Sunsinger and Angel of Light
I may be a small minority but i think angel of light is a perk with a lot of potential but often executed poorly. I like to use it with my fusion rifles w/ icarus to give myself an aerial advantage. Kind of gimicky but when done right it has a high percentage of success. My biggest critique to the perk is that it is held back by how it's activated. ADS before centering screen on a target is sluggish and disorienting by itself. Now try doing that mid air and it's plain frustrating. I think it would be nice a gesture and a fair adjustment to have angel of light activated like an evade (B, B or O, O) giving time to center the screen then ADS. I know i may be catering to the claw users and people with elite controllers but this perk is under used and could use tweaking one way or another.

I suggested Astrocyte Verse prolong Angel of light a split second longer instead of whatever it does now, but they changed it to get your radar back on blink I believe?

I definitely had a lot of fun getting over the top of a shotgunner and raining fusion bolts down upon them. It's more of my "time to mess around" set up, but it is quite satisfying. 👊

Angel of Light & Empyrean Bellicose are perfect for "Airborne" modifiers.

2 RepliesI think it should stay as is because its just strange thinking of having to double tap a button I don't need to fire a weapon. I will say it's awkward to line up a shot after jumping. Also doesn't angle of light negate airborne accuracy minuses?

It's especially effective against people chasing you around corners. I turned and jumped off the heavy bridge on the cauldron and my enemy was looking for me on the ground. I was not on the ground.... I do like that idea of activation you have. Double crouch. It's not easy following or readjusting a shot midair while ADS. You somewhat lose the advantage.

2 RepliesI just notice that Warlock and Titans have an perk or an exotic that let them remain airborne in the air for a few seconds. It just hit me just now lol but I do agree before I deleted my Warlock: I love using angel of light. It really confused the enemy, and if done properly... a Warlock can get of sticky situations with angel of light

6 RepliesSounds more difficult to me but I see where you going. Sometimes I don't want to hover when I ADS in the air but it's become natural, I think two clicks would make it feel bulky. I think adding allot more AA and/or Icarus and maybe a little more float time would make this perk amazing. I don't mean to make it a viable sniper perch or a broken move used with any ohk special. I use it allot with a sidearm but when I try it with my scout (tlaloc) it's extremely difficult to line up a shot and fire 4 or 5 shots before I start falling and at that point I can't finish off crap because my gun starts shooting all over the place. Can't tell you how many times I've missed the kill by one shot when I fired 5 times dead on but I was falling.
