I think these changes are absolutely abominable, they genuinely make me mad
They chose to completely shut down its use on strand titan, and took away the skill gap of using it at the right distance for the wave to hit and come back to hit again.
This isn’t going to make it worth using in PvE, so they just got rid of its main subclass synergy for PvP.
I think that these two things should be reverted:
- Waves only travel outwards and don’t come back anymore.
- Requires solar super to be equipped
The exotic is now completely tied to prismatic to make it not useless in PvP.

It’ll be 100% worth using in PvE. For content like legend onslaught, it’s very strong already. Getting your barricade back in 4 Solar kills is crazy, barricades pull agro, meaning good survivability. Solar fragments propel this even further with the amount of ignitions being detonated. The third wave is equivalent to a 50% damage buff, they track(making it much more reliable)and applying sunspots increase its CC, survivability and ability regen. You can now also RELIABLY run all three Solar Titan aspects with the sunspot addition to the exotic. I use it in 50 wave expert onslaught a lot, and it’s very consistent and effective.
