Warlock – Stormcaller
The Warlock’s new powers revolve around harnessing the power of lightning. Among the new attacks available to you include the Storm Grenade, which is described as being like a storm in your pocket. Once deployed, it causes a AoE storm in the immediate area it lands. In addition, Stormcaller also increases your speed when utilizing Stormtrance.
Elsewhere, Warlocks can call on the power of lightning to aid them and use the Landfall modifier, which allows them to float in mid-air and unleash devastating lightning bolts. Finally, you can also use the new Chain Lightning and Pulsewave Artifact, the latter of which gives you a speed boost.
Titan – Sunbreaker
As previously reported, Titans will gain access to a Thor-like Sunbreaker Hammer. When used in conjunction with the Sunspot, you will gain the ability to rain down fire upon enemies, making it especially useful for PvP.
Hunter – Nightstalker
For the first time, the Hunter class will have access to a support role. Nightstalker allows gamers to trap their enemies in one place, and they’ll also be able to lob Spike grenades at foes as well as a new Smoke bomb. In addition, Hunters can wield a bow and arrow via the Shadowshot ability.
