Stop nerfing Arc Hunter because of Prismatic

Arc Hunter has always just been decent, never op, but with all these nerfs it's getting hit with, because of Prismatic, it's gonna end up closer to the dumpster level of the rest of the neglected Arc subclass. If you're going to nerf things because of Prismatic (which admittedly does need nerfs), then make it specific to Prismatic, don't nerf the other weaker subclasses just because Prismatic is op. Edit: To be clear, I'm talking about all the Combination Blow nerfs Bungie has been throwing out in recent patches. The Storm's Edge nerfs make perfect sense, even on Arc, because it was such a problem in PvP.

    Nightstalker also, they nerfed stylish executioner and knucklehead radar nerf too. Too many nerfs just because of Prismatic. That and smoke bomb got nerfed recently too.

      Combination wasn’t even that much of a problem on prismatic. Wasn’t really causing any problems in PvP, since people were using smoke or threaded spike there. It wasn’t causing any problems in PvE either. Hell the already nerfed the healing because according to them “it’s about big damage, not healing”. So why nerfed the damage? Such an unnecessary nerf, for prismatic and especially for Arcstrider.

    • While storms edge definitely warranted a nerf across the board, I don’t understand the combination blow nerf.

      • Prismatic was a step into powerfantasy that bungie didn't think through. It would have been fine if that was it for D2 and they were working on D3. Unfortunately if you want live service like destiny, you can't have powerfantasy like prismatic without basically breaking your game

            Storms Edge was pretty op in pvp, if you want something fun and strong, use Arc Staff

              • Even then it's not even broken on prismatic. Combination blow is still only usable solo but it's still risky as hell to do. It didn't need a nerf AT ALL. ESPECIALLY with consecration in the game.

                • They really -blam!- on one of the fun Hunter elements to play? They won't rest until nothing in this dumpster fire is fun anymore.

                • That’s what happened when people cried about prismatic... unfortunately.

                  • When bungie revamped arc into arc 3.0, they really needed to get rid of combination blow. Melee builds to that extent should never be as strong as they have been allowed to be. Combination blow, titan throwing hammer, the strand titan melee builds from a few seasons ago, they were all comically overtuned and needed to be gutted. What would help arc hunter out a bunch is letting tempest strike be a normal melee instead of an aspect, then buffing grenades. Arc in general needs their fragments revamped too since they launched in such a poor state. Point contact brace on titans is proof that with the right combination of things, arc can be very fun and enjoyable, but the right combination is very tricky to achieve right now with the current state of arc 3.0.

                      • 100% agree, this is about grapple melee... both in PvE & PvP... so target grapple melee.

                      • Imo they need to open up the fragment slots for all light subclasses
