But if you do decide to nerf them no matter what i or the 30 other tank mains in this game have to say, then at least consider only removing the Restoration effect and nothing else. Now hear me out, while a lot of my fellow tank mains will argue that Strongholds losing Restoration will completely cripple the exotic, i would argue from an RPG perspective, that Strongholds is attempting to fill one too many roles at the same time. All one has to do to be nearly immortal with Strongholds is hold down a single button until you build up enough charge, then swing once at an enemy that can take damage to grant one of the most powerful healing effects in the entire game for up to 15 seconds. My hot take is that Strongholds only needs to be great at tanking a lot of damage, and it already does that with maxed defensive stats, Resist X4, and Infinite Guard while guarding with all swords. So from my perspective, if users of this exotic (including myself) want/need healing on top of that, it should come externally from other sources like Devour, Overshield, an ally using a Support Frame weapon, etc. Also, i would like to point this out now, but the Restoration effect of Strongholds isn't working very well with the new Praxic Blade. Since reflected damage is counting as hitting a target when the charge is being built up while blocking damage. This means that unless you're actively aiming away from enemies while deflecting shots, you won't be able to build up your 15 seconds of near immortality. As for fixing this, i only see two real options. Either make it so reflected shots from Praxic Blade don't trigger the Restoration effect on Strongholds. Or just remove Restoration from Strongholds altogether. And if i could ask for any kind of buff to Strongholds in exchange, it would be to taunt enemies in some form or another while blocking, similar to how Barricades and Sentinel Shield's guard works at drawing in enemy fire. And that's all I've got to say. You can all start complaining now, assuming you haven't started sometime prior.
