The damage values for both PvE and PvP are just plain off. It isn’t doing enough damage in either scenario. Now before people start saying “it’s not bugged, the detonation deals more damage.” Yes I know this but the arrow is just as good as the detonation for dmg. the new changes in pve for damage are still doing less than intended. [quote]Damage changed to be more of an
even split between impact and
detonation, and increased damage
across the board by ~50%.[/quote] this is directly from bungies twab and atm it’s only doing about 25% more damage overall in pve.
In PvP it just got a straight 50% damage nerf. Specifically the arrow does 40-50% less damage( now 160-193 was 300) depending on resilience. The detonation now does just 1 tick 50 damage instead of the old 2 ticks of 50. The arrow will barely kill normal guardians. If they got an overshield it won’t kill to the body. It now CANNOT kill supers, Even with a headshot + the detonation. Compared to all the other precision heavies, they all kill supers with headshots, and some with body shots. Also they get more ammo than levis. Bungie never said they were going to nerf it only buff, so it needs to be looked at in the least.
TLDR: damage values need to be looked at.
