Firebolts are not the Problem

People are complaining about viking funeral. Here's a quick fix: Viking funeral is fine, what they should look as is the initial damage the grenades or melee will do when the viking funeral perk is active, they should do less initial damaged except when radiance is active seeing as it is the super. It's freaking simple conditional programming. Now the initial hit of that firebolt will basically red-bar you and viking funeral just does what it's meant to do. If you reduce the initial damaged of the firebolts then there will no longer be a problem. Also make it like the axion bolt, the grenade's effects are less effective if the user dies. Same goes for incendiary grenades!

  • I don't think the damage of the grenade is the problem because if you turn off both Viking Funeral and Touch of flame (which is the legit perk to use), the grenade does damage almost equal to other grenades of that type (mainly comparing it to Arcbolt). It either knocks the shield out or (if it's iron banner or trials) it can leave you with some shield left. Viking funeral needs to be toned down a bit. As much as I want it out the game, Bungie won't remove. So if they can probably reduce the DoT a bit or reduce the ticks for it, I would be satisfied

  • I agree the initial damage would fix it but so would lessening the burn from biking funeral.

    • You say they're not a problem then you go and propose to change them. Down voted.

      • My feeling. The amount of damage that the grenade does is just a pinch too high but honestly I don't really mind. It is the time it takes to do that damage. Your opponent has almost 10 seconds to get any additional damage on you. If the burn of Viking funeral hit faster over say 3 ticks rather than 7 it would allow for faster retreat, regen and reengage. Ideally I would love to see its damage take you to one headshot on body shot MIDA range rather than one headshot or two body shot range as it is currently. Just my $0.02 overall I don't think it is broken but slightly more advantageous which is all it takes in an otherwise fairly balanced meta to make it a go to build.

      • It is like Axion Bolts. It does roughly half the damage if you die before it goes off.
