The second warlock grenade is not dependent on the super. It's in a tree if it's own, where the options are stopping. Midair while flying, dual grenades at all time(except waiting on cool down time for both grenades) (which can be fixed by using melee cool down grenade) and the first one which I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm not debating your op just huge statement above saying your 2nd grenade is super dependent, cuz it is not.

You cannot compare one armour perk with a slightly different class perk and call that balance. These are two totally different things. Your argument seems to be that warlocks are overpowered therefore other classes need better armour. That misses the point. The classes are well balanced. If the classes were not balanced, gear would not be the way to address that. And I am referring to specific anomalies in balance affecting certain items. Clearly, this is a case of some tweaks being needed to improve armour balance, and clearly not a case of Bungie trying to use gear as a way to balance classes as you suggest.

I know. But you said in the post in replying too, that the 2nd grenade is super based/dependent. And I'm informing you it is not. Edit: and I never said warlocks are overpowered either, nor am I supporting that notion.

Ok, you mean the Gift of the Sun perk. For so many reasons, this subclass perk is not comparable to the armour perk in question. But the main point is, the classes are balanced while the gear is not. Locks also lack exotic boots. The list goes on.
