Why a Resonance Darkness Subclass Probably Isn't Coming

-

There’s been a lot of hype around the idea of a new Darkness subclass called Resonance possibly coming in the Apollo expansion. I wanted to share why I think that’s unlikely. For one, we already have “resonance” weapons like Finality’s Augur that do Solar damage, so Bungie would have to change the damage types retroactively, which could upset many players. Also, several boss attacks labeled as resonance actually deal Solar damage (Rhulk, the Witness, Calus, etc.), so that would require a ton of changes. There’s been no official hint at the final subclass being resonance, though there have been teases about Nightmare powers, which seems much cooler and avoids these issues. Plus, resonance is said to be “pure darkness,” and similar to how channeling pure light nearly kills us (like with the Ghost), pure darkness might be lethal too. As much as I want another Darkness subclass, I really don’t think it’ll be Resonance or that it’ll come in Apollo—but I could be proven wrong!

Honestly, if a new subclass drops it’ll probably be something totally unexpected. Stasis and Strand were fresh creations when introduced, so I don’t think we’ll get any subclass like Resonance, Taken, or Nightmare that’s already been hinted at or named. Expect something brand new and surprising!

Yeah, even if there are some subtle hints, Bungie has been making entirely new concepts for each subclass launch so far, so Resonance as we know it just doesn’t fit the pattern.
