During yesterday's special live stream for Destiny: The Taken King expansion, Bungie not only talked about the Shield Brothers strike but it also shared the skill and perk trees for the brand new subclasses coming with the add-on, in the form of Nightstalker, Sunbreaker, and Stormcaller.

Destiny: The Taken King promises to be the largest expansion yet for the multiplayer first-person shooter, and ahead of its debut next month, developer Bungie has started sharing more and more details about the major add-on.

The studio has already organized two special live stream presentations that went through some of the most important aspects of the DLC.

The new sub-classes bring interesting perks to players

During yesterday's stream, the studio kicked off with the Shield Brothers Strike and continued with the full perk trees for the new sub-classes that will join Destiny when The Taken King debuts next month. In case you missed it, fans on Reddit have rounded up all the details and descriptions.

Players with Titan characters can go into a new sub-class called Sunbreaker, which is equipped with an array of interesting perks, including some that were already known, like the Hammer of Sol Super move, but also bonus explosion and solar damage to foes when activating certain combos.

Hunters can go into the Nightstalker sub-class, which uses the Shadowshot Super move to tether foes to a void anchor for easier destruction, and also comes with more support-oriented abilities.

Last but not least, those with Warlock characters can choose the Stormcaller sub-class to unleash the Stormtrance Super that allows you to chain arc lightning from your hands.

You can check out the full lists of perks below, complete with their descriptions. You can also expect Bungie to portray the new sub-classes in new videos as we get closer to the launch of The Taken King.

The new DLC debuts on September 15 across PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 platforms, worldwide.
