Gathering storm super

I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve been using this super in pvp it’s super underwhelming for a super. The damage feels lacking and the only way for it to actually nab a kill is if it makes direct contact to the target. The overcharge area affect is slow it won’t get you kills unless someone decides to sit in it for too long. Soo I’m just thinking maybe it can get a buff? Maybe not to the damage but to the amount of time it takes for pulses to take affect with the area it covers, realistically you’re mainly going to get 1 kill with it most of the time and it’s just not very rewarding for a super you toss away and expect to get a few kills with. If you have any thoughts to this please share them.

If you have any thoughts to this please share them.[/quote] Agree. That's my biggest concern and it irritates me. I don't like supers where you have to actively use it. I want to throw my super and carry on shooting and let it do the rest. This is why i love silence and squall and the stasis subclass... But there is one problem, it does not have blink. Blink is what i have wished for ever since hunters got it removed. Now it's back but on the "wrong" subclass (it should be long in darkness with stasis.. even the enemies use blink and stasis) and i'm stuck with Arc. The first problem is that it takes a second or two for the lightning to strike the staff... The second problem is that it's static and don't chase/move around and it's super easy to dodge or jump out of it's range. Direct hit is only way to get a kill most times. It feels more like a powerful grenade rather than a super. Just wish blink was on stasis (i hope Bungie allows this since you can pick different jumps and dodges on the rest of the subclasses) and i would forget arc and never look back.

  • I thought so too but when I get 2 or more with it, the initial chain always kills whomever is near it. Its less forgiving than panic supers like Silence and Squall or Blade Barrage but it still feels good imo.

      Just use it differently, big groups rather than 1 person, block a hallway or hold down a flag

      • I had someone throw it at me in the tiny corridor the leads out to the awning that overlooks the middle open area in bannerfall, hopefully you know where I mean. Anyway it must have missed me by an inch and I just slid back out towards the inside ( A) capture point, through it's AOE and sidearm spammed them to death as the confusingly followed me in... I actually felt likeI cheated them! The super sucks!
