This is an older post that I re-upped for exposure and sake of keeping the topic relevant, if not for this game, at least for Destiny 2. Maybe I should make this clear.... All majors used as examples in the post are LEVEL 40/41. Post: These are [b][i][u]PvE only[/u][/i][/b] changes, so PvP crowd, we're chillin. [spoiler]Mostly. Mostly PvE only.[/spoiler] Why no Sunbreaker? Never played it. If someone has ideas I'll partake. Why no Sunsinger or Defender? They seem ok. And we're off! Gunslinger [spoiler]Damage boost such that: 1 regular GG round can wipe 80% off a shielded major Captain. That's tearing through Arc shields, mind you. So leaving ~40% health left after a shot. In addition, GG rounds can do precision damage to any enemy/target that can take it (those damn Shanks), and does more precision damage (from 2x to 2.5x) The Ultimate Gun, in the hands of the common Gunslinger should be able to erase 3 shielded yellows with headshots no problem... And that's before perks or exotics... If it's big game you're after, try Celestial Nighthawk + Over the Horizon. Happy hunting. [/spoiler] Bladedancer [spoiler] Bladedancer should have decently increased foot-speed during Arc Blade, for crouching, walking, AND sprinting. Fleetfooted does stack. Arc Blade should have a damage increase such that: 1 slash can kill an unshielded major Knight. Supers are better than weapons, remember? Swords currently outperform Bladedancer, not that anyone is paying attention. Razor's Edge should be a better ranged attack, so it now can be fired into the air to take out airborne/elevated enemies. This, this is that "whole game" change I spoiled earlier. This increases its efficacy for obvious reasons. Bladedancers also could use more useful exotics. I propose a couple that engage with the super: One that allows Arc Blade to benefit from the Backstab perk if Vanish is used, and another that adds a radial blind/stun effect to Showstopper that has a range slightly further out (Showstopper range is 7m, blind would be 7.5-8m. Blind activates only once per super activation) [/spoiler] Striker [spoiler] FoH should have a damage increase such that: a shielded major Centurion would be disintegrated by a direct hit. Outside of a direct hit, those in the immediate vicinity would be leveled to 10-15% health. Any further than that, as long as they are in the range of FoH, would be taken down to 35-40% health. This is supposed to be a monster attack, a final gambit – you risk death for the chance to inflict death on so many others. The risk validates the destruction. This is all BEFORE perks, and again, based off a (solar) shielded major Centurion. On the technical/effects side, the range for sound has room to increase. This is a human nuke we're talking about here. If I'm at the hellmouth opening, and someone at their furthest from me in the hellmouth uses FoH, I should wet myself. [/spoiler] Voidwalker [spoiler] Nova Bomb should have a damage increase such that: an unshielded major Knight would be killed by a direct hit. Outside of a direct hit, those in the immediate vicinity are taken down to ~25% health. Further than that, but still in range, and they're taken down to ~50-60% health "Aww, but Fist of Havoc can kill stronger enemies! Arc Blade can do our job but faster!" Shut up, metaphoric whiner. FoH/Arc Blade have more risk, therefore they do more [b]upfront[/b] damage. However, your modifiers mitigate this very well. Remember Bloom? Annihilate? Angry Magic? Bloom adds explosions, Annihilate increases boom boom radii, and Angry Magic adds tracking. And I didn't forget the Super modifiers: [b]Vortex[/b] now lasts for 4 seconds and has black hole-like effects (stressing the PvE only here). This means that enemies who come within a meter of the field will be pulled towards the center, while taking damage upon entry. The closer they get to the center, the slower they move. Larger, faster, and/or healthier enemies will have an easier time of escaping. Red health Dregs and Thralls will hilariously be ragdolled towards the middle if they get close. Pair with Bloom, a lawn chair, and sunglasses. [b]Shatter[/b] splits Nova Bomb into 3 bombs, but each now does .5x damage of the original bomb, meaning that you are inflicting 150% damage over a wider area. Wild. Angry Magic makes it wilder! [b]Lance[/b] now respects space physics as much and it does space magic. Confused? Remember, Force = Mass * Acceleration. This means that if Nova bomb moves faster, it hits harder. 1.75x harder, in fact. The radius of explosion is shrunk 20% though, so don't miss. Alternatively, Annihilate will get you some of that radius back, so you can miss 10% more if you [i]really[/i] want to. A couple exotics could use a boost/game-wide change too: Voidfang Vestments: Axion Bolts seek faster as well. Doesn't do much for the super, this exotic just sucks. Skull of Dire Ahamkara: Now just gives you The Hunger (10s Energy Drain, as opposed to old non-The Hunger 8s). Also, grenade kills earn extra super energy. Nova Bomb user damage reduction is removed. [/spoiler] Stormcaller [spoiler] Roll back Transcendence nerf. Buff Stormtrance damage maybe 4-7%. That's about it! [/spoiler] On top of these, orbs of light should no longer de-spawn after you come back to life. That is to say, if my mate makes 6 orbs, and then I die, those orbs better be there when I'm revived. These are just ideas for straight buffs. If balancing need come in the form of longer charge time/less efficient orbs for these subclasses, that 100% is okay – I recommend it, really. I don't really have an issue if some supers charge faster than others as per their damage capacity either.
