and PVE.

[Conzul]

I agree. The new Hunter looks really unappealing.
More than half of his abilities can be effectively pulled off with the existing Warlock Void Grenade. You can use it to block passages and slow enemy progress already.

The new Warlock and Titan look great though. Can't wait for new Raid. This time I wanna do it first with people who haven't done it at all. Want the wonder, even if it means dying a lot.

VoG I always knew in advance what would happen, and all the guides have neutered its difficulty.

[dumahim]

I don't doubt a new subclass at all. If you look at your character screen, it looks like there's already a box for the 3rd subclass.

[GameSpawn]

It also balances each character class with each element type (Void, Arc, Solar). Right now each class only has access to 2 of the 3.

[TekKing]

"Super: “Void Well” Drops a Void well on the floor. Enemies inside the Void well cannot jump, and have reduced movement speed. Upgrades can reduce all enemy movement, prevent enemies from using abilities, or increase radius of Void Well."

Supers are designed to kill. They wouldn't give a Super that only disables enemies because it would be pretty much useless in both PvP & PvE. Whoever made up this rumor didn't put much thought into it.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

...? Titan has a super that mitigates damage only. I don't see your point.

[nX]

Even if all the current Supers were designed to kill, that doesn't mean there can't be any other types Supers. What's a RPG without variety?

[ScottyHoss]

If turn speed were a factor in movement speed it would mean kills, if you manoeuvre around them fast enough. Easy grenade kills too, and in PvE you could counter the fast moving enemies with high melee damage.

[GameSpawn]

@Kenshin

Exactly. This is why there are subclasses. Each subclass is either geared towards doing damage, taking damage, or team support abilities.

If you don't like the "support" ability than don't use the "support" subclass.

[CorndogBurglar]

Supers are designed to kill?

Titan Defender says hi.

[Naga]

I love my Defender. I feel a bit like a funnel web spider when I sit in the bubble.

[Christopher]

At least the titan super doesn't rely on NPCs running through it, though... And, it's super useful against bosses when you put the run through and get the full shield buff back as well as holding points in PvP.

The suggested Void Well is pointless in both PvE and PvP. It relies on NPCs running through it (which they won't nor do they have to since many of them later in the game jump or teleport, and will do so to avoid going through the void well). And, in PvP, it only slows down whoever you trapped initially, which doesn't stop them from shooting you, which is what most people do instead of running away.

[BlackWolf12]

Supers are designed to kill? Oh did you work for Bungie?

If not, you have no idea what they were designed for. Titan Defender and Warlock Sunsinger disprove your point. Hunter is the only one that doest have a Super which helps players rather than kills things.

[Christopher]

Sunsinger either allows you to deal damage for longer by making you harder to kill (or immediately reviving you) or actually improves your whole party's DPS.

Defender either allows you (and your party members nearby) to deal damage for longer by making you harder to kill or or actually improves your whole party's DPS.

They are designed to improve one's ability to survive and thereby do more damage over time or in general to just do more damage.

That Void ability only serves to attempt to debilitate your opponent, and both will easily avoid it but otherwise be able to do complete damage to you as usual. Just how people easily avoid a grenade in PvP, so too will they avoid this super. But, at least if they get hit by it, they can still do their full damage.

[Panthers]

Those subclasses sound awesome. Cant wait to try the Warlock subclass if true.

[bondsmx]

Sounds like fun. Can't wait. Hope there is some true to this.

[Father__Merrin]

I hope this isn't paid content, destiny needs tons of free stuff and updated game features free of charge

they can sell dlc packs but only to extend the experience that's already there

[Bluebird8]

It is paid, and they can do whatever they want, it is their game..

[our_games_are_art]

I may be wrong but I believe he was referring to the third subclasses not the expansions. I also think the additional subclasses should be free

[JasonXS12]

This information should be taken with a grain of salt. I personally don't think any of this info is real but I could be wrong.

Sounds fake tbh

Some of those Supers doing like they would be OP in Crucible

[Spinal]

Super is meant to be OP. You clearly havent played Crucible.

Hunter Blade Dancer or Golden Gun
Warlock Nova Bomb - I tend to take out a butt load of people at the same time.

[HeavenlySnipes]

I clearly haven't played Crucible? Lmao what?

None of the current supers are OP, maybe the Blade Dancer. The amount of kills you can get with the others is highly situational. People aren't all standing in the same spot so you can send a nova bomb their way, and most Titans panic super and activate theirs to kill 1 guy when they think they are gonna die.

[Spinal]

Dude... Just like the Supers in this article they can be avoided and they're not gauranteed kills.

I'd take my chance with those rumoured supers rather than the current Hunter Supers which almost gaurantee him a kill.

[MAULxx]

If true, is it already on the disc?
