Loreley nerf

Hey just putting my two cents here, not complaining or whining about the nerf to loreley like most people do. I’m just wanting a dev note as to why it got reduced from providing restoration x2 sunspots from its exotic perk? Restoration x2 is a really rare buff to even get (yes it’s powerful, like stupid powerful) so why remove it from loreley? I felt like that was what made it exotic more so than the on demand sunspot when critically wounded/using a barricade. I would appreciate some dev insight into this, as opposed to a we will pass this onto the team, or we are listening feedback. Those aren’t helpful at all, just saying. P.S. I’m a hunter main, I just read those patch notes and genuinely got confused as to why it even got nerfed to begin with again as it’s rather tame and not as much of an issue anymore. So don’t go out there and say I’m a crayon eater, use correct titles. ;)

  • I just posted my own thread about it, but the rumor is that touch of malice combined with resto x2 is a pretty disgusting combo. That aside, let's look at how resto sat pre-nerf Restoration x1 - All classes can proc via healing grenade Restoration x2 - Warlock can proc via healing grenade and grenade buff aspect - Titans can proc via Loreley, no build requirement - Hunters have no means to proc restoration x2 on their own Restoration is already the hardest subclass effect to proc, which is probably fair because it's not interrupted and with ember of empyrean, once you activate it, you can try to chain it. The problem I see with this is that Loreley doesn't even need empyrean, and you don't need a build for it. Warlocks can either use empyrean, or build to regen grenades to increase uptime. Hunters literally can't proc restoration x2, even if you use empyrean, throwing the healing grenade again will not up the buff to x2. I think Loreley was lucky that it lasted this long. However I think Bungie should rework one of the worse solar fragments into something that procs restoration. I understand that it's very powerful, but I think having at least one other option besides healing grenade would be fine. Also I would like to see Bungie change restoration to where if you proc restoration x1, and maintain the buff, if you re-proc restoration, it should up the buff to restoration x2. This provides a gameplay incentive, and adds some more value back to empyrean. Right now, I don't even use empyrean on solar hunter, because I'm able to get grenade back often enough and radiant is active almost all the time since we can chain throwing knives.
