People have builds than can cause ignitions back to back on certain bosses like Raenicks unified so bungie in their anti fun mentality decided to apply a damage resistance to bosses when ignitions happen rapidly. They messed up and applied the patch to ALL bosses in the game effectively killing ignitions until they fix it. I would not be surprised if they plan on doing the same thing to shatter damage after the season ends. (Imo this should not even be a thing because players build into the rapid ignitions, so of course they should be rewarded with a lot of ignitions not punished. Moves like this kill build crafting idc if it’s applied to only 1 boss it still should not be a thing heck we can’t even use tether in vesper because of Raeniks lol)

Bosses gain escalating resist against ignitions up to around ~97% if they're done too quick. Theres around a 5 second window before the resist is removed, so doing 1 ignition then another back to back will ramp up resist but doing 1 waiting until the resist window ends and then doing another will be fine. Heres the Destiny2Team post about it: [quote]We have discovered a missed patch note for Destiny 2 Update 8.1.0 regarding ignition damage versus bosses. After an initial ignition, bosses now gain progressively higher damage resistance to ignitions that occur over a short amount of time (five seconds of DR from last ignition to take place). We have identified an issue where these subsequent ignitions are doing far less damage than intended. We are planning to tune this damage resistance appropriately, and for it to only apply to the Vesper's Host dungeon boss Raneiks Unified, rather than it being game-wide. We are planning to address these issues in Update 8.1.5, planned for Mid-November. Please stay tuned for more details.[/quote] https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1g9r7fi/re_ignition_damage_vs_bosses/

Yeah it pretty much makes weapons like dragons breath obsolete

Translation: [quote] We found that ignitions were working as intended, but we really hadn't been paying attention and realised that it was making a single encounter on one of our least played activities easier than it should be so decided to punish everyone for our incompetence. This would have been dealt with sooner, however we also found out from the same activity that we don't know how to code RNG either. We plan to address these once we find someone who has a greater knowledge of code than just making the 'SUM' function in Excel work and it's scheduled for sometime between 'never' and the next Blue Moon. Until then, -blam!- you all, love Bungo[/quote]

Missed patch note my a$$. This is nowhere near the most shady thing they've done this episode. Even if it really was "missed", this has already been the most bug-filled episode/season so far hands down, they can't even get patch notes right lol

They labeled it as “missed” because they got caught because the nerf got applied to every boss in the game. They were hoping it would be a shadow nerf to only raeniks.
