Because 80% of trials carries that are hosted by the top 1% of trials players where done on a sunnsinger warlock. Hunter usage among top players is more over all game modes but the actual games in which players where single or double carried where done by sunsinger warlocks. 100% of which used viking funeral.
A Nerf was needed BUT!
The 15% damage increase via other sources from the new viking funeral is pathetic. I believe it should be the same as melting point, or at least 30%.

Where did you find that stat about trials carries? I have followed Destinytracker but did not see this there.

A reddit post of popular twitch streamers and top 100 trials players, information was pulled from destiny tracker i believe but it could also be guardian GG. Competitively hunters at the time where preferable but killing a whole team of lower ELO was more efficient with a warlock when doing carries apparently.

If sunsingers are support / zone control, to increase damage from other sources does help that much, especially if you are the last standing to defend a zone once you would use fireborn to get a second chance to avoid people to capture an objective, so you would not use the super before everybody else (including you) is dead... before nobody could enter a room passing through the solar grenade radius, now you go back and forth and take only 4 damage to go and 4 on the way back. Titans with overshield stand in the middle of the grenade to deactivate a relic!

I was simply stating the reason they nerfed it and then providing my input. Mind you, since bungie has become so crazy heavy on SBMM i've literally only been playing the best players in the world. I can assure you that almost all the warlocks i face now use void walker because it is better at zoning and overall more potent than the nuder-ed sunsinger. Oh by the way control is fun, i love sitting in my lawn chair slamming people like a truck.

I was agreeing with you. the new perk is stupid

I thought you where disagreeing on my proposition on buffing the new perk. My bad. Maybe i over explained myself when it wasn't necessary.
