Astrozyt-Vers – Warlock Helm
Teleportation – Reduces the cooldown of the short teleport and increases the distance traveled.
It is already my new “Achylophagen-Symbiont”, the item that will make me curse every time it appears on Friday with Xur, because it has a truly bizarre sequence of consonants as a name.
“Blink,” the short teleport, was weakened with 2.0 because it was deemed too strong in the Crucible. The “Blink-Shotgun” combo dealt devastating damage for months and is partly responsible for shotguns having such a weird reputation in the Crucible.
Especially the longer distance with the short teleport could prove to be really strong in the Crucible when experienced Warlocks use the helm to create maximum chaos. Similar to Nightcrawler from the X-Men.
Also in PvE, the helm could see usage depending on how the individual encounters are designed. If Destiny really heads more toward “classic MMO boss fights”, as announced, then a quick teleport might compensate for some movement errors.
The age-old tip: “Don’t stand in the plasma fire” could become a motto in Year 2 raids. That’s not known at the moment.
