So I was revisiting D1 recently and was reminded that the original Ophidians offered improved Siphon Abilities and life Steal was the Devour equivalent in D1. Since the melee range buff was removed can we get some of that D1 Ophidian flavor?

10 RepliesYeah, let's keep buffing the most popular Exotics in the game. Great idea.

Edited by Ray92: 7/25/2024 9:00:02 AMHmm it’d probably be broken in PvP as usual

2 RepliesI think they need to reprise The Ram exotic helm instead. Which is pretty much improved devour/life steal on melee (aka Karnstiens) meets The Stag, with the resist/armour buff. But seeing as these two already are exotics in the game I doubt The Ram will return sadly.

6 RepliesI mean, it's not a bad idea, but I think I'd rather see a skull buff first since that one feels way more left behind.

elitegtryin to work with whats left.. for now - 4/3/2026 12:46:30 PM
I use Ophid only for PVP but I think its a great idea to make that or some other functionality exist ONLY for PVE.. I honestly feel the crucible has so many instaheal things going on now.. its sad. You watch people you took to one shot/half a shot.. a sneeze.. come right back with full health in a split sec. You're actually making them worse players. I do not use devour as I like the effects of vortex and of course child in both PVP and PVE but listen I'm not gonna complain if you want to put me in parity with the rest. Overall good idea. -

It's perk improved all siphon abilities... this shouldn't include Devour, it's already so strong... but yes to applicable fragments on Void and Prismatic. Yes for Demolitionist, Wellspring, and Puglist. Yes for (exotic) weapon traits. No for armor mods.
