Destiny: The Taken King – Sunbreaker Perk List (Updated)

The Taken King is here, which brings some new subclasses to the table for Destiny in Year Two.

The new subclass for Titans is called the Sunbreaker, which is appropriately named since it’s their Solar built tree.

There are some familiar perks here from the other solar classes, and some all new stuff that is really DPS oriented. This subclass has proven to be an absolute monster in PVP, so play around with it and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Now lets check out some of these perks for the Sunbreaker subclass.

What do you think about some of these new perks? I know if you ask on the forums, you’ll get a ton of people screaming “OP”, which may be somewhat true in PVP with their ungodly amount of hammers, and 50% damage reduction.
