Yeah... I was reading that change and immediately thought "so what's the point of Smoke, then?" They barely function as a minor distraction thanks to all the whining from people who can't stop burning a hole through their radar with their eyes, and now they won't function as a combat disruption tool either thanks to all the whining from people with zero object permanence. Allowing the use of movement abilities on top of that now just makes the ability a smaller, more ignorable Duskfield (and Duskfields are already ignorable as they are).
Now they're only "good" for applying Weaken, which is basically useless in a PvP setting outside of trying to proc things like Stylish, which weapons with Withering Gaze already do better.
People stopped using Prismatic Hunter after it got kneecapped multiple times, so players went back to using Void as it's practically the only subclass Hunter had that offered anything in the way of a neutral game (at the cost of a comparatively weak offering of Supers). So now what are Hunters supposed to do?
EDIT: And what I find truly bizarre in all this is that this ability was never once talked about in any serious capacity throughout the many years Destiny 2 existed, but the moment Prismatic drops suddenly Smoke Melee has "always been busted?" What world did the rest of you live in during the years leading up to these multiple nerfs to Void in the last couple of years?
Is it a result of every other semi-viable path for Hunters getting shotgunned in an alley, leaving us to crawl to Void in the hope that anything at all would work, and now that most Hunters are using it, the increased appearance of Smokes is too much for your monkey brain to handle? I seriously don't get it.

It’s all the crayons man.

I think it's telling that smokes had functioned almost exactly the same for years and it took them being put on a subclass that wasn't nightstalker for anybody to notice. Telling of how worthless nightstalker is as a subclass in pvp, that is.
-
This is big truth. Swarm Grenades paid the same price.
-
Yeah because smokes have been busted for a while.
-
Big FACTS... but clearly you can see that it's pointless. I said that years ago, abused them on my Hunter as well. Anyone who thinks otherwise was crutching them, or did not know how to play Hunter.
-
lol yeah I played omni hunter even when Pris Hunter not nerfed and it was seriously good. You can do a lot with two smokes. You get to just chuck one out while being able to use the other for invis. Not to mention the resist which blocks the 2 burst of 340 pulses which lets me 2 burst them instead.
-
And yet no one thought so or stated as much. Annoying maybe. But not busted. Doesn’t one shot. It doesn’t freeze you or suspend you. You can just walk out of it.
-
BS... lol.... it was huge debate throughout D2 lifespan.
-
Yet it hadn’t been mentioned for years. Lol people just get mad at hunters so easily. Time to start the petition for the bolt charge barricades but nerf, as thats actually oppressive in this sandbox
-
Right right... next you're gonna tell us before 20 sens the Hunter jump wasn't an issue....
-
Thats something people actually complain about. Smoke is something people get salty about when they step onto it. I have heard more people complain about titan overshields and warlock electro slide than hunter smokes.
-
If you actually think it's about stepping in smoke... we are done with this convo buddy.

Editado por ExMOSBoss: 3/7/2025 3:51:28 PMAlright, I suggest getting good then. It looks like your account hasn’t played in years though
-
Lmao..... you tell me to "git gud" but think the issue with smoke is ppl stepping in it .. Sheesh. Buh-bye
-
You havent played since June 2023. Why are you even here? You don’t even understand what the current sandbox feels like to play in. What an odd waste of your time to act like your input matters to a game you don’t play. Thats a professional hater/troll right there
-
Lmao... I replied to you specifically saying NOBODY SPOKE ABOUT SMOKE... Cmon Maaaaaaaaaaaaan Smoke HAS always been busted... FACTS.
-
You haven’t even played since its previous nerf. You opinion is invalid. Get off the forums of a game you don’t play, its obsessive frankyl
-
I'm sry? Who are you? Why do YOU think i gotta play when you allow it? I didn't even give my assessment on the current state of the game. I simply told you that smokes have always been busted and have always been debated. How about YOU move along? Child can't seem to grasp reality.
-
Lol what a weirdo latching onto a game he doesn’t play. Move on bud. Blocked. Don’t need useless trolls
