That sunbracers nerf is outta pocket bungie…

Edit: I don’t like that they touched sunbracers in the first place, they weren’t an issue. I wish they focused on exotics that need help, and not ones that are already strong.

  • Did an onslaught yesterday where I didn't get to kill anything because a sunbracers warlock was camping the spawns..... For some, this is fun, me I like to actually play the game, and I'm not a big fan of idle games

      They're focused on EVERYTHING that will burn the bosses down in TFS....to make it more.... challenging. It sucks, and it's why I refuse to purchase anything else from this company. This game of "power fantasy" has turned into a job. If it had a social security number I'd file it as a dependent.

    • Sunbracers have been busted for years, only being allowed to exist because other exotics were even more busted (Lunafaction, Phoenix Protocol, Starfire Protocol). This nerf was very justified and also is just a slap on the wrist for the exotic. It will still be exceptional and overtuned, just less so than it is currently.

    • 1 grenade less isn't going to affect you that much. Normally 4 grenades is enough given that most ads only spawn from 2 locations. Pair it with a dragons breath if you are that concerned.

      • Sun bracers have been strong for seasons independent of the artifact. They were a main choice for soloing in the GotD dungeon because they were basically infinitely loopable with insane ad clear. And even before that two sunbracer warlocks could easily cheese riven by themselves. I don't care if you think it should be nerfed or not, but it was definitely not un expected, I've been expecting them to do something about them for a while

        I agree I was underwhelmed with the exotic changes, but the nerf to Sunbracers was the most reasonable nerf they’ve done in years regarding an exotic. I personally don’t think it’ll move the bar on their usage much though… they’re still at least a league above starfire and dawns chorus, rain of fire (is too niche) and wings of sacred dawn are significantly more PvP oriented, and promethean spur is still bugged, so I would be surprised if the nerf accomplishes what Bungie would like it to anyhow.

          Compared to what they did to YAS and Starfire Protocol, this is a slap on the wrist. Though, I would have preferred if they didn't touch Sunbracers at all, or at least added something else, like a second Solar Grenade charge, or increased Scorch stacks on Solar Grenades, to compensate for the nerfs. That's the one thing I hate the most about Bungie's so-called "balance" changes. They nerf every good aspect of an Exotic or subclass that made them a little too potent, and give it nothing to compensate, often resulting in the subclass or Exotic being underpowered, rather than being "brought in line" with the others.

        • I usually get 300 kills in the Devil's Lair strike. When I find a handful of solar grenades heading my way before I can even knock an arrow, it needs nerfed. Finding yourself at less than 50 kills as an ad clearer in a strike of over 400 enemies is ridiculous.

        • not out of pocket is deserved and seasonal artifact have nothing to do with sunbracers, and the nerf will do nothing to the sunbracers

          • Even without the seasonal artifact the way you can chain the grenades to reaquire your melee and chain this back to back is still going to be strong to use. Ahhamkara spine was nerfed… Synthoceps is going to Be neutered…. That is a NERF.. [spoiler]…and yes I was maining synthos long before even banner of war or strand beserker existed on a titan.. so I’m pizzed about it. Adapt, overcome and kick azz as normal. They aren’t going to change their mind anyway.[/spoiler]

          • Sunbracers were OP outside of the Artifact. Sure, the Artifact did buff them quite a bit, especially for Boss Damage, but since the Drop of Solar 3.0, Sunbracers have been Nutty. Overshadowed by better Damage options, but nutty nonetheless.

            • Stop playing warlock. Newbies are mostly warlock. They will buy eververse items for warlock class. Suddenly they will realize this class is no good and will move to either hunter or titan. They will spend on eververse items again. Business

                It’s going to have zero impact and it’s beyond annoying not being able to see anything on the screen when I’m fighting. I use a Sunbracer build at times as a Warlock main and it’s absurdly powerful but the inability to see the battle field has made me use it a lot less. All they’ve done is help clear the screen slightly when using them. It’s a small nerf and needed.

                • Lmao. Which seasonal mod does anything for Solar grenades? I’m honestly curious. The thing has been incredibly strong for so long. It’s time for a change, and this is a baby nerf

                    • The artifacts mods basically do nothing to sunbracers. It encourages you to play solar. But it doesnt make sunbracers better.

                    • [quote]I hate it when bungie does this. The only reason that sunbracers was as potent as they were this season is because of THE SEASONAL ARTIFACT. In no way is the nerf necessary for balancing… They always do this. They ship a busted mod for the seasonal artifact and then nerf things because of the temporary heightened potency of gear that season. Then it takes literal years before they buff them again. And on another note: seriously? That’s all the exotic updates you’re giving us for FS?? There’s so many useless exotics in the game that need serious love, and you decide to nerf a few and call it a day. Good lord.[/quote] They barely did anything to it. It’s been getting heavy usage for over half a year at this point, long before this season released. The seasonal artifact is not related to the nerf.
