7. Voidwalker
Voidwalker, like a few other classes during Year One, got a nice boost thanks to help of exotic equipment. Obsidian Mind paired with Bad Juju (two exotics that are carried over to Year Two), proved to be a very effective combination for generating Nova Bombs since our last iteration of this list where Voidwalker was ranked last.
Nova Bombs are just as destructive as ever and when paired with Bloom can cause a chain reaction of death and destruction. Voidwalkers are also capable of creating damage over time chokepoints through the use of Vortex Grenades and the Vortex modifier on Nova Bomb. The reason why Voidwalkers aren’t ranked higher however is that they face stiff competition from Sunbreakers that can do a lot of what they can but with less effort, and within their own class with Sunsingers and their incredibly helpful Fireborn resurection perk.
That being said, any situation where you need crowds of enemies blown up quick, a Voidwalker can still do the job. When specced properly Voidwalkers have more defensive utility through the use of Life Steal then some of the other damage oriented subclasses. They can modify their super and grenades to serve a support role, and has strong exotic equipment choices to help keep the Nova Bombs coming.
Voidwalkers and Stormcallers (coming up very soon) serve similar roles in a King’s Fall raid group. Stormcallers and their Stormtrance get the edge offensively while Voidwalkers have some more defensive/utility tools. Pick your poison.
