read all your replies to another comment. your only argument is that since the majority of the playerbase hasn't figured out about this broken set up that it isn't a broken set up. brilliant logic bud. clearly you should be making the decisions on weapon balance lmfao.

With it being all over YouTube….EVERYONE knows about it. The answer is, it’s a niche build and it’s not viable for endgame PvP. It’s that simple. I wouldn’t assume you’d realize that considering you started a brand new account in season 21 thinking you’d be better, realized you still sucked, and then found yourself a “certain input device” to help yourself jump in KD. lol get outa here scrub.

i actually started playing this game in season 21 after not playing it since it was first released. i still have the shaders and what not to prove that. im sure if you stat track hard enough you will find my stats from back then. what i did play was apex. i have multiple pred badges in apex which i have been top 100 in world in for weeks at a time. i was too busy playing a game that actually takes skill while you have been on this pve game pretending to be good at fps games. i actually quit apex because i got sick of how much 3rd input devices are on apex because it has gotten really bad and that's why i came back to destiny 2. in that sense i understand your suspicion entirely. i probably hate 3rd input devices more than you do considering they killed probably my favorite shooter of all time. the truth is i didn't have good weapons until the end of season 23 in destiny and i was still figuring out which build i wanted to run as a blink main. i remember my first solo flawless back then i did with a phylotactic spiral lmfao. pretty sure i didn't get my hands on a messenger god roll until the last month of season 23 or so. though by the looks of your stats and the clan you are in im sure you're using your whole arm to cheat in a pve game buddy. everyone i have talked to about harsh refraction knows it's cheese. you not understanding this despite your stats just hints at you either abusing it yourself or are a 3rd input device player who has artificially high stats relative to actual game knowledge. bungie for some reason or another has made nerfs based on forum posts i have made over this expansion. whether or not they're thinking the same way i am or reading forums, i am very positive a harsh refraction disabling will come soon.

It's a Trace Rifle that gets a ~50% damage buff every time you use your Class Ability, and the timer extends just for dealing damage to a new target. One activation can get it going for up to 40 seconds. The TTK is under half a second up to 35m and doesn't require any kills to set up. Dodge has the shortest cooldown of the Class Abilities, so Hunters can have this active the most, on top of the other benefits they get from Dodging. If there's any Trace Rifle worth whining about, it's this.

I ran into one trace rifle user all weekend during trials. It’s literally not a problem.

The classic "It hasn't happened to me so its not an issue" mentality.

It’s not an issue because it isn’t used. Plain and simple. If this was so broken and busted, it would have at least made it into the top 10 You are complaining about a gun that has a TOTAL USAGE this week in trials of 0.08% Do you realize how pathetic you sound right now…

Behmoth had a sub 0.5 usage rate in trials and was secretly the single best build in the game... Low usage rate doesn't mean something isn't broken.

Idk if I’d give behemoth the best build for PvP on titans. More of a playstyle thing I think. But trace rifles require a lot to go into. Not every bot can slap it on and be good. Gotta get off YouTube and realize what’s actually putting in work.

What do you mean get off youtube, i dont watch destiny youtube. Ive been playing in the same ascendent 0 lobbies as that other guy. I can promise you, it is broken. It kills fast enough that you cant even react to it. As annoying as redrix is to play against, a slice trace rifle with the artifact perk is infinitely worse. No one wants the trace rifle nerfed, they want the artifact perk to be disabled. Behemoth isn't the best anymore, but even the best players I know could barely win against the triple behemoth stacks. Infinite overshields, infinite cover, and 100% uptime in damage resist was without a doubt the best build in the game. The only reason why it got on bungies radar is because they released collective action on the taken 120. Which just gave them passive 2 taps on top of all the other bonuses I mentioned.

Bungie has stated they don't want free damage for little payoff. Which is why the nerfed sword logic in pvp. A trace rifle is getting ~50% increased damage, for using your class ability, while also decreasing the damage your opponent deals. Do you realize how pitiful you look, lashing out like a beat child at anyone who disagrees with you? I never said it was an issue.

The only issue is you got spanked by someone. You don’t like it so you decided to come to the forums and whine about something that’s literally not even used by a single percent of players in this game. Literally less than one percent of players used it. Go back to whatever rock you crawled out from under.

Lol, still lashing out? Again i never complained about it. I gave a reason of why i could see bungie disabling the artifact mod in pvp. Similar to how they disabled the increased bolt charge damage mod? I understand reading may be difficult for you at this age, but you can do it. I believe in you, even if every one else has given up on you.

Says the guy showing up here in support of something absolutely useless and non-beneficial for the game. It’s not lashing out, I’ve flat you discredited everything you support. The only one lashing out is you since you started with the personal attacks. It’s pathetic.

Lmao my original comment wasn't in support for either side. You haven't discredit anything i said. You're still lashing out, throwing tantrums as anybody who disagrees with you. Immediately resorting to insulting anyone who's opinion differs from yours. If so pitiful its honestly hilarious at this point.

I haven't run into any cheaters since the Trials rework this episode, does that mean they aren't a problem either?
