Osteo Striga nerf, it makes zero sense.

So as a player who cant not have osteo on warlock with necrotic grips, I did the legend campaign solo with that and a devour build on warlock, and the whole time the nerf to osteo [Only makes poison explosions on kill once every 4 seconds] just fells weirdly targeted at only easy content. Like in strikes and such your never gonna hit enough shots to poison a individual target before they die, but in the nightfall this week on just "Advanced" I was able to hit even some dregs enough to poison them before they died. So in higher tier content osteo can still spread poison like crazy and the only place the nerf is affecting it is low lvl content where everything gets shredded anyway. Its just annoying to, in some spots where there might be 1 add alone and it takes your poison burst on kill then a whole group of thrall come running around the corner and you don't get a single poison burst until you kill the last one in the group, it just feels bad. On top of that the other 2 weapons of sorrow can spread poison on every kill still, thorn just has to get a kill with its bullet to spread poison and necrochasm can do it via its explosion kills [IDK i don't have that exotic but i know it spreads poison somehow]. That and poison damage can still be completely stopped by stasis which putting that on top of how infrequently you can get a poison burst every 4 seconds just makes me wanna slap the stasis hunters I played with in onslaught even more, I still think this is the only damage type that can be negated by another source of damage so if they plan on nerfing it more please make the poison at least affect slowed and frozen targets. I would have just removed the ability to overflow the mag or even take out the auto loading entirely.

  • That combo is OP. It needed to be knocked down a bit. Speaking as a warlock who frequently uses it.

    • I believe it's because with the new warlock exotic class item, they knew a lot of pve players are going to include it with osteo as the gun works in unison with the necrotic grip perk and they're trying to get ahead of the powercreep. But leaves a problem for anyone that's not a warlock unfortunately
