The cloudstrike and other clearly bused things in pvp
The cloudstrike needs a nerf man. I'm tired of dying because of my teammates getting sniped. I think that its fine that it does a lightning strike after a kill, I just don't think it should 1 shot another person. Maybe take them down to half or something like that. Antaeus wards is another exotic I have an issue with. I believe that an exotic like that is harmful for the game. Especially when combined with weapons like the adept immortal. It is just an anti-fun exotic. Arc titan too. Arc titans just run trials and it is impossible to play any other type of titan without putting yourself at a major disadvantage. I already mentioned it earlier, but the adept immortal is way too strong. I can't take a midrange fight against it while I'm running the ace. In no world should an smg be able to out gun the best hand cannon in the game outside of smg's range. It is fine if the immortal is the most powerful smg at close range, but it also outguns some auto rifles from range. Moral of the story is the immortal has too much range. The worst of all is when all the things mentioned above are combined. It just makes me not want to play this game. Trials is unplayable unless you run the things above. I hope someone agrees with me on my issues on this game. This post is not meant to attack the balance team, it's just some things that I noticed ruin the fun in this game.

Take a deep breath, count to three then fix that wall of text.

First, paragraphs are great to separate different parts of a topic, making it easier for readers to follow along. Second, just about everything you are complaining about was already discussed in the a recent post, and is getting nerfed next season. Third, Void Titan is just as useful. I love Void Titan and go flawless with it every weekend.

Wish granted. Check out the latest article about upcoming changes for next season

Cloud strike is getting its multi kill potential nerfed. Don’t worry , I’ll look forward to the meta shift and await the next nerf cry.
-
Cloudstrike is the perfect counter to teamshotting right now get rid of that, and we may as well be back in Vanilla d2 pvp

1 ReplyEdited by l Xemnas: 8/15/2023 10:45:22 PMWhy is it whenever someone brings up immortal being busted, its always the adept version? Never hear "messenger adept is busted" or "igneous adept is too strong." Always the nase version of the gun, but somehow immortal is only ever mentioned as adept. Just makes it seem like they're upset they were unable to go flawless and just want the adept version nerfed. As for cloudstrike, i think its fair right now. Punishes people who hold hands in pvp. I still feel something should be done about flinch on snipers but thats just my personal bias.

I recall having over 10k kills with Cloudstrike when it was at like 0.7% usage and prior to the catalyst. Then the catalyst came and all the aimbotters jumped on board lol. There's so many greater problems than Cloudstrike, and any nerf to it will likely just yeet it out of the game. They're doing about the only nerf they can.

1 ReplyA sniper that doesn't ohk on crits is pretty much pointless.

18 RepliesNerf controller aim assist and it fixes many of the issues with outliers
-
what they should do is just make it that the lightning strike takes of your teammates shield and half health or leaves your team mate with 3 quatres if he gets hit by the lightning from being near you when you get head shotted. though yeah you can avoid it most of the time if you go around the side and flank rather then running down the middle, unless you get those guys who can slide and headshot with it cuz they are either cheating or figured something out with aim assist, or are using keyboard and mouse

I think it’s alright but it shouldn’t get nerfed instead it should be reworked,they could give it vorpal and make it so the lighting was like an enhanced storm grenade. Like yeah you won’t get oneshot but if you’re already weak it’ll clean you right up or at least leave you low,it would still be an awesome pick for people who learn to use it but it wouldn’t be “OP”.

Edited by TACO_Adept: 8/16/2023 2:00:52 AMYou certainly nerfed paragraphs!
-
7 RepliesSnipers should be slow & clunky with low handling. They shouldn't be capable of 100 stats across the board. I honestly think that they should be pickup weapons, not free kills from down range because one can't use a primary.
-
I ran a round robin and sniper on Hunter and had a bunch of solo flawless runs...while the meta is oppressing, you can still find ways to succeed.
-
It's already getting a nerf next season, they are reducing the AOE damage to 90 and radius to 3 meters.
-
Cloud strike is only as prevalent as it is thanks to a certain horribly balanced SMG. Cloudstrike’s perk has the feeling of a classic D1 exotic in terms of its utility and power, so I’d rather not see any massive changes to it anyway.
-
Cloudstrike is a 140 rpm, rapid-fire sniper. This is the lowest damage sub family in the game. Unless you can crit, the sniper has to 3 body to score a kill. Obviously this is not busted Cloudstrike just happens to be the only usable rapid fire sniper in pvp because it causes the lightning strikes and has very high handling with the catalyst Don’t run through lanes
-
2 RepliesLeave cloudstrike alone. Just don’t peak sniper lanes. Easier as that. The body shot damage is way less than any other sniper in the game. The lightning only works if u hit the head. Spam crouch my dude. Just get better
-
clearly bused.
-
2 RepliesCloudstrike’s lightning attack is getting nerfed but can’t remember if it’s next season or 23
-
It’s the external devises adding extra aim asst and no recoil that make the immortal what it is at range. Cheating hacks is why you are loosing that one.
-
Arc antaeus with immortal adept + cloudstrike. Guilty as charged.
