I guess I kind of want to put in my two cents on this. I feel like it does need nerfed but nothing too major if anything just reduce the length of tracking. This exotic feels powerful because of how long the tracking works. Engaging someone with this exotic on is easy especially with Ace and a momento mori proc. Once you get vengeance it's a two headshot kill with ace (possibly a faster ttk than Luna's howl haven't timed it.) The major thing is you have such a long time to kill the marked target that it's easy to to do. Reducing the mark time makes it more of a mad dash to get the kill you need to proc it instead of being patient and finding a good time to strike or constant peeking. Before anyone says anything like "You're a warlock main" or "You're a hunter main" no honestly I don't main any class specifically I've put in a lot of time in all three classes. I've used most of the exotics from all three too. Hunters have Gwisin vest right now which is absolutely stupid considering spectral blades is pretty damn strong as it is and you get to practically extend it for a good majority of the match and chain kills. Warlocks don't really have an exotic per say that gives them a distinct advantage except maybe Chaos reach with Geomags even then iffy on whether I'd say that's broken in anything aside from gambit. One eyed doesn't buff your super but the class in general it gives you an overshield on kill of the marked target and the mark lasts roughly 15 seconds (From what I've timed in quickplay). Reducing this by half to 7 seconds would make it a lot less viable in the instance of marked kill rinse repeat because now you're rushing but still keeps this exotic at a pretty good strength. It'll feel good when you get the proc and be un-noticeable any other time. However if they don't nerf this exotic I do agree they should rework other exotics to bring them up to par. As for Warlocks having super strong abilities or exotics the only "strong" exotic I really see is the karnstein armlets and atomic breach combo long range melee plus a bonus explosive damage on top of health regen on kill pretty strong if you can use it correctly. Otherwise only good pvp centric warlock exotic imo is Ophidian Aspects basically giving all weapons quickdraw and snapshot sights plus faster reload but doesn't really buff the warlock just the weapons. In conclusion though I do believe One eyed deserves some kind of balancing just not the whole "nerf it to the ground" that everyone wants. It's strong currently because of the amount of use it's getting right now. Having an entire team of these in comp is absolute torture for the enemy team and being a person that's marked puts you constantly on edge about the possibility of getting shoulder charged or shotgun aped. It's a great exotic don't get me wrong I like the ideal behind it but it's currently up as an s-tier exotic with Gwisin Vest being it's only competitor in the tier list in my opinion. If anyone disagrees please make an intelligent argument as to why.

"...if you wan't Exotics to 'Feel' exotic then i believe One Eyed Mask is a perfect example of a powerful exotic that is in a perfect spot..." First of all, exotics aren't made to be powerful, they're made to be unique with perks you wouldn't find on any other gear. So wanting exotics to feel exotic (which I'm guessing is supposed to mean powerful to you because all exotics already have unique perks), then that point is invalid. Now obviously some exotics have powerful perks, but again, that isn't what exotics are supposed to be. Second, One Eyed Mask basically has two exotic perks. It has the ability of instant health (plus over shield) on a kill and wall hacks on someone who has damaged you. Sounds a little too powerful if you ask me. If they got rid of one perk, I'd be okay with it. Preferably the instant health regen because the fact that they get it on pretty much every kill they get is too much. Either way is fine I guess. They don't even have to get rid of either, though, I would just want them to change how the instant health regen happens. They are able to get it even while in super right now which in turn makes them even more powerful every time they pop one. I believe gaining it on a headshot would work. Makes it take more skill to use so that they can't go shotgun ape and get an over shield. Note: Just in case someone for some reason thinks I was saying titans are actually "hacking" with the wall hacks, I wasn't serious. I just call it that as a joke. I had to say this because I know there's gonna be someone out there who doesn't understand the joke. Also, before some titan main replies saying, "Titans have the short end of the stick. They have nothing good right now. Let us have something for once." Don't pull that. You have an item that gives you your super. All you have to do is hold up your shield for two seconds while someone fires a bit at you and you'll almost have it back all the way. You also have two supers that can one shot a super (most of the time). Thunder crash will one shot a super every time and fist of havoc has the ability to one shot a super with the first slam that comes out of using it. (It's happened to me, maybe that's been changed or my health was down a little bit, but I swear it has happened to me) There's more examples I could give you but I don't want to drag this out anymore than I have so I'll stop here. Thanks for reading through the entire thing.

I don’t think this should be nerfed we ask for things that make us feel powerful and this is one of them. This is what a extoic should be this is how an exotic I should feel. It is easy out playerable. All 3 class have really good exotics and super. I think more exotic should have this type of power. Don’t need thing just bring more exotic in line with this.

well it’s been a few months and it’s still just as broken. OEM has a cool down of 6 seconds post kill and unlike wormhusk which only gave health back, this gives any half assed player tracking (longer than foetracer), full health regen, and a VERY noticeable damage increase. On console it’s bad enough but when i switched to PC it got even better when paired with skating. I’ve never gotten the exotic myself but i have used it on a friends account numerous times and every time i do it feels like i’m cheating. And before anyone says anything about “you have to win gunfights” even if you get shot you can go behind cover, wait and regen, and not only do you know where they are but if they rush you, you have the advantage because you can prefire due to the tracking. After winning that easy fight you are awarded with full health, an overshield, and bonus damage for doing something that anybody that plays crucible should be able to do. Wait 6 second and the cycle starts all over again leading to any competent player being near unkillable.

[quote]I'm one of the lucky few to actually get this exotic and i believe its rare enough and requires much more skill than something like wormhusk, that it is perfect at the level it is, if you wan't Exotics to "Feel" Exotic then i believe One Eyed Mask is a perfect example of a powerful exotic that is in a perfect spot. :)[/quote] Agreed!

This exotic is a total joke, unbalance pvp to the bone... Need a nerf asap

I don't even think it's bad. I'm a warlock main so I see this and I take out a shotgun and a handheld super Nova. Honestly I think it's just fine.

100% agree, earlier in comp there was a titan rocking that, and I crushed him, because he didn't win 1v1s to get the shield

Everyone saying it takes more skill than wormhusk but you must be that bad if you can't get kills and go on streaks. If you aren't absolute trash it's broken

These types of posts draw even more attention to these exotics than actual nerf posts.

Nerfs need to stay as sandboxes for real. Pvp is the biggest contributor to nerfs. I play pvp a lot especially when content is dried out but don’t want to lose out on pve because I want a better crucible experience

buff it , give it 2 more i's
