Needlestorm - let’s talk about it.

There’s not a word in the OED that can adequately describe how supremely hopeless and left behind this Super has become, especially in PvP - Tragic, perhaps? What with all that’s going on (and not going on) in the game there’s probably little hope of Needlestorm seeing attention anytime soon. In PvP the hit reg up close is non-existent. You’re like a turkey when taking height with it activated, just ready to be shot down with no DR at all. PvE - not good. Very underpowered for a one and done Super. Astonished that in the rounds of balances and patches and mid season adjustments this has escaped the Devs. 🦃

  • It does NOT need a PvP buff. It’s not supposed to be used at close range. Especially when anyone who has ever fired it off can tell you that the projectiles don’t work in a way that it would hit something right infront of you. It is a mid to long range super. Maybe stop panic supering and it wouldn’t be an issue for you.

  • I think they nerfed something about it awhile back. I know there was a crazy build where you could have needlestorm, the perched and thrown threadlings come out same time and it could melt.

    • Needle storm needs nova level damage & it would be fine.

      • [quote] PvE - not good. Very underpowered for a one and done Super. [/quote] It’s the highest base damage instant super. In what way is that underpowered?

        • This is the new developer way of making power fantasy without having to give it actual power. Things now look big. Things sound big. Those same things actually don’t do much of anything. Remember it isn’t what something does it is how does it make the player feel. That is a major part of their plans to avoid power creep. I am sure it will likely work because it involves lies and we all know that is effective.

        • I wouldn't even mind the sucky tracking if the Threadlings didn't hit like a thrown Tribble. Bungie should introduce a unique perk to Needlestorm that allows it to dramatically increase Threadling damage.

              • They should have the needles spawn hives on impact that continously spawn threadlings
