1) Nightstalker
Speaking of buffing damage, there is little doubt that the Nightstalker subclass is one of the best, if not the best in the entire game. While Nightstalker itself doesn’t output the same type of damages as 90% of Destiny’s other sub-classes, the massive damage buff you get from Shadowshot makes it useful in almost every scenario. Not only are you able to output a ton of damage on the affected targets, but so is the rest of your team. With one ability alone you can maximize your team’s DPS capabilities beyond reason while suppressing both their movement speed and the foes around them.
This super only got better with the nerf as the effect instantly triggers on contact, making it even more viable for shutting supers down in PvP. Much like Bladedancer, you have the ability to go invisible, however, this doesn’t require you to crouch for an arbitrary amount of time. It also has the added effect of camouflaging anyone you throw it at or the people around you. Nightstalker has infinite utility and there is something to be said when the class is basically required by any raid group trying to finish in a timely manner.
That being said, there is no doubting the power of each of these sub-classes in the right hands. Though if we had to put our money on one that will be more valuable in the upcoming Rise of Iron expansion, it would have to be Nightstalker. After all, who doesn’t enjoy wielding a bow of pure cosmetic energy?
