Bungie's announced that many of our beloved Exotic weapons will be receiving tuning which will hopefully improve their performance. Just as it's clear that certain weapons need improvement, i.e; Nechrochasm, I'd say there are certain armor pieces that do, too. I'd like to suggest changes for these Exotics which would bring them up to par with other armor, while also being careful not to make them over-powered. This edition of Exotic Armor That Needs Tuning is dedicated to the Titan. [i]Feel free to skip through to get straight to the suggestions - it's a pretty long list[/i]. [b]PRE-TL;DR: Read the suggestions and vote for or against them to share your opinions.[/b] [b]An Insurmountable Skullfort[/b] [i]Improved Transfusion[/i]: Hits with Storm Fist regenerate your health. Kills with Storm Fist provide rapidly regenerating health for a short time. This thing is over-shadowed by The Ram in every regard. Right now, it only provides Transfusion, it doesn't improve upon it like its perk suggests. This change would make it a potent Melee Exotic. Storm Fist would regenerate health with each hit, and kills would triple your Recovery stat for fifteen seconds. You wouldn't be regenerating health while getting shot, you would instead regain it after a very short time. [b]No Backup Plans[/b] [i]Improved Disintegrate[/i]: Hits with Disintegrate activate Force Barrier. All abilities regenerate faster while Force Barrier is active. There's no reason Force Barrier shouldn't already activate on hit, especially considering Flame Shield does. This change would actually give incentive to play CQC-style. It wouldn't be over-powered, seeing as Flame Shield already does the same without an Exotic. The ability cooldown would be akin to Radiance, but to a lesser extent: a fifteen percent (15%) reduction in recharge time while Force Barrier is active. It also goes well with the motif of "No ammo, no problem," since you'll use your abilities more. [b]Armamentarium[/b] [i]Grenade Booster[/i]: Carry an additional grenade. Your second grenade has the same cooldown as your first. Now, Armamentarium by itself is fine, but that benefit is belittled when Sunsingers can have the same thing [i]without[/i] the need to equip an Exotic. As it stands now, the second grenade regenerates much slower than the first. Making the cooldown the same as the first solidifies the Armamentarium as a worthy Exotic, whereas right now it is merely the same as a Sunsinger's perk. [b]Mk.44 Stand Asides[/b] [i]Be Somewhere Else[/i]: Shoulder Charge begins sooner and lasts longer. Increased Agility while Shoulder Charge is active. These things add five seconds to Shoulder Charge. That is exactly the reason you see [i]no one[/i] using them - they're hardly Exotic. To remedy that, you'd just need to split those five seconds in two: Shoulder Charge begins two-and-a-half seconds (2.5) earlier and lasts two-and-a-half (2.5) longer. You would also gain +2 to Agility. The point is to make Titans agile, since they're rather slow and vulnerable while sprinting. The added speed would make the Mk.44s a top option for Crucible, but wouldn't make them game-breakingly unbalanced, either. [b]Glasshouse[/b] [i]Bathed In Light[/i]: Weapons and Blessing of Light are stronger and last longer. Glasshouse will never be worth your Exotic slot unless something is done about its terrible ability. Basically, this change would provide the same bonus as Illuminated while also adding five seconds to the duration of the Blessing and Weapons of Light buffs. The added strength would also stack with Illuminated - that would make Glasshouse a worthy Exotic. Also, [i]for the love of Kabr[/i], let it change color with shaders - actually, just let [i]all[/i] Exotics change color with shaders. [b]Peregrine Greaves[/b] [i]Peregrine Strike[/i]: All Striker abilities deal bonus damage when activated in the air, but regenerate slower while you are on the ground. Right now, Peregrine Greaves are terribly restricted. Shoulder Charge is already a one-hit kill in Crucible against most Guardians, and even with the added aerial damage, Shoulder Charge isn't a serious threat in end-game activities. It is also very risky to use Shoulder Charge in Raids where enemies are too numerous to tackle one-on-one. This one is tricky. I want it to be powerful in both PvE [i]and[/i] PvP, but I don't want it to be absurdly broken, either. By adding a twenty-five percent (25%) time penalty to all ability uses, Peregrine Greaves would force Strikers to be tactful with their grenade placement and melee uses. The damage bonus would be reduced to 1.5x, whereas before, it was something like 2x the Shoulder Charge power. This would make Lightning grenades, Shoulder Charge, and Storm Fist a one-hit kill in Crucible - the drawbacks are that it can be used 25% less, and [i]must[/i] be activated in the air to acquire the damage bonus. The damage bonus would also apply to Fist of Havoc. Well, these are my suggestions as to how Bungie can improve some seriously neglected Titan armor. If you agree or disagree with my input, feel free to respond - any and all feedback is welcome.
