The Final Shape introduced new Exotic Class Items and for the first time, they now have Exotics to fill the Class Item slots for their characters.
Obtaining these Exotic Items may be a little tougher than expected but the new mechanics for them give players new options for their builds.
Grabbing these may be challenging but once you have gotten them, you can later grind for more simply by doing Overthrows in the Pale Heart.
Exotic Class Items and Perks
Each Exotic Class Item comes with different perks, and these will come from two columns where one perk per column will be included with the gear.
The only catch is that these Class Item perks will only work while you have the Prismatic Subclass for your Guardian equipped.
This has made it necessary to focus on Prismatic Builds if you plan on getting the new Exotic Class Items but you can always stick to your old builds if you prefer.

Verdict
The new Exotic Class Items provide Prismatic Subclass users with several new options when it comes to their builds.
One of the best things is that you can grind them after doing the Dual Destiny Exotic Quest, making it easy for those who have gotten used to Overthrows.
Similar to other Exotic gear, you will only be able to equip one and this means that it may replace one of your Exotic Armor gear, but this is fine since new builds often rely on new perks.
