Warlocks, Do Not Sleep on Wings of Sacred Dawn if You Don't Know What to Use in the Crucible

I'm a little late to the party, but the Wings of Sacred Dawn exotic chest surprised me. I've been getting destroyed by a bunch of players who were high in the air recently and not missing shots and thought, "what if I could do that?" So I saw this in my Vault and I never really used it before because I thought being suspended in the air would leave me wide open too much, but that large aerial effectiveness bonus was pretty appealing, so I decided to give them a try. I have never been so wrong to judge an exotic armor piece in my life. I've been thoroughly reminded by my recent games with it that players really, REALLY don't like looking up (I would know). I'm also not a fan of using snipers, but because everyone kept dunking on me with them and some jukes, I also decided to try a sniper with it. I've gotten multiple air-scope precision kills with it in one day because of this setup and it even helped me clutch up a close match where I bodied someone from the air across a decent distance (not really across the map but non-high-impact frame auto rifles usually have notable damage falloff from that range) and quickly tapped them down with The Summoner auto rifle from just as far, still in the air. It also has this nice slide in the air when you aim down sights with momentum going that I've definitely made use of. I respect this exotic now. You know what I don't respect? Promethium Spur. I only respect the users who try to use that exotic. It needs serious help. ...Yeah, I was seeing if I could make a build with that one. No.

  • Ive tried it, in trials it’s always fun to get the drop on the first round. You gotta take them off after one round though, once everyone realizes to start looking up, that small Damage resist is not going to be enough to save you.
