So i, like quiet a few hunters, am quiet irratated by the nerf to star eaters so i wanted to check some numbers. I dont have a youtube link however i can tell u i tested against kali in the last wish raid just to make everything even. I tested 2 supers bottom tree goldy w/nighthawk and standard top tree teather wo/exotics So a celestial nighthawk gg will do aprox 219k with rounding this is without any buffs or debuffs so its just raw damage. A star eaters without knock 'em down at 8 orbs will do 302k with rounding again no buffs or debuffs. This is aprox. 33% increase in damage. I didnt test with knock em down cause im forgetfull sorry. Now teather is a different story. On impact top tree tether does 5,420 damage with a palindrome hitting to the head for 4,422. With stareaters... Nothing changed 5,420 and 4,422 this was at max stacks too. With this in mind it make me believe that this exotic is worthless at top tree and should not be used what so ever. I will be testing total for mobious quiver but ill have to edit that in cause i didnt think about it till writing this Edit 1: i have tested bottom tree teather this is what i got. With bottom tree teather w/Origs 185k with rounding. Keep in mind rigs adds on 2 extra shot to bottom tree. Bottom tree w/star-eaters went up significantly. Up to 253k with rounding. This is with 2less shots than rigs making the damage output faster. After these tests i have come to the conclusion that the nerf kinda hit too hard 8 orbs can be annoying to come by for me even at atheon. I understand the weapon buff needing to be fixed but that has now made top tree completely useless with these boots. Thoughts on how to make it better? 6 orbs instead of 8 would have been preferred but with the stacks going up to 4 on screen (2 orbs is 1 stack of the buff) i understand numbers can be hard for bungie. Secondly top tree teather should have kept the weapon buff somehow even if it wasnt 60% i would have accepted 10-20%.
