Bungie was worried about this happening. Remember when SS was OP? Bungie got major static when they explained they couldn't nerf it without wrecking it. But non-SS players threw a hissy, so they nerfed it, and were proven right. Believe it or not, Bungie sometimes knows what they're talking about.

SS is fine the debuff mechanic is stronger in PVE but that 5% can make the difference with a follow up Melee or a last ditch AR spray. Not to mention tossing 2 Solar Grenades onto a Sunbreaker and watching him cook is a lot of fun.

Well in theory Viking Funeral is good for shotgun battles. You could even combine it with Up Close And/Or Personal, but if you try firing [i]after[/i] you melee you'll lose a majority of your close quarter encounters. Two-pieceing is too effective to combat.

Yup Solar Flare to ignite and burn away then a quick Melee follow up works fantastically.
