My friends and I were thinking about why they would need all of these in PvE and we came up with an interesting idea. What if while testing The Taken King, they coasted through it using only black hammer and gally? Maybe that's why they decided to lower them because what if this dcl is just a bunch of bosses that sit still and are easy to crit hit. I love bungie, die hard Halo fan, but honestly that's where they should have stayed. They are a company who specialized in a game where they told you what to do and there was little you could do to change the path they set you on. Now they have a free roam RPG where the gamer can find different ways to complete the goal, a game where you have damage stats and they don't like the fact that the gamer is smarter than they believe. If there is an easier way to beat something we, as gamers will do it. Why would I do what they want me to do when I can do it with half the amount of time and effort. These patches are just bungie just proving they don't know what they are doing, but what does it matter I'm sure they undo it all in the one after this.
