Let's make a deal, Bungie

Discussion

Over the past years I've watched as Titans and Hunters have been gifted with various armor that effects their movement. On the Hunter side the awesome Graviton Forefit which unlocks the shadestep node to the newly introduced Fr0st EE5 which are the better version of the radiant dance machines. For the Titans, there are several exotic boots that are fantastic with the new Dune Marchers rounding out the top. My two favorites are the Bones of Eao which enable the beautiful triple jump (a shot gunners dream) and Twilight Garrison, even post nerf.

This season the transversite steps were revealed for the warlock class. While I'll agree that the ammo perk can be amazing at specific times, it's movement perk leaves a lot to be desired. I find that, especially in PvP, the only thing that a faster crouched walk gets me is a quicker bullet in the head from a sniper. The warlocks were also gifted the Astrocyte Verse which adds, in all reality, nothing to the length of the warlocks blink. As we ramp up to Destiny 2 I'd really like it if the devs could work in some kind of warlock movement armor. Now, I know what the majority of you are thinking, "The hell a warlock needs a movement perk! They can already electro-snipe me from outside of Matador range!" On this point I am in full agreement. Warlocks have a distinct advantage, especially when playing the Stormcaller class, when it comes to ranged melees. Add in a set of the Claws of Amhkara and you can effectively run amok.

Here is what I propose: Nerf the distance of the electro melee to 80% of its current range. This will make the distance of the melee tolerable for most. This is part A of the deal. The second part is adding an exotic that actually works for evasion for the warlock class. The shadestep breaks my axion tracking, the garrison dodges a well placed nova bomb and then gets me a shot gun to the head. I don't have a single complaint about these things because the armor is exotic and it's SUPPOSED to do cool shit!

Lastly, I'm concerned that if Destiny 2 wipes my character and I start fresh I'll have never known if I could have had some awesome exotic movement armor for my warlock.
TL;DR- Trade stormcaller melee range for a true exotic movement perk for warlocks.
