A huge list of nerfs, but ZERO BUFFS?

Seriously Bungie this is a little ridiculous. I do my absolute best to play devils advocate and remember that the game needs to be BALANCED or everything will be way too easy. The power fantasy becomes a bore when you melt everything in seconds. But this is STUPID! Whisper of the Worm in particular was fine, zero change needed. But now it has LESS ammo reserves than DARCI with LESS DPS potential and LESS DAMAGE OVERALL. Really? And the super regen Exotics? All being nerfed, well what about unused and vaulted Exotics? Eternal Warrior, Ashen Wake, ALL THE AEON ARMOR, Armamentarium, KHEPRIS HORN, Verity’s Brow, VESPER OF RADIUS, Winter’s Guile, GRAVITON FORFEIT, Sealed Ahamkhara Grasps, Frost-eez? Nothing but nerfs. Come ON Bungie, the game isn’t going to be happy about diversifying if you only nerf the good stuff into the ground so EVERYTHING sucks! Edit: how should these Exotics be buffed? Eternal Warrior should grant an overshield after rapidly defeating multiple enemies with melee. Ashen Wake should grant Grenade energy depending on enemies killed with grenade. Not just Fusion grenades either. Armamentarium needs to work with LMGs and reload more ammo more often, maybe the entire mag for LMGs. Khepris Horn needs a MASSIVE AOE flame effect when casting a Barricade, a WALL of flame that annihilates everything in the way. Veritys Brow needs to be entirely reworked, because it’s basically a reskinned Nezarecs sin, Vesper of Radius needs a buff similar to Khepris where the arc explosion has the Radius and almost the damage of Landfall. Winters Guile and Wormgod Caress need timers active as long as Combination Blow and need to restore some melee energy on melee kills. Graviton Forfeit needs to Grant D1 shadestep, no melee regen, no reloading, pure mobility with a 3 second cooldown. Frost eez need to grant energy slightly faster and the sprint after dodging should be NOTICEABLY faster. And Sealed Ahamkhara Grasps need to grant a second melee charge while granting melee energy from weapon kills.

  • As a hunter, i actually use sealed ahamkara grasps with blade barrage over shards. The throwing knife procs the reload and works for my play style. The. I'll use my dodge ability to also reload my main gun. Plus the burning from thrown knives procs constant reload. Its like my own personal lunas or rally barricade. Its all about fitting your playstyle into the game and using effective exotics and weapon loadouts. These "nerfs" for the most part are balancing out overused exotics. While I dont agree with all of them, some are a long overdue (looking at you skull of dire ahamkara). The only one I dont agree with is Orpheus Rigs. It's already been respeced in the past to make the user be more aware of landing the teather, and a miss pretty much screws you over. If Bungie wants to make the power fantasy about chaining supers off.of teammates, max the super regen exotics to half and ensure that all orbs of light dropped are large. Hunter teathers only seem to drop small orbs, which hardly fill teammate supers at all.

  • Bungie: Almost forgot, we're also "adjusting" Recluse/Mountaintop/Outbreak Perfected/1K Voices. We feel these weapons are too strong right now and will break the balance of the game. Here you go, there's some buffs :)

  • They will probably announce buffs in the next TWAB. The last one was the major impacts of the next season they wanted us to know about. Hopefully they were breaking the bad news to us first and giving us some good news soon. Gosh I sure hope so.

    • Personally, I'm waiting for Opulance. We don't know what kinda armor, guns etc they have planned. I would say we all should wait for Opulance and how it all plays out, instead of scream around. There are reasons they nerfed the weapons and armor pieces. We will see these reasons in the next season. So let's wait first. If it all appears useless after the new season, you are free to scream and yell what you want ;)

        But by nerfing those exotics, they won't [i]need[/i] any buffs because they'll all be equal or nearly so! [Insert sarcasm] Editing for missing sarcasm

        • We have one more TWAB, then the TWAB that will lay out the season, showing pinnacles, vidoc, new activity description, etc. That TWAB in between could be when bungie lists the buffs. Don't give up yet. It could be a case of ripping the band-aid off.

        • If yall nerf the whisper, I wont play destiny anymore! Just saying, what's the purpose of doing side quests to get an exotic that gives you an edge if you are just going to take it away?!? I have been a dedicated desti y fan since the beginning pre-purchasing every season pass, but I just wont play any longer! I am so sick of being happy about putting in the extra work just to have e it taken away EVERY time! This will be my final straw if it happens!

            The nerfs mentioned in the TWAB are not all Sandbox changes, only the ones that you will feel the most, this is stated before they list all changes. So we might get some buffs, but they didn't release them yet so we'll have to wait.

            • 100% agree with you. And the funny thing is, they are nerfing whisper because they want people to have other options for snipers. Maybe if they hadn’t nerfed box breathing to only apply to one shot other snipers could compete

              • If there really is only nerfs, and to the only good exotic armors and no buffs to the massive stockpiles of absolute shit we have, then that is Bungie's biggest failing with this update IMO. 90% of exotics are instant shard. You should never want to shard ANY of them.

                • Obviously now that whisper is getting nerfed we all will switch to other legendary snipers instead like bungie stated in the TWAB.

                  • Have you not noticed that Bungie often only gives us teasers of what changes they’re planning on making...? For all we know, they COULD be planning buffs, but just aren’t telling us. Also, quit complaining and try to think about the nerfs reasonably, as well as the fact that there isn’t even a single online game out there that doesn’t see powerful stuff get nerfed. -___-

                  • [quote]Eternal Warrior, Ashen Wake, ALL THE AEON ARMOR, Armamentarium, KHEPRIS HORN, Verity’s Brow, VESPER OF RADIUS, Winter’s Guile, GRAVITON FORFEIT, Sealed Ahamkhara Grasps, Frost-eez?[/quote] Could've just said nearly every exotic in the game. There's one good exotic per subclass, and maybe a decent gimmicky one that can be used with all subclasses. The rest suck. The same goes for weapons; most exotic weapons aren't really good or useful, just 'different.' An item quality with such a low drop rate, in addition to having no duplicate protection as well as being limited to only one per type, has every right to be leaps and bounds better than anything else that go in that slot. At this rate, most exotics are so underwhelming, that they may as well allow us to equip two armor exotics, and two weapons.
