Sword nerf not the answer
Sword nerf not the answer. Now all heavies are worse than the best specials. They’re all useless. I’m sick of bungie.

This is what I will never understand They wanted to make swords great again, and they did and now they want to nerf them. We’ve been saying for ever that rockets were in a terrible place, why not buff rockets to make them viable and leave swords alone. Depending on the activity would typically depend what type of heavy I wanted to use. Right now the list is super small, lament, xeno, anarchy, whisper and thunderlord. Notice how there aren’t any rockets in my list , even eot didn’t make it because it has a boss damage decrease, which is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. Balance heavy weapons so people have tons of options and they will use them. The problem is when other heavy options suck for dps we will gravitate towards what works best for dps. Swords IMO aren’t much of a risk at all, most boss stomps don’t kill you, I run up and sword servitors right on the projections at atraks , and when they stomp i sword to slow myself down and get away.

3 RepliesNerfing is never the answer. We could actually define this game as power (or fun) fomo. Whatever is “new” (subclasses, weapons, exotics), is always OP (or fun), so that active “friends” tell their inactive “friends”: oh man this “insert toy” is super fun. Soon after, the toy is nerfed to the ground for whatever convenient excuse that gullible souls swallow like cows eat grass. And the wheel turns. The last slap in the face of “active friends” on record is: oh man BL is free now on PSN.

Silly rabbit! Trix are for kids! They’re manipulating the meta because some kind of ridiculous rocket launcher is coming soon AND BUNGIE WANTS TO SELL SOME SKINS! Prove me wrong!

Edited by Atreuss: 2/10/2021 12:05:55 PMFunny thing is the relic. Focus on sword based mods after they are nerfed. Like wtf bungie? Just why?
-
Nerfing swords is not the answer if bungie wants us to use different weapons maybe make different enemies or better yet give big enemies a different attack besides stomping on the ground. How about a grab move or something.
-
Bungie pushed players to use them once upon a time, note they want to punish the players for using them. If this isn't a game of tyranny I don't know what is...

1 ReplyYou must be new. Anything that is fun in the game gets nerfed Anything that is making the game easy gets nerfed Anything that gets used a lot over others gets nerfed Swords are great, and will probably continue to be great after the nerf, but the nerf was inevitable. I’m honestly expecting lament to get an individual nerf on top of the universal sword nerf tbh
-
9 RepliesI mean swords were rediculus and a nerf was incomming and if you didn't see that i'd be concerned about other aspects of your life, rockets at getting a buff, not all heavies however need to be massive damage weapons, p.s shush
-
1 Reply15% isn’t that bad. And I’ve loved swords since the beginning of D2. A first person shooter whose solution to every encounter is a sword was not the intent.
-
1 ReplyWith ya boss, don’t get the people trying to justify this. We use swords because every other legendary heavy is underwhelming. Buff the other weapons some first to attempt a balance then adjust swords if need be. At this point, all things considered, hoping light fall is the end, wrap this story up and we move on. Have too much time invested currently to completely quit but it will be nice when the day comes
-
1 ReplyOr you can use a different heavy for a boss DPS, or, you know, still use a sword because the 15% Nerf is easily negated by lucent blade? I swear you guys whine way too damn much. Boohoo either keep using it for that encounters as used for, or use other heavies, like a rocket launcher that is finally viable with Godslayer rounds.
-
1 ReplyAll heavies worse than special? Mate the three strongest weapons for practically every situation are heavies, anarchy, xeno and if u know what ur doing acrius(obviously can argue 1k) But I will say lament isn’t nearly as spicy as it was literally this morning
-
2 RepliesHonestly, the damage output was absurd anyways. But I use swords only for fodder as I’ve found them to be the least efficient weapons for me to use for DPS but that’s just my particular play style. Melting something slightly slower isn’t really worth complaining about. Less useful doesn’t mean useless as a lot of people here tend to believe.
-
2 RepliesSwords are still viable and powerful...they just aren't the ONLY option now.
-
2 RepliesAfter the nerf swords will still be able to do over 200% more damage than needed to most enemies in the game within one second. Kill most bosses and used against Riven/Champions. Yes, I have seen the DPS videos before and after. Most videos didn't take into account Lucent blade or boss/major spec mods. So apply 25% or whatever damage boost to whatever the base numbers were in the videos.
-
Next step following the sword nerf- Bungie will increase the stomp mechanic on existing bosses and introduce it to all adds.
-
Nerf the swords! Swords need a nerf and snipers need a buff
-
I'm on board with this Nerf swords have literally made everything else in pve Irrelevant, it's time to dust off the old weapons again👍
-
26 RepliesEverybody crutches on swords in PvE. Use something else for awhile.

Looks like somebody watched a YouTube video to formulate their own opinion.

1 ReplyThey had to nerf swords. They were being overused in trials!
-
I thought the reason sunsetting is taking place is to balance these weapons that are overpowered - so what are all these buffs and nerfs for? To make it obsolete before it’s even sunset? Bungie are completely clueless...
-
I thought with sunsetting, there would of been less nerfs, since the loot pool is so small. I know there will still be nerfs but as far as what bungie said, it translated to me as, we introduced 2 good swords and we see alot of players are using them so we gonna nerf them. The thing is everything is so crappy , if raid weapons and gear would of had specific perks I would say 2 unique perks should do it. 1 for raid specific and the other for enemies around the world like every 2 hive kills generate a random explosion element that does big AoE dmg, or just a simple do more hive dmg overall or any enemy. Everything is always half done with their changes. Oh well, I mean how long has it been that players complain about issues and nothing has been done. If it wasnt for the time and money I have invested I wouldn't be here still, but dont get me wrong the space magic shooter is def my cup of tea I think I'll always come back to play but I doubt I'll buy any more dlcs.

NO IT IS NOT

Yes it is.

1 ReplySunsetting exists so that Bungie doesn't have to nerf things. Oh wait…
