A minor dip in the resistance on hammer of sol would fix it easily. This also works as an effective nerf of cauterize during super by requiring kills more often to offset the greater incoming damage, and also allow a one hit kill from GG and high impact snipers. The issue on the supper is improper balance of survivability and damage output. As is it's low risk mid to high reward. The risk would be shifted up to mid risk level for balance. I also agree that the old subs could use a buff. I'd say a slight buff of radiance effects, pvp damage buffs for striker, void walker, and blade dancer ( and or a buff to stagger ability). Slight buff to defender in pve. Not exactly sure where. Rework GG or better damage. I'd like to see GG function more like hammer of sol in the use meter. Maybe hard cap shots at 6 but each shot eats part of the meter with max duration of about the same time and tuned so average shots in pvp is still around 3. So basically the user could either stay stationary and unleash a huge burst of DPS or move around and be able to take out a few important targets. This would be a pve buff and relatively neutral change in pvp as you can't really activate GG while under fire and live for the full 6 shots unless the other team is just horrible. The only other potential pvp problem from this would be GG would be buffed vs bubbles and for objective defense in team games with greater than 3 players or 3 players with self Rez. But put waiting the super would still work just as well to counter this.

Edited by Terranaza: 10/22/2015 6:49:31 PMI realize that a small damage reduction nerf would fix HoS, but what I'm going for isn't necessarily what I hope Bungie will do but what I would do if I were the one balancing - and I personally think that all subclasses should be balanced around Stormcaller. Stormcaller makes you feel powerful when you use it - and I feel like that's what every subclass should feel like when you're playing it. I.E. When you Nova Bomb or Fist of Havoc, you should feel like "I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS." Instead of "OMG Shotgunner all up on me, gotta Bomb to survive!"
