Forgive me if I am pointing the obvious here, however, what I keep noticing is that hunter mains are very upset by the recent nerfing of Renewal Grasps. I am upset by this too. As the first exotic armour piece for stasis hunter (my favourite class/subclass) is reduced to ash. Like many exotics before it. When checking socials, I noticed that a lot of the criticisms for the exotics gauntlets were from streamers and trial players that clearly don’t play hunter and resent hunters in pvp. Imo, a lot of the criticisms and hype surrounding these exotics were hypocritical, and not a very good representation of what they are actually like to use in most activities that they were being used in. Sure, [b]SOME[/b] were using these exotics crazily good, but [b]not everyone[/b] who used them were using them that insanely. Imo, a lot of users used the exotic causally throughout all content, not just in high end content. The nerfing of these exotics also increases the void 3.0. In PVP, void 3.0 dominates pvp for all classes. And this gauntlet were used by many as a counter to this problematic subclass meta. Bungie have now removed that counter, which will simply just increase the use of void 3.0 and therefore the subclass meta. Sure, that [b]may[/b] change with the next subclass upgrade. But regardless, hunter stasis has become a lot less useful to run in pvp, and in many other activities too. These gauntlets have been reduced to being niche. [u]A brand new exotic, the first for stasis hunter, now reduced to niche.[/u] Shameful. Imo, [b]Bungie listened to the wrong crowd when nerfing these exotics[/b]. They should have listened to the people that actively use them, as well as the crowd that -blam!- about them being “overpowered.” They weren’t. But whatever. People (especially streamers) exaggerated the power of this exotic so strongly that Bungie had no other choice, but to address them in a typically fashioned way: nerf them to the ground. Keeping a lot of loud voices and personalities happy. Obviously, some people were exploiting them in pvp. But not all. Imo, most users were not doing this. Most in fact, we’re just genuinely enjoying them, causally. Bungie nerfing this exotic to oblivion and keeping certain metas is [i]cringe[/i] and for a game people play daily and spend a lot of time and money on [b]should expect better solutions[/b]. Bungie can be creative with problems. They should be creative with solving the divide on the exotic gauntlets, Renewal Grasps. And I hope the conversation around this exotic doesn’t die down. R.I.P. Renewal Grasps Thanks for reading my little rant. :-)
