I still use shards of galanor. Getting some degree of super back is still better than nothing. Other exotics weren't buffed enough to make me wanna use them, and some other ones were comoletely ignored. The exotics in general need a overhaul bad, they took all the power fantacy away we might as well just use legendaries instead

Uh, where my Quiver mains at. That didn’t get touched and is lowkey better for crowd control. Plus the boss DPS with the extra damage perk to tethered enemies is amazing. God forbid you have to wait five minutes (or less) to get your super back.

They is leaving my stomps alone and ya boi happy

God forbid you actually have to be skillful with tethers now. No fun just to get your super back for nothing

To be fair, these exotics overshadowed entire subclasses simply because they could be spammed more often. Who needs thundercrash when I can just block some damage and instantly get my super back. Who needs stormcaller or dawnblade when nova bomb wipes everything, gets it's entire super back, and also generates orbs the easiest and fastest. Who needs arc staff, golden gun, or spectral blades (not that you need spectral) when tether makes enemies completely unable to hurt you, grants back full super, makes them take bonus damage, and lasts while being radial. The ideology behind the nerfs pisses so many people off...but unless you gave every single subclass or skill tree an exotic like those, you weren't going to use them. This is apparent in pretty much every single activity. They can't just keep buffing every other super that doesn't have those exotics and honestly most of them don't even need buffs. They broke the meta, diversity, and difficulty all at once because they were TOO good. To be absolutely clear, I'm not saying the amount of the nerf they got is justified, just the reasoning behind it. It doesn't matter how fun or how much of a "power fantasy" it gave if literally nothing else could have it because of these exotics. I still see people run these load outs even AFTER the nerf because any super is still better than nothing. The closer we get to spammable unstoppable supers, the more broken it becomes and quite honestly, as someone who didn't use these things nor want to...the difficulty shifted too much against me and the enjoyment using something else dissipated. It was either spam or waste your time/lose. That isn't fun.

They are still op

To make it worse, I got a pair of Rigs drop today. Felt like I was being trolled

Yeah they are pretty useless now . But that’s ok there’s other exotics to be used

Good. Nightstalkers are a blight. Go Gunslinger or don’t go at all.

Thank you Bungie. It's a bitter pill to swallow right now but it will be better for the game in the long run. It was making most everything easy mode
