Can a member of the bungie sandbox team explain the rationale for this balancing decision. I don't understand why an ability that tracks, bounces, has range and requires no commitment to cast plus has very strong cc effect, is also given similar damage to any normal melee. Maybe damage fall off should be put on all ranged melees or at the minimum require aiming not a bounce track around corners.
Imo if it is designed to be used in a duel remove bounce tracking . If you hit the melee like a throwing knife you will win the gun fight.
Or
If you want it to be utility, less damage with the tracking so it can't be used as a long range kill secure. We saw how fun ricochet hardlight was.
Appreciate all the conversation, can a dev weigh in on this? Want to actually have a idea of how you feel abilities fit into the sandbox.

5 RepliesYou need to realize that they have stasis overpowered for a reason, you know what that reason is???? So people are forced to buy the expansion. That is the only reason it is as powerful as it is. It just about money and that is it.

I'm at Titan and I have no problem with the hunters or the wall locks stasis even though it's more powerful in PvE then tighten ever will be for damage

I hate shurikens. They are absolutely busted. Its a smokebomb paired with a throwing knife on acids.

32 RepliesYoure upset about hunter melee? Have you seen the movement on the stasis titan? And now that their melee also has an AOE SLOW. Freakin aoe, they dont even have to hit you and you get slowed. Hunters cant dodge when they get slowed, but warlocks can still icarus and other titans can still build or melee back. Also their base melee is bugged if they have a charge, so it does more damage then it should. Titans also move so dang fast the servers cant keep up half the time. Dont get me started on behemoth and their damage resistance. You know Behemoth while sliding takes 90% less damage? 90! Oh and that new exotic for thundercrash, the overshield works for Behemoth super too. Titans are so busted right now its stupid, but youre complaining about Hunter shuriken.

11 RepliesOR We nerf all stasis subclasses and abilities to the ground. Problem solved and makes most of the community happy

It should work like celestial fire. You’re lucky enough to get the 3 bursts it the player is just stationary . That being said, one hunter disc should do 60 dmg instead of 90. It shouldn’t be that high since it causes a slow then freeze effect..

1 ReplyNone of stasis should be getting buffed. It should all be getting nerfed. It’s entirely too strong and in most cases broken.

thetallfrosty You make some valid points and I agree that ever verse should be removed from this game. But Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let’s get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta’aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

1 ReplyAll the downvotes from hunters protecting their crutch is laughable. Slow is way more toxic than being frozen and the fact the every Shadebinder can most likely lead their one on one with a slowing throwing star is dumb af

Edited by cycofreak3: 2/19/2021 10:09:47 AMSo let me get this straight. Hunters and titans used excessively in PvP or at least their stasis classes are, so they're buffed. Meanwhile the "overused" swords are nerfed in PvE... Mkay.

What is a stasis?

It's a game, don't be so serious about it. Maybe?

Edited by Gabriel LR7: 2/19/2021 6:52:05 AMRevenant as a whole is probably the best and by circumstance the most broken class in the game. In the crucible it has easily the best ability up keep of all the classes. If it were to be actually balanced it would probably be hit with a sledge hammer of a nerf bat.

4 RepliesThe people moaning about warlock nerfs are the same people who insist that Bungie uses “data” to guide their nerfs on hunters.

Honestly the melee could do 0 damage and still be fantastic. 90 is just overkill, and should be cut by half.
-
Your right 90 damage is wack. It should do at least 3-4 times that amount. When I hit people I still have to shoot them. When I throw shuriken at people on the street they usually go down In one hit. My shuriken are normal where as guardians have light powers. It goes without saying they need a buff or I’m not a ninja.
