[quote]I actually suggested they do that on a post talking about stasis as a whole in pvp as slow is already sufficiently powerful and freeze is just really annoying. I never expected them to reduce the effectiveness of it so quickly nor this dramatically though either. Not to like put on a tinfoil hat or nothing, but I think the raid may be part of why they nerfed the melee. Having a 28 meter aoe freeze that can spawn freezing seekers probably didn't fly under their radar considering neither of the other 2 classes can do THAT level of control and with how powerful it is against everything that isn't bosses (or the damn overload enemies) I'd say they likely thought about it. It's not the first time they've nerfed a subclass because it was too strong for the content they created and I think shadebinder could have potentially been one of those (not that I know as I didn't use it, but I've seen how stupid it can be). But I don't think this nerf will last the way it is with this much outrage going on. I'd say if they were smart that they would roll the range back to at least 20 meters and reduce the travel speed nerf to -10% instead of -20%. They already said they were going to continue "listening to feedback" and so another hotfix could drop next Thursday (which is after raid launch day) that adjusts it again.[/quote] Well said
