Bungie - nerfs strong super-regen Exotics but also buffs Bombadiers, Promethium Spur, Precious Scars, The Stag and other useless items

Ok but the verity brow change is an extreme nerf. My question is in what world was verity brow a problem? I literally never see it.
-
It's a buff and a nerf. It's a popular choice in GMs because of the high uptime it allows on Bleak Watcher turrets, which don't actually do much damage (so the % damage up from the Exotic is wasted on them). This change makes it much harder to use on Shadebinder but increases the benefit on Light subclasses.
-
That change still doesn't make sense as eye of another world lets you permanently keep a turret up already. So nerfing something because some people used them in gms is a dumb excuse no offense lol. Everyone ive ever seen uses eye of another world
-
I personally hate Eye of Another World, it is a supremely boring item. For the purpose of GMs specifically, I think they're both inferior to Aeon Soul, and Verity's Brow than Eye of Another World is far superior for pretty much everything else.
-
Eye of another world is fantastic on stasis i think verity in normal content would be better but in gms youre not killing enemies fast enough to keep up the buffs

Buff unused gear to a more relevant place isn’t a bad thing. Super regen gear was a bit oppressive in the exotic slot fight. But the nerf to that grenade warlock helm seems really weird. Now to use it with stasis you need a stasis energy basically primary with demo on it and I’d be willing to bet my left but we ain’t getting a fleshed out list of stasis options
-
They did say that season 15 will add legendary stasis weapons. Sure there may not be a ton like we have for solar/arc/void, but it's a start. If more weapons are added every season eventually the options will be just as plentiful and I'd assume we'll get elemental weapons for new subclass elements in the future the same season the subclass is released. It'll be a slow start but Stasis will catch up. In terms of actual utility, we'll have to see how it is in practice, until then I reserve judgement.
-
I think for god roll hunters less than average players sanity, having to have a god roll for every archetype of weapon might be a bit much when we have 5 subclass elements this time next year. Perhaps a system where we can change a weapons element between 2 so we need fewer guns long term. I love stochastic variable and it’s rolls are nuts for ad clear but if I want a solar option even the goddliest god rolled death adder isn’t even close in power and I bet the stasis option if it ever exists won’t be either
-
Only thing I can think of is a primary with Demo and Osmosis. But I'm pretty sure they are in the same perk tree or don't roll together at all.
