Balance
He smiles, laughs, considers the question, and replies, “Right now it’s Warlock and Scout Rifle. But I’m sure it’s going to change. The classes are going through so much evolution. But the warlock right now basically has the team buff and team res abilities, and so those are really fun and essential in team situations.”
I'm very curious how balance is going to work with this kind of thing. Given the focus on much smaller party sizes than a lot of traditional MMOs, having abilities that buff a group exclusively within a single class does sound like it might lead to unbalanced gameplay. Blizzard already went through this with WoW, and they've iterated on how party buffs work relentlessly. Class-exclusive buffs were one of the earliest casualties to the mantra bring the player, not the class. I hope Bungie have learned from their lessons, here.
