Yeah with two additional perks though. Axion bolt does somewhere near base melee damage or just above which would also leave you at one shot by almost anything.
They've also made firebolts useless now. You won't get those burn stacks unless you're in radiance or have an exotic, and firebolts don't have an exotic to give them another nade.

Editado por AMC_07: 6/16/2016 3:36:39 PMAxion bolt does do a bit more damage, but it only targets two enemies and is quite slow, allowing someone in PvP to escape it. It's a fair trade off. Arc bolts and fire bolts are similar as they both target three enemies rapidly, and I believe arc bolt is a bit stronger as fire bolt has the perks to give it a burn. I'm not 100% sure about the difference between arc and fire though I'll need to test the burn stacks, but the grenades themselves are not useless. You can hit multiple enemies behind cover with them, and track where they are going with the burn. The burn stacks are probably more meant for PvE or to help boost radiance after this change

Arc and fire have both been nerfed before. Arc used to do 122. Now it does 91. Fire used to do 97. Now it does 85. Firebolts were stronger in year one and nobody complained then. Also arcbolt (on warlocks) can be upgraded with arc web bringing the damage total up to 137 (46 more). Firebolt now can only get up to 130 (5 ticks of 7 damage, standard burn).
