Warlock: Dawnblade
Destiny 2: Forsaken New Subclass Supers
I’m sure there are hardcore Dawnblade fans that are going to hate me for saying this, but I feel that up until now, it’s been a whole lot of wasted potential. They stripped the Solar Warlock class of its self-revive, understandable considering how overpowered it was. However, they didn’t really give it anything to make up for it. Its super is fine, but there’s more room for error than other offensive-minded supers. The new path for Dawnblade is going to change everything about the subclass, and once again, make it the premiere support option for Warlocks.
Now, instead of flying up high with the sword, and raining down fire, you’ll plant the sword, clearing out nearby enemies, and create an aura that heals allies and increases their damage. Also, instead of throwing a grenade, you now have the option to throw a healing grenade, that well, yeah heals teammates and also gives them an overshield to boot.
Destiny has never had a real “healer” class. There have been subclasses that fit that role better than others, but this is the first time that a subclass is going to have all the tools it needs to be a true healer in the traditional sense. By design, the new Dawnblade path should be hanging back, keeping an eye on their teammates and coming to their aid when they are in trouble.

We still have a few months to go before Destiny 2: Forsaken is released, and we can properly evaluate how these new paths fit into the existing meta, seeing them in action have us excited about the possibilities. What are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below.
