Suggestion - Stoicism - Swap the effect of the "Spirit of the Abeyant" exotic perk.

Stoicism, the Titan Exotic Class Item, takes one of its possible exotic perks from the Lightfall exotic legs, Abeyant Leap. Abeyant Leap has two effects: - Improves Drengr's Lash, by adding two extra suspending wave projectiles, increasing the tracking on all suspend waves, and increasing the distance those waves travel. - Gain Woven Mail on suspending targets. (This works on all suspending effects, regardless of subclass) As Exotic class item perks do not use the entire effect of the original exotic, only one of these was chosen for Spirit of the Abeyant - that being "Improves Drengr's Lash". I would suggest that Spirit of the Abeyant's perk should instead be "Gain Woven Mail on suspending targets". This change would allow Spirit of the Abeyant to activate fragments like Facet of Hope using Drengr's Lash, as well as to get Woven Mail on Prismatic Titan whilst using a non-Strand super (for Facet of Purpose) like Twilight Arsenal or Hammer of Sol. It would also cause Shackle Grenade and Bladefury to feel more worthwhile on Prismatic Titan, as the Woven Mail is gained from any source of Suspend - mimicing the Berserker's use of Suspend to generate tangles, which in turn grant Woven Mail with Into the Fray. Wish-Keeper would also benefit from this change, being a ranged weapon capable of Suspending. I also believe it would better suit the identity of Abeyant Leap, and of the subclass Drengr's Lash originates from too. In Abeyant Leap's case, the Puppeteer's Control icon depicts chest armour, referencing Woven Mail's damage resistance, and that it only covers the body, not the head. This reference is lost with the Spirit, despite using the same icon - as it does not grant Woven Mail. As for Berserker, this subclass has a strong focus around Woven Mail, with the Into the Fray aspect being a core part of many builds. Spirit of the Abeyant granting Woven Mail would help to connect Drengr's Lash more to the feeling of playing the original subclass, as it would give Titans greater uptime on Woven Mail than the class-agnostic Facet of Purpose, and help them to "Be the front line", just as the Into the Fray aspect states. This change would also not invalidate the original exotic on Prismatic subclasses, as the improved Drengr's Lash [i]is[/i] a worthwhile part of Abeyant Leap, offering much more coverage of rooms and ease of use. I think this one change would vastly increase the buildcrafting potential and feeling of interconnection of Spirit of the Abeyant, and the rest of the Prismatic Titan kit. I hope this could be taken into consideration. Glossary: Facet of Hope - "While you have an elemental buff, your class ability regenerates more quickly." Facet of Purpose - "Picking up an Orb of Power grants either Amplified, Restoration, Frost Armor, Woven Mail, or Overshield based on the damage type of your equipped Super."

  • Bungie neutered alot of the exotics and putting them in as a class item. I'd personally like to see spirit of the hoarzfrost removed and replaced with peregrine greaves, second chance, or path of burning steps..
