I saw someone post about this. I liked their idea.
TB was nerfed because of how well it worked with:
A. Rapid fire frames before their re-work
B. Instant reload
Both of these things have been reworked/nerfed. Because of this, TB doesn’t have a place in the meta. I propose that TB works the way it used to. Meaning the DPS buff works for the entirety of the 3 seconds.
[spoiler]FYI, I can’t recall if the “TB” was hit too when the nerf to Rampage and other damage boosting perks came.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyIt could use a revert. Got the new IKELOS Shotty from the Dungeon and Threat Detector/Vorpal Weapon was WAY more enticing than Threat Detector/Trench Barrel.

Lol I hope it gets buffed somehow, it’s going to have to be pretty strong to get me to re-grind the EXACT SAME IKELOS SHOTGUN ROLL THAT I ALREADY HAVE FROM 2 YEARS AGO

1 ReplyEdited by reenry: 6/27/2020 12:56:18 PMTrench Barrel meta, oh god. [b]forsaken ptsd[/b] I think trench barrel is balanced where its at. If you remember correctly it melted bosses as a special weapon.
-
Because of the stomp mechanic, you had to kinda melee anyway to stay within range of the boss.

Edited by Lull9: 6/26/2020 5:07:21 AMI'm all in favor of reverting it but it's still good as-is. It's just not a boss melting perk anymore. Should it really be though? But of course, swords are pretty stupidly OP too, so why not, I guess. Same difference.

Do you consider it a bad or mediocre perk now, compared to the other options?

6 RepliesNow that auto reload is gone, we need: -Reverted Trench Barrel -Reverted Box Breathing -Rockets with 2 in the magazine (without clown cartridge) -New perks that function similarly to Trench Barrel and Box Breathing now that reload can serve as a balancing mechanism.

Reverse all the nerfs on good perks and if they are already there get rid of all the crappy perks which no one but bungie wants us to play.
-
Won't happen cause of pc!

stomp mechanic will still render it useless
-
Yes Shotgun start useless after grenade launcher buff

2 RepliesTrench barrel was nerfed because it was overpowered.

I wouldn’t mind it. Honestly rapid fire frame shotguns should go back to their original speed, trench barrel should get the 3 bullets and done thing removed, and trench barrel’s damage buff should get docked down to 30% or something to compensate.

4 RepliesI don’t think Trench Barrel was nerfed with the damage perks, but I could be wrong. I wouldn’t mind it back to old glory. 😈

Nah man why would they give us something we want back? It gives us a little more fun. Helps us a little too. The fun police will not approve of this.

Box Breathing too.

No. TB is still very powerful, essentially allowing you to maintain Rapid Fire DPS, but over a longer period of time. Even though auto-reloading is gone, there are still ways to get around this through Dodge, Demolitionist, or even running 2 shotguns. Shotguns overall seem to be in a really good place, they have good DPS with good utility perks allowing it to be good in multiple situations, I don't want it to become the must have boss DPS weapon, again. On the topic of reverting weapons and perks, I do think there are some good contenders. First, I would absolutely increase Rocket Launcher damage, with auto-reloading, you could fire anywhere between 6 and 10 rockets in a very short amount of time, which was absolutely insane, but even with the reload methods I showed above, you are getting off 3 maybe, which would not make it completely OP compared to other Power weapon options. The only outlier would be Truth, but given that it doesn't have Cluster Bombs, I don't think it would be OP. I also think Box Breathing could go back to its original form without potential to break the game.
