I wonder what honestly defines an individual as being a certain class. And if it were possible to have mixtures. Like someone using gunslinger but also nova bomb. And if we could even cross elements. Like someone being a solar sentinel. Or a void strider.

  • [quote][b]Lightbearers were around for hundreds of years before Classes were created.[/b] Classes are just a way of organizing Guardians based on their beliefs, goals, and way of thinking. They were only created during the beginning of the City Age. A Lightbearer can do what they want and use the Light in whatever way they want. When they join the Guardians of the Last City, they are filtered into the Class system to create organization and group likeminded individuals. Those who want to focus on protecting humanity become Titans, those who want to focus on the pursuit of knowledge become Warlocks, and those that want to scout and adventure become Hunters. Keep in mind that Kabr was a Titan but was a scholar of the Vex as great as Osiris, and Pahanin was a Hunter but was known for his wisdom, and Ikora left the City and spent many years alone wandering the wilderness. The Class system functions primarily as a game mechanic to separate playing styles, while in lore it’s used as a form of organization. But a Warlock could choose to use their Light to create knives instead of swords just like a Hunter does as a Bladedancer. A Titan or Hunter could launch a Nova Bomb, which is really just an op Light grenade. Many Supers are already incredibly similar and many Guardians use the same abilities (Blink, grenades, creating weapons with Light, etc.). Back before Classes were created, Guardians used the Light in whatever way came to them. So yes, a Guardian can change classes.[/quote]

  • Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the drifter can use any, he doesn’t define himself by class

  • I know he's not considered any class. But do we have any lore examples of him using light? Admittingly I haven't stayed up to date with lore.

  • Indeedy. But he also persists to do that 'ting, ting, ting' "thing", and therefore is a prize bellend. This negates any cross-class skills/powers he may or may not have- he needs to be propelled across an abyss by a wall phallace (dreadnought).
