6. Stormcaller
The first of our new subclasses added in Destiny: The Taken King, Stormcallers are your prototypical glass cannons. As we mentioned in our list of the best New Destiny: TTKsubclasses, Stormcaller’s super ability, Stormtrance, is a destructive force capable of leveling both crowds and individual enemies quickly.
They can charge up their super fast through the use of Rising Storm and Electrostatic Mind, and with the help of a Nightstalker’s Shadowshot to keep enemies incapacitated, they are capable of clearing out anything that stands in their way. For example, Stormcallers can quickly clear the Aura areas during the Warpriest and Deathsinger parts of King’s Fall.
Stormcallers though are terrible defensively, and lack utility beyond dealing damage compared at least to other subclasses ranked higher on this list. Almost every ability the Stormcaller has is centered around enhancing and building up to a Stormtrance. Great for when it’s viable, but Stormcallers suffer when there isn’t a clear way to pull off a Stormtrance without getting themselves killed. However when the time is right, there may not be a more powerful class in all of Destiny: TTK in Year Two.
Stormcaller gets the slight edge over Voidwalker on this list as it has more room for error and can more reliably clear out enemies than the Nova Bomb, just be careful not to die.
