Just why?

I haven't posted in the last few years because I felt bungie doesn't read any of the forums on there own sight. I'm posting here now because I don't know where else to go. I don't main a titan, my titan is last inline. but when I got the exotic helmet Loreley Splendor Exotic last week I was excited. I had spent weeks if not months grinding for it to drop. finally it does. I read up on the awesome build I could do for it and deconstructed half my vault of weapons and armor just to upgrade and reroll armor over and over and over. I burned through the season pass for a week straight to get the resources needed. I finally ran content I couldn't have done otherwise. I was able to help my clan and specifically my wife do raids and dungeons for the first time with out feeling like I was a burden more then a help. I was having fun for the first time in a long time. ligitimate laughing and joking around kind of fun with that build. then we find out on reset that the helmet got a nerf that affected it in such a way I can't use my titan any longer to tank damage. not properly. I get that it may have been over powered. but isn't that half the fun? isn't destiny about having a power trip and being a BA? what I don't understand is why can't titans have the helmet as it was? what because warlocks have basically the same thing with well? I don't want to play my warlock I want to play my titan. I want to be the panicle of a brick wall protecting my family and friends ingame from massive amounts of enemy DPS. I want to be the titan that can soak up so much DPS when reviving someone it makes me look like a raid boss while doing it. so what was the reason to nerf it? was it a pvp issue? or was it because the exotic was functioning better then you (bungie) had anticipated? or was it because people were using it as intended and you didn't like your game being played like that? I don't get it. I'd trade every exotic, piece of gear, or whatever just to have that one build for my titan. have you ever stopped and thought about making each class actually special? you had something with that helmet. you had a Tank class, and you nerfed it. you could easily make it so that titans can be a tank class or a DPS class. a hunter the moderate between the two, a warlock as a power house and support class. these things would make characters special. instead it feels like you only care about everyone being the same, doing the same thing. just with a different skin. yes I'm angry as hell. I spent time, and effort into making my titan as strong as I could. and it was nerfed before it even had a chance to shine. this is exactly why I left the game for few years (nerf after nerf to exotics). and I'm sure the toxic replys will start up as soon as people finish reading this, causing me again to leave the site again. (I honestly dont care what other people think of this comment its made as feedback) I just want to understand why I keep getting screwed in destiny. it happened more often then not in D1. I'm hoping this isn't the start of d2 repeating that.

  • Bungie seems to balance things super weirdly, but honestly don’t really see how they could nerf lorely without gutting the helmet totally. I loved using lorelys, but it was only a matter of time before it got a nerf. You could tank absurd amounts of dmg, it was to the point that in day 1 kings fall me clan had to take off lorelys to wipe most of the time. Only way you were dying with the helm on was if a boss in contest mode or GMs lasers you and it just nukes down all your health faster than it can heal. While saying that though, I had 0 problem surviving on solar titan in master NFs after the lorely nerf 10 under light. Just put on healing wells (if you have it) and your essentially unkillable. Mix this with heart of inmost light for essentially 10 second grenades of your choice and im having more fun now than i ever did with lorleys.

  • Bungie needs start balancing properly, lorely was incredibly strong to the point of not being able to wipe some raid encounters without a cliff. 100% deserved the nerf just not to the point of being a waste of an exotic slot. Put a cooldown on the effect like mask of bakris (forces 10 secs where dodge will not recharge, maybe 30 secs for this) This is the sad truth of destiny and it is -blam!-. I am a warlock main and even I see how stupid this change is. Hunters get some busted gear because they make up most of the player base, and warlocks require heavy setups which make them arguably the best class. I love playing the crayon eating war machine but bungie has let them fall into a place no change or exotic will fix. Lorely was the first thing in a long time which bought titans on par with other classes in their own way.
