If that quote held any sort of water then when would see it. Currently not only are most melee builds not viable in endgame content, but Titans themselves have had to watch most melee builds get absolutely destroyed over the last few months. It started with the massive nerf to 1-2 Punch and Wormgods Caress. It was just understandable, seeing as the damage was ridiculously high. At the same time, it was only viable on some bosses, and extremely timing/skill based to pull off in most scenarios. But that’s fine, it’s understandable. Next was the general difficulty increase which is also fine, but it did also shove melee builds into the dirt more with it promoting the ‘hide behind cover and tickle enemies’ gameplay style that was already present before. Finally comes the Synthoceps Glaive nerf which was.. probably the most absurd and least understandable of this whole list. Not only were there better options almost universally, but it was only viable in niche situations against bosses. Against enemies it was extremely high risk, high reward especially in something like a Master Nightfall. Despite all that it still didn’t last more than 2 weeks until it was brought in. Worst of all, the nerf made Judgement of Kelgorath WITH Close to Melee (+40% damage) do LESS damage than a UNCHARGED MELEE both with Synthoceps. They didn’t just ‘tweak it’. They murdered it. A complete gameplay style for Titans pulled out from under us in 1 swift move, I think the most ironic thing is the point of nerfing Titan Exotics and even other classes exotics to work with Glaives becomes even more irrelevant. Because if somethings too good with a Glaive it’ll face the same treatment. It’s getting exhausting to pursue endgame items, only for them to be obliterated in a few weeks. Punishing players for obtaining strong gear just isn’t it. Endgame gear should be strong, and players shouldn’t feel like there’s a time limit on their fun. Edit: Hey folks, just to clarify this is a PvE targeted post. While I’m sure PvP has its own going ons, this was mainly made to target Titans role in PvE content/experiences. Thank you!
