Hi, I wanted to voice my opinion and gather feedback on the recent proposed changes to Divinity. If you aren't aware, the changes made in this update buffed the weaken effect from 25% to 30%, however with the stipulation that the ability to stack with other weaken effects will be removed as per [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48391[/url]. The way Divinity works, if you didn't know is that the bubble it makes around a target has a 1.5x crit multiplier. This is essentially a standard crit which can proc perks like Whisper's White Nail but doesn't allow guns such as rocket launchers to crit, like some people think. The reason for this is that Divinity also applies a 25% weaken effect to enemies under its effect, giving you those yellow numbers. This weaken actually stacks with other sources of weaken, such as the Oppresive Darkness grenade mod. This is unique to Divinity as traditionally only the strongest weaken effect is applied to an enemy at one time. Personally, I think the way it was before was great. It is a raid exotic after all and does require some effort. I don't think it was overpowered but rather adds a greatly appreciated level of coordination and teamwork to a squad. You are purposefully giving up your own DPS (compared to what you would deal with Izanagi's Burden for example) in order to buff your teams overall damage output. This gun has breathed life into the support playstyle which simply great, especially due to the fact that previous support exotics have not seen high usage rates. Lumina is interesting but its buff doesn't stack with Ward of Dawn (which is tied at 35% buff) or any other sources of team wide buffs, making it essentially useless in the place it should be needed most: DPS. Divinity is worth the exotic slot but it doesn't completely eliminate bosses by itself. I personally think, bug or not, that it should stay the way it was. What do you think?
