Blight Ranger and Raiju's Harness are still useless

At the very least, Blight Ranger needs to be able to convert incoming damage to super energy at a good enough rate that it can block indefinitely, as long as enough damage is coming in. It should be like Doomfang Pauldrons for Arc Staff. As for Raiju's, its first problem is that the person that redesigned it and the person who wrote its new description were not on the same page. It doesn't seem to actually give you any super energy for defeating debuffed targets, but what it does do (which isn't specified in the description at all) is refund you super energy for kills scored with the new lightning storm effect. It seems to be kind of like a worse version of Skull of Dire Ahamkara, or Shards of Galinor. If it actually gave super energy for killing debuffed targets, like it says, it could almost be a decent exotic, except for the fact that the lightning storm happens around you, not around your staff. In other words, Raiju's takes a safe ranged super and forces you to get up close into one-shotting range in order to use it effectively. If they changed the lightning storm to come down around where the staff lands, instead of around the player, and fixed the issue with the exotic not giving super energy when killing debuffed targets, Raiju's could actually become a pretty solid exotic.

  • I hate what was done to Raiju's Harness. It was more appealing to wear and use while using Arcstrider. But at least Blight Ranger looks decent with the photo finish shader.

    • And FFS make Mask of Bakris work with an Arc super too. It buffs Stasis and Arc damage yet you can't use the exotic with an Arc super. Its poooooooooooo!

      • It's because bungie are making exotics that fit PvE and PvP. Which make them most of the time mid in PvE

      • I'm fine with the raiju's harness rework, if it actually did give you more super energy for killing arc debuffed enemies, but either it doesn't or the amount it does give is so low it's negligible. I strongly dislike the blight ranger rework. Not only did they take away the only good part( the orbs), but they replaced it with something that does what a single grenade or special can do. Why use a super to kill a single small group of trash adds? Half the time reflecting doesn't even work since the enemies will just walk up and punch you. All they needed to do was make the super pull all agro and force enemies to shoot instead of melee. Then, it would have been a good defense/distraction support choice that would have generated a ton of orbs for people. I always thought it would be so cool to be blocking in front of your team and having them shoot past you like an imitation banner titan.

        • If Blight Ranger and Raiju's Harness are struggling to stay afloat even with their buffs, then Gwisin Vest is the f***ing Titanic

          • Blight ranger just needs a complete rework. The arc staff redirecting damage is a cool idea on paper, but not practical. The orbs was the only use really. So my suggestion is this: While blocking with arc staff, periodically sends out homing arc nanos. Kind of like the ones used from the ascension exotic but they have to be stronger and blinding. Maybe some kind of offensive use for it.

            • Both should interact with the new arc aspect ascension. Like with blight ranger, you can reflect damage while airborne in pve when ascension is equipped. After activity ascension while Raijus is equipped you gain a buff to arc weapons damage.

                • And blight ranger was nerfed out of the box. We didn’t even get to use it before it was nerfed into the ground

                  Blight Ranger needs a rework to its (non-existent) deflect buff. Have deflected projectile attacks generate a high-damage Arc burst--that Jolts--on impact, with a 2-3 second cooldown in between the Arc bursts. Raiju's Harness should be reworked to grant increased radius and duration to Gathering Storm.
