I agree nerfs are bad. Strongholds should be left alone. And I’ll tell you why, Bungie has never, ever been able to nerf [b][u]ANYTHING[/u][/b] in the game without nerfing it into the ground. If Strongholds get gutted then I want to see Getaway Artist, Contraverse Hold, Fortunes Favour and all the other exotics that Warlocks and Hunters crutch on get nerfed into oblivion too. I mean for crying out loud, Getaway Artist on Prismatic Warlock can clear a room without you having to fire a single weapon. Edit 2 :- scrub that, GA can do the same on Arc Warlock too, you just don’t get the insane survivability on Arc Warlock. But no, let’s nerf Strongholds because some low skilled players are having fun and it annoys us that they aren’t dying all the time in hard content and then abandoning the game. /🙃. Just allow players to shoot through the blocking mechanic and then they can become quite useful. Bungie said get were not going to nerf anything anymore or at least have a light touch on doing so, in their last live stream. I’m tired of the nerfs and I’m tired of the constantly changing meta. Just let people play how they want to play. Finally there are far bigger problems in the game, other than Strongholds getting Warlock’s and Hunter’s knickers in a twist because they couldn’t clear a room on their own or do cheesy over the top damage with Crimson, Uncivil discourse and Lucky Pants. 🙃 They weren’t a problem until Rushdown got all you supposedly “1337 players” all upset. 🤣 And when I could be bothered to play on my Titan, seeing as both Warlock and Hunter had better DPS options, I still out-damaged you supposedly better players, 9/10 times. I assure you this was not from standing there and twirling the Glow Stick and reflecting damage. Bungie need to get rid of all the bugs, stop cheating in Crucible, increase the damage of primaries, stop allowing people to crutch on double special rocket pulses and finally make some decent content to bring back the playerbase. This non-issue should be at the bottom of their list of priorities. Edit :- As I read some of your comments below, I realised that many of you don’t realise that EVERY DLC that Bungie has released has had some sort of “Pay2Win” feature. Strand and Quicksilver Storm in Lightfall, Prismatic and many exotics like Choir of One, Still Hunt etc in The Final Shape. And they nerfed most of these weapons, especially poor old Quicksilver. That wonderful weapon is effectively dead now😔. Praxic Blade will get nerfed, but I don’t imagine for one minute that Lucasfilm would have allowed Bungie to nerf their most iconic weapon into the ground when Bungie were given the license to use the lightsaber. It’ll be a light touch, along with the artifact removal, then this Stronghold furore will die down. They should be buffing other weapons, especially exotic weapons to compete for that slot.

Every single time something gets popular, it gets nerfed. It is not breaking the game, it doesn't outclass anything. It just synergizes perfectly. This is why people are leaving. What is the point of spending a lot of time making builds, if it will just get nuked shortly there after. Buff other things to give us more options. Ever thought about that ? We might be using this because the alternatives are not as appealing.

It wouldn't be Destiny if Bungie didn't nerf an exotic because of Artifact synergies they themselves put into the game. You can only play Bungie's way, but even if you do [i]that[/i] too well they still nerf you.

Strongholds shouldn’t give free invincibility with no downsides. They should absolutely be nerfed. Even if only slightly.

Bungie corp meeting: marathon numbers are not what we expected…numbers falling off…..dark echo in the corner whispers: if you make the guardians not want to play, then they will all leave and play marathon….Bungie Corp heads all glaze out and start murmuring to them selves….yeeessss excellent.. feel it…let it flow thru you whispers the dark shadow with multiple heads streaming out of the top of it in a smoke… one bungee exec says I never did like stronghold…. Another one pipes up….and those wizard Grenades what were we thinking this is why people keep playing destiny and not coming the marathon… the CEO at the head of the table nods to the being in the corner of the room. It’s decided then Nerf everything remotely fun…. and they will come to marathon….. the small ghost sitting at the end of the table furthest away from the dark being whispers… but what about all the other video games out there? The dark being in the corner reaches over, plucks it out of the air and crushes it in its fist….. Meeting adjourned see you all on the next expansion now delayed until June 2030…
