Bungie is known for over "Balancing" things. This isn't a complaint so much as a question. I'm trying to figure out what they were thinking when they made changes.
Sunsinger is called many things. Support, Tank or even Crutch. I think Sunsinger was just VERY flexible and could become a completely different character with a few changes. Based on a neutral game a change of a perk and a piece of gear and your whole build is adapted to whatever it is you are doing.
People found a comfortable and overly used build and only spammed that. I get it, you wanted us to explore more and take away a perceived adavntage. But what did you replace it with and why?
Is the class still useable? Yes
Is it competitive in all modes? Yes
But the actions taken changed the class alot. Here are some of my beefs. First off the replacement wasn't equal to the loss.
Burn was more than a weapon it was a tool. We have no quick evade and close combat has lost a lot of ground to other classes.
Next is why you changed it. One mode in the game it shined in and without a lot of data or facts it seems you listened to people that will always complain. Everyone has heard a person in trials have a meltdown and blame others, why listen to them?
Then there is the changes itself. Bungie you have a habit of going over even what the players suggested. Many disliked bolts, burn was an after thought. When cornered many of these players didn't mind the damage just the ticks. Why not shorten them and increase damage? Or revamp bolts? No one complains about Solar grenades and they have the same burn.
Last is your lack of details in the game and your communication. You don't define things very well on the site. People don't see that this class was based on the delivery system. Everything from grenades, melee and even the super is based on a strategy to deliver the chosen perks. We argue over if the class is support or not. I am still confused on where you are leading the class........give us some details why don't you.
So as a player that only plays this character because it is fun and that is why I bought this game please help me out. Can we get a real balance? Can you fill in some gaps that you made when you adjusted the burn, melee, self res, and grenades. You made this class you know how much that changed things.
tl;dr
SUMMED UP VERSION:
Bungie changed a class based on perks by altering the perks. This left gaps in the class. It is still usable and still can compete but it is still very broken and lacking. I don't think this class has a real identity now it is just kinda floating. I would like Bungie to decide what this class is supposed to be and finish what they started.
This class has a lot of potential and I love playing it. It is sad to see how broken the changes made it and how little even the community thinks of it. Truly balance and identify it or turn it back ad the new RoI gear will counter old effects.
Any thoughts
*edit*
I added a 1:30 clip of rumble. I'm not a complete lame and I am working on my angel of light skills right now. Montage out soon but people like to call names so I thought I would add. I don't use bolts, burn, self res or overshield. People are pushing for diversity but the other builds are lacking.

1 AntwortenI 100% agree. Sunsinger is not a support class. A class revolving around grenades is naturally going to have good grenades. Were Burnbolts OP? I personally didnt think so. It was the only strength the class had and at the time Nightstalker still had its ridiculous Wombo Combo. They couldn't nerf onr without nerfing the other. When the Warlock Re-balancing that came with the April Update, they nerfed every thing else apart from the Sunsinger burn, which was good. That was the only strength it had. Then Bungie took that away also, without going back on their previous nerfs. Sunsinger is in such a weird spot right now. Yes, you can be successful with Sticky Grenades, but any class becomes better with Sticky Grenades. I could use Dual Fusion on a Sunbreaker and do the exact same thing with a better super as well. Sunsinger needs something done to it. Sidenote: I know you use Sunsinger alot, what build exactly do you use?
