Warlock Shadebinder melee has had this bug for over a year, I cant take it anymore.

Hello everyone, This is my first post on the forums so cut me some slack. When stasis came out just like everyone else I became very attached to the playstyle of Shadebinder in PvP, paired with salvagers salvo it was so fun to freeze people or groups then GL them. But when the nerfs started rolling around a new inconsistency with the ranged melee freeze has pushed me away from the subclass. Often (around 1 in 4 ranged melees) I get visual confirmation that the attack has hit but it doesn't freeze the target, this comes in the form of the visual explosion of stasis and the 31 damage tick popping up on screen. BUT no freeze sometimes. This leads me to make bad plays (slide out to punch just to get shotgunned, slide out with my sniper instead of a side arm to snipe the frozen target) that end with me getting killed from the misleading information. I am including a clip from IB today, where you can see the melee hit a target, see the stasis explosion, see the 31 damage, and yet the target is not frozen when I go to engage. As much as I would love Bungie to change this melee back to what it was before the nerfs it has received I moreso just don't want to be misled by these indicators that I have hit my skill shot. Thoughts? Thanks, JoeMaMa

  • I cant see what class it is, maybe it could be a titan wearing those exotics legs that makes you harder to freeze? Probably not, just assuming but not surprised as melee registration is very strange in this game, my guess is due to connection issues where sometimes players dont get affected by damage or debuffs due to poor P2P connectivity

  • It's annoying. Also the hit registration with the melee has significant delay, often rewarding aggressive players for pushing a shadebinder.

  • I think he ran out of a well. Cant freeze if they have the well buff as everyone knows.
