[b]Thank you for your votes and extra thank you for actually reading polls like this instead of voting and calling it a day.[/b] :-)
I love Destiny. I have loads of fun playing around testing each class and subclass. I enjoy being able to modify my subclass according to my play style. Whatever perks I feel I'm missing I can compensate with Exotic Armor pieces. The only thing is, I don't feel like there's enough customization. I can only wear one Exotic Armor piece, so I can only get that one special perk for my subclass. I thought about ways I could come up with that could expand my style of play. Sometimes I even run into another guardian that uses the same exact subclass build as me. These thoughts eventually evolved into an idea of expanding the exsisting subclass skill tree.
When I thought further into it, I decided it would be best to add onto the exsisting perk columns rather than creating a new column. These perks could be applied as a new row in the subclass skill tree, to increase the players options.
[b]I didn't want to overwhelm all of you with too many ability perks, so I cut down the worse ideas and stuck with the best. In each list I placed: one new Super perk, one new Melee perk, one Training perk, and two Ability/Misc. perks. I tried to keep it simple.[/b]
[i]I've made a thread like this before, but many of the players thought some of my perk ideas were way too game breaking. I went over my ideas and I plucked out some of the perks that over shadow the exsisting ones. I tried my best to keep these Ideas as balanced as I could, but I'm just one person on a keyboard. Please understand that I did not intend to make any subclass more over powered than the next. These are just concepts, balancing would be needed for each one of these perks to be placed in game.[/i]

[b]Did you find any perks you would be interested to see in game? Are there any abilities/perks you would like to add/replace onto the list? Which of these subclass folders is your favorite? Which subclass would be the most/least over powered? What did you like/ dislike? What could I improve on? Let me know in the comments below. [/b]
Thank You. :-)
[i]P.S. I kept in mind existing perks and exotic armor benefits when creating this list. Tell me any clever perk combos you thought of.[/i]
