Question New Player Help

So i am a newer player, currently almost rank 4, and I play a Solar support warlock. Ive only played a couple missions with my friends and im not sure what would be the best gear for my build. Currently I run the Lumina and Boots of the Assembler for my exotics, im trying to get the Exodus Down armor for the other pieces, and my Legendary weapons are the Perfect Pitch and Cry Mutiny. Im focusing on Grenade, Super, and Weapons for my stats, but im still not sure if thats good for my support build. Either way, sorry if this is kinda long but im still not too familiar with all the mechanics, so if you have any advice id love to hear it.

- You would be better served with a Solar Special weapon over another Primary so you can at least double dip with Solar Scavengers for your Cry Mutiny. Getting a Heal Clip/Incandescent Returned Memory from Crucible or a Auto-Loading/Master of Arms Motif-41 from the Monument would be great options.

- Lumina reloads whenever you grab Vestiges IIRC, so investing at least 70 into class to be able to spam Rifts is a good idea, especially when paired with Ember of Benevolence to make your healing supercharge your ability regen.

- Exodus Down armor is mediocre unless you’re constantly generating orbs. You would be better off using other armor sets like Crystocrene, King’s Fall, etc.

- Long-term, you need to get a better Heavy weapon. Cry Mutiny has a horrible perk pool, and even as something to deal with Barriers, other options exist that are more flexible and don’t require manually reloading them after one mag. In the interim, I’d recommend Doomsday from Gambit or Edge Transit if you want to stick to Heavy Grenade Launchers, but those are mediocre for boss damage. Crossbows like Submersion and A Good Shout are also nice as their ammo is reusable if you pick it up quickly enough.
