So nerf hunters?

No...buff fusion rifles.

Heathen

Fusions are being buffed in 2 days. So are swords. Lets hope merciless will be worth using over EP shotty ..... Otherwise we will have another bungie fail.

Its a 4 year old joke.. sorry dude

I know. I am just saying....bungie didnt obey the joke.

Lethal Current's always been 5 seconds for the entirety of this game's lifespan. Here's footage from both the beta and the full release(pre-Forsaken) that prove otherwise. Beta: https://youtu.be/l2Kf53bggTw (skip to 4:08) Pre-Forsaken: https://youtu.be/6bhF21-LBqw (skip to 4:23) Moving past that, it's not really sensical to compare the two. One works for the entire subclass(though doesn't buff it by much) while the other only works in Super, and guarantees you killing an enemy Super. The latter being Lethal Current, provided you're within range and the hit(s) register in time. To me, it'd make more sense to compare Roaring Flames and Combination Blow. They both provide flat bonuses to your ability damage, and can be chained/reprocced constantly via charged melees. As well as being active far more often in your overall gameplay.

I have had 10 seconds of lethal current when doing Spire of stars boss for at least 3 months.

Unless you have footage, or are unaware of some glitch/button combo you're causing, that's impossible. Here's footage of someone else using Arcstrider with Way of the Warrior on Val Ca'our. Skip to 0:18. They activate their Super, dodge before starting DPS, and Lethal Current is active in the middle of the buffs for 5 seconds. https://youtu.be/T43_cN1gycY Maybe you just have a different copy of the game or something, because this is how it's always worked for everyone else.

You do know you have to stack roaring flames right? You’ll spend most of the time chasing your hammer down praying it’s doesn’t explode as soon as you get to it

It explodes after 10 seconds. Enough time to get it.
