I would like to start off by saying that what I am about to say is coming from a titan main who uses and abuses the Antaeus wards.
The exotic needs to be nerfed plain and simple. It is way too strong. Much like how the one eyed mask was and largely still is Titans poor prowess in PvP should be improved through class buffs not by giving us overpowered exotics.
Here are my ideas for the Antaeus wards that will keep them strong but knock them down a level.
1. The shield should only protect you in the front. Similar to the juggernaut shield from D1.
2. The boots should only block projectiles as stated in the description not all damage. Melees should be able to go through and many grenades and supers should as well.
3. As soon as the user starts shooting the shield should be cancelled.
4. No super energy should be granted for blocked projectiles.
5. Grenades and supers should not turn into your own when reflected, you should be able to take damage from them after they are reflected and your shield is gone.
I think if theses things were done The Antaeus wards would be more of a niche exotic and not something all titans have to wear.

1 ResponderAlso funny is the hate on streamers, who bring people in and keep the game attracting new players. Don't be jealous that they're good and savvy enough to make money playing the game and you aren't. It's a pretty stupid argument to bash some of the highest skill players for complaining about something that takes skill out of skill based combat. Its PLAYER VS. PLAYER.. skill should matter. This isn't competitive Animal Crossing...

2 RespostasYeesh, the responses here are pretty illogical. The exotic is an automatic win for a skilled player in just about any encounter. I don't know why everyone would want to play in a sandbox where eventually every Titan will be using this thing and Telesto to counter Titans using it. There needs to be counters.. saying "bring other exotics up" is stupid unless you wish to kill the best part of the game which is gunplay. I play warlock alot, and I frequently use Ophidian Aspects for their reliability and helpful handling and reload boosts. Under no circumstance would I want them to shield me 100% long enough to beat anybody I face one on one without a challenge, give me super energy, and allow me to take on supers head on and win easily. It would render supers pointless too. This is just like OEM early on. They are in a good place now. Balanced, still useful, but not OP like before. PvP is fast enough already. Stupid to ask for power creep.. 🙄

100% agree Nerf Hunters

5 RespostasYeah, lets just nerf everything. Brilliant.

2 RespostasEditado por Seoul: 4/21/2020 9:53:01 AM[u][b]Chronological Order of How a Nerf Happens in Destiny 2[/b][/u] • PVP Streamers whine about whatever the item that is giving them trouble to cope against. • YouTubers follow up from a streamer, or the streamer themselves make a video regarding the gear that they struggle against. • [i]This[/i] forum then follows up from both the above and basically repeats what both the above said. • Then it is constantly whined across a given season or 2 and Bungie eventually listens and[i] over[/i] does it. My prediction is that it will be nerfed if not the next season, the following season afterwards. The next big nerf will be peaking because [b]ALL OF A SUDDEN[/b] it has become a broken mechanic due to Trials. [b]P.S: Antaeus is balanced, your ideas are literally over kill. But because it works, then that's a problem I guess.[/b]

6 RespostasAnd once you twats get the nerf you want Dunemarchers will be next in the list.

2 RespostasAre you sure Anteus Wards are a Titan exotic? I thought it was for Hunters considering most of my deaths still come from sliding shotgun hunters crutching mindbenders. In all seriousness, these boots may need a slight nerf but they are not the biggest balance problems with PVP right now. You also have to realize these things are worthless in PvE so if they get nerfed too much they will not get used at all.
-
I use them when on my titan cause everyone uses them and I agree they need to be changed mainly the fact that the shield lasts longer then it should and I've seen people shoulder charge whole the shield was still up

5 RespostasThese forums: [i]WAAAAH, nerf this because it killed me![/i] Also these forums: [i]All Bungie does is nerf nerf nerf! We can never have any fun![/i]

As a Titan main I think this exotic needs to stop protecting if you shoot while sliding and a slightly and I really do mean slightly longer delay time. That’s it. I think if you take away it’s quality to protect and reflect back to what it was or even nearly to what it was then it will lose its appeal.

2 RespostasImagine needing Anteus Wards to get kills 😏 It's all about the Synthoceps 💪💪

8 RespostasThis exotic from year ago and no one complained and now it’s suddenly everyone complaining WTF?
-
No one has to wear anything If they are great exotic, fine, but these “good guy” posts aren’t helpful, what people seem to forget is that most exotics generally aren’t tweaked, they are absolutely murdered and made redundant Careful what you wish for, you may regret it
-
I love it when the cruci-wimps get triggerd by a good weapon. Now they are intimidated by a blocking exotic. LOL. This is great stuff. Keep it up boyz, it's hilarious (munching on popcorn).
-
7 RespostasWe go from complaining about a ranged exotic (one eye) to a close range (ward). Imagine that
-
5 RespostasBefore they were essentially useless, now that they're actually viable and do what they're intended to do you want it nerfed... classic casual player stance. stop crying for nerfs... Bungie needs to buff other exotics to be as fun and useful so that they can compete with good exotics, it's pretty simple and makes the game more fun with more variety instead of forcing people to use crutches and broken weapons and then have those same people start complaining

9 RespostasThat exotic is unfair, as OEM and others before. Who says the contrary lies or has no idea what's speaking about.
-
honestly i think the shield should be able to be broken and then has to cool down before another one can be used
-
5 RespostasDear Bungie, Just nerf everything. Or better - invalidate all Exotics in PvP. (Maybe PvE as well?) And all skills, melees etcetera etcetera. Just playing guns. Or throwing cotton-wool balls? How I hate all these nerf-buff discussions. I in fact main a Titan. And don't use OEM. Nor Antaeus. And still have fun. And even though some Warlock and Hunter Exotics/skills run onto my nerves in PvP I rather admit - good play, mate! when being killed - than asking for nerfs or buffs. It's not perfect yes. Do I get killed in PvP? Yes. Do I kill in PvP? Yes. That's it. A game. Sometimes I play better, sometimes another human being at the other end of a console/PC plays better. So what?

20 RespostasCool guy makes a video and more players coming out saying it needs a nerf lol sheep

1 ResponderFuk off with your nerf bullshit.
-
7 RespostasRiiiight... the uptick in people asking for Anteus Nerfs has nothing to do with the fact that a no life Youtuber uploaded a video about it... today. Yes this is your original idea, right? Just today. You woke up and it was your mission to post about Anteus, right? This is why this game is dying, btw.

1 ResponderYou cant be a titan main if you are complaining!
