• A lot of Oryx's power comes/came from his son and lieutenants. If it weren't for killing Crota and the champions at the Court of Oryx we might never have beaten him. I imagine this is why he's so angry that we killed his son - it's not sentimentality, we literally made him weaker by doing it.

I think he is drawing his power from somewhere else. His doomsday attack in the raid is labeled as 'Doxology' if it kills you. I looked it up:

"A liturgical formula of praise to God."

So it seems when he is charging his attack, he is drawing that power from a God. A Taken God? A god of the Darkness? Who knows. But it's not his underlings :-)
