Bringing back the old taken king exotic class items as randomly rolled exotics that can be paired with other exotics. Are some of these effects broken, probably, but I don't develop the game, so I wouldn't know. Also, the column two effect will always work, even if you don't have the other exotic that the class item is lifebound too. Good luck with grinding out and getting all 16 combos of each!
Titan Exotic Class Item - Sunforged Soul (Mark of the Sunforged)
Column 1 - Lifebound to [Loreley Splendor Helm | Ashen Wake | Sunfire Furnace | Phoenix Cradle]: This exotic can be equipped at the same time as [Loreley Splendor Helm | Ashen Wake | Sunfire Furnace | Phoenix Cradle].
Column 2 - Sun God’s [Might | Grace | Dawn | Spine]:
Might: Roaring flames maximum stacks are increased to 4.
Grace: Restoration from your Sunspots are improved.
Dawn: Your scorch effects deal improved damage and generate melee energy when damaging a target.
Spine: Solar ability damage grants grenade energy.
(Might allows roaring flames to go to 4 {obv}, gaining 90% {pvp: 50%} increased ability damage at that level. Grace makes ALL sunspots give resto x2, including for your allies with phoenix cradle interaction, and welcome back og Loreley. Dawn is dawn chorus, 200% {50%} increased scorch damage and 5% melee energy per tick. Spine is YAS, though a bit of a lesser one cause throwing hammer, so only 12.5% per damage instance)
Warlock Exotic Class Item - Stormbearer’s Catalyst (Stormcaller Bond)
Column 1 - Lifebound to [Crown of Tempest | Getaway Artist | Stormdancer’s Brace | Geomag Stabilizers]: This exotic can be equipped at the same time as [Crown of Tempest | Getaway Artist | Stormdancer’s Brace | Geomag Stabilizers].
Immortal: Collecting an Ionic Trace restores health and starts health recovery.
Cataclysmic: Using an arc grenade briefly increases its recharge rate. While the buff is active, arc final blows extend the duration and grant Bolt Charge.
Insurmountable: Kills with arc melees restore melee energy.
Blight: [Super]: Cancel your arc super early, temporarily increasing Arc weapon damage and creating a blinding burst.
(Immortal gives 25 health on trace pick up and kick starts health regen. Cataclysmic acts like weavers trace from mindspun invocation. Using arc nade {including eating it with getaway} grants a Cataclysmic Storm buff for 6 secs, increasing grenade regen by 150%. Arc kills while the buff is active grants bolt charge and extends it by 4 seconds, up to 20. If you throw another grenade, buff will stack to x2|x3, granting 225%|333% increased grenade regen. Insurmountable is just like the titan Exotic, full melee energy on arc melee kill {bout to go WILD on prismatic}. Blight is blight ranger, cancel either arc super now, and doing it with either will create blinding explosions and tier 4 arc weapon damage increase.)
Hunter Exotic Class Item - Shaded Shroud (Nightstalker Cloak)
Column 1 - Lifebound to [Graviton Forfeit | Khepri’s Sting | Omnioculus | Orpheus Rig]: This exotic can be equipped at the same time as [Graviton Forfeit | Khepri’s Sting | Omnioculus | Orpheus Rig].
Hunt: On the Prowl marks up to two additional targets or one additional guardian. Smoke Bombs radius is increased.
Veil: Activating your void super grants you and nearby allies an overshield and invisibility.
Sin: Void-damage kills increase ability energy recharge rate.
Silence: While you have a Void super equipped, rapid final blows and final blows while critically wounded grant Devour.
(Hunt allows on the prowl to mark 3 total pve combatants or 2 guardians. Veil makes any void super cast grant full overshield and invisibility to you and allies within 15m. Sin is the nezy sin just on hunter, void kills grant 2.5 sec of buff, up to 20 secs. Slightly reduced ability regen thou, 200% grenade and melee, 125% class ability and super. Silence is the secondary effect of quiet one, with an easy access to devour.)
His leg muscles pumped, propelling him forward, kicking up sand.
Halsin was just within reach of her when he stumbled to a halt, wide-eyed.
His fears were realized — the trance had overtaken her, completely.
Tempest hovered in the air above him, stiffly.
Her silver-white hair flowed softly as if suspended in time. Ever so slowly, her body turned in the charged air.
He could see her eyes, upturned, glowing brightly. She was gasping for breath, chest heaving, her toned stomach flexing.
The color of her lips — a deep shade of purple — told him how close she was to hypothermia. Her clothes, a flimsy top and shorts, offered no protection.
Halsin had to squint against the sharpness of the lightning scars that cycled and changed color like the beat of a pulse.
Above, he sensed — more than saw — a roiling vortex of energy spinning out of control. A beacon to any malevolent force seeking to exploit her vacant state.
He had seen her like this only a few times before; an otherwise fearless fighter with a radiant, full-bodied presence, now ripped open, vulnerable, exposed, and in unimaginable agony. He wanted to shield her, protect her, pull her into his arms, and hold her tightly.
The rumbling thunder grounded him. And just as he had theorized, she was drawing the lightning, which speared the water’s surface and scattered erratically across the sky. Stones of varying sizes, smoothed by the currents, hovered in the air around them.
Then he felt it — the clash of hot and cold air as the torrential downpour approached from behind, soaking them in seconds. Halsin had to act fast; any longer exposed like this, and her condition would become critical. Risking a collapse — or worse.
Just as he reached for her, climbing the top of the boulder, sudden gusts of wind whipped up sand and rippled the water’s surface, like a cauldron about to boil over. Something was there...
Halsin froze mid-motion, registering the immense presence keeping him from her. His hackles rose in response.
It's time to make Ikora PROUD! Let's claim that statue in the courtyard! Let's WIN these Guardian Games!!!
Dawnblades, get those swords fired up. Voidwalkers, show 'em there's no escape. Stormcallers, let's see that "hurricane without."
And while we're at it, throw some Stasis and Strand at 'em, too!
Let's CRUSH the Titans and Hunters!!! Here, I've printed out Ikora Rey's Crucible stats for everyone- if anyone tries to tell you Warlocks can't fight, feel free to shove them in their faces.
guys I'm listening to thunder and I'm so glad I'm alive it's like....the whole sky is rumbling....and I want to know the sound so intimately that I'll stay alive till the next storm. Then the one after. The storms will call me, until one day I can yell to the sky, and it will answer me.
That is the day that I won't mind dying. But for now I will listen.
