The Final Shape Balance Changes Are Game Changing 

rip to the cascade/Deconstruct edge transit I was thinking about farming for lol

Divinity, kinetic and lament nerfs are absolutely idiotic, eriana, deterministic and queensbreaker's changes won't make any difference (they have much bigger problems), cerberus change is useless. Colony and the primaries' buffs are nice at least, but until i keep needing to hit 2 bow headshots to kill one dreg and 3 headshots to kill a redbar vandal in a GM i'll just keep using exotic primaries, i don't want carpal tunnel syndrome lmao.

Nothing mentioned about the interation between envious and cascade yet, so I'm still edging my "copium roll" transit

the divinity nerf is so weird. i assume it’ll have something to do with the day one raid, because the weapon is rarely used in any activity

Glad rocket sidearms are not touched. Don’t know why the nerfed Deconstruct. Just silly.

bro they couldn't even let 1k get that 7% buff...also pretty sure mountain top is getting an indirect 15% damage nerf, didn't see any special GL changes and the kinetic nerf will most likely effect it...GREAT!

i would have rather they just nerfed divinities debuff again or something instead of making the gun more annoying to use

It is pretty amusing that they said they we redesigning Deterministic Chaos to make it a "...weakening powerhouse" while just brutally nerfing the weakening part of weapon. Just make volatile explosions pull ammo into the mag from reserves then it'll be maybe cool..? idk. Just discovered your channel and I'm loving the educational content and commentary, keep it up man :)

Div pretty much is only used on Ir Yut, Rhulk and MAYBE Atheon, the nerf is weird but Div as a whole shouldn't have ever been a thing to begin with

That wasnt the twab, the twab is on Thursdays that was just a dev blog

It’s so over

7:00 it does say for example 2 lines up

div nerf is a L, it's a raid associated exotic it should be powerful, it sucks that such a cool idea is so deep in the ground now lol

i hate that they nerfed deconstruct. My completely fine deconstruct eye of sol is gonna feel bad now...

I think a lot of these nerfs are more targeted to the lower skill bracket of players. Add clear seems to be getting targeted with these nerfs which tends to be more of a challenge for lower end players. After this, the people who could just throw on an exotic primary like sunshot or a gun like forbearance and kill everything almost instantly might have to think a bit more. The div change is definitely weird but likely for that same reason. It’s intended to force more casual players to actually hit crits. As he mentioned, it’s not really good, but when it comes to casual players, even if they use best in slot combos, they don’t necessarily have the skill to kill the boss in less phases. So the Div nerf is intended to encourage them to move into harder loadouts (maybe I’m smoking crack but I can’t think of any other reason they would nerf it) It’s also worth noting that some of the weapons that are considered useless and never used from an end game perspective, are not considered useless from a more casual pve perspective. I’ve constantly seen some of the most braindead weapons used constantly in lower end pve.

In other news, what fourth column trait would you recommend on a STL Retraced Path: Frenzy or Demo?

Considering the change to kinetic weapons, would you suggest continuing using Imperial Decree, or look at energy alternatives for an Aggressive Trench Barrel shotgun?

Bring the noise gate threshold down, it keeps cutting you off.

its not the TWID its just a dev blog about the upcoming sandbox changes. TWID will be out tomorrow

BUFF TARABAH

heritage buff

Bungo cooked and disappointed, is bungie trying to make us go through all stages of grief all at once lol.

Today is Wednesday, not TWAB/TWID

First.

I’ve never heard someone complain so much about “weapons that nobody uses.” If nobody uses it, who cares? Smh

Not sure why Bungie hates their player base? They make unnecessary nerfs constantly. I guess they need job security.
