Get this in the pipeline NOW Bungo…

[b]All of your non-stacking exotic nerfs will need to be changed. [/b] To be clear, I main Titan and the only exotic I use that will be affected by the changes is Burning Steps. With this in mind, I predict with confidence that [u]the nerf will kill the exotic.[/u] I love using this exotic now, but it isn’t easy to keep the buff up in most scenarios, especially at x4, and it’s alternate functionality is pretty much useless. On the other hand, Surges are far easier to activate and cost much less. They are more convenient and they aren’t tied to an exotic armor piece, meaning you can run any other exotic build in the game and get a near identical damage increase with only a few mods and less effort. It takes either a full solar build or total commitment to a solar weapon to maximize PoBS, whereas all surges need are an orb and a few mods to be effective. Honestly the nerf would be fine if the exotic were to still stack with Surges, but hey, what do I know. Finally, I speak only as a Titan, but I’m sure that the other exotics will experience a similar fate, including the Eternal Warrior. [b]Bungie, don’t take a whole year to revisit this out-of-touch change. [/b]

  • I think PoBS should increase special and heavy solar weapon damage by 28 or 30%. Have primary damage stay at 25. That way it still has a "exotic" use.

  • I see what you're saying but I think even if the surge mods don't stack you could probably still throw on one so when you get orbs you'll have a lesser damage buff until you proc PotBS exotic perk but once it's activated you'll get a higher damage ceiling than 3 surge mods. It's supposed to be 25% while 3 surges is 22% I think. I'm looking at the same thing with Mantle of Battle Harmony. It can still make sense to include a surge mod but just don't sell out on them.

    • this change would only be beneficial IF bungie decided to nerf the damage increase provided by surge mods. as it is now, you will only gain a 3% damage increase vs 3 surge mods, which is hardly worth being called exotic. i hardly use Titan, but I can see the laziness and lack of creativity with this "rework".

    • When hasn't Bungie killed a Titan exotic though? LOL. Like yeah. Though to be fair same thing with Mantle of Battle Harmony which wasn't even used that much anyway. A 6% buff!!!?? For the low low cost of never using your Super?? Wtf Bungie. I do NOT understand why they want to take the fun out of the game. Why? What is the point of these exotic nerfs? Who is in charge of these decisions and why are they making them?

    • While I can see where Bungie is going with this change to exotic armor damage buffs and surge damage buffs; It does suck that these boots will be hit kinda hard. Like you said the buff is hard to keep up as it is not a guaranteed stack of damage buff on kill. They really do need to look back at some of these exotics that will no longer stack with surge mods as without the damage buff from the mods, this exotic and I'm sure others too will be back collecting dust in the vault or dismantled altogether. It's like when these boots first came out, they were good, but once paired with Warmind Cells it became a whole new beast. We lost those with LF, gained a new way to get [i]more[/i] damage out of our weapons with the new mods and the damage buff from the exotic, only to have Bungie say, "Nah, too stronk, nerf bat inc." and did nothing to rework it's functionality for better upkeep on the buff at all. This was one of my first thoughts as well when I read the exotic tuning update. Sucks.

    • You are not a streamer so they don’t care.

    • What feels bad is most year one exotics are obsolete and rarely get used due to better options, especially for armor.

    • Nerfing things is always so boring… hope you get what you want. Enjoy the game and be happy.

      Loved using burning steps as a solar titan main. Bungie really wants to discourage any nuance in how any of these exotics function in pve.
