In Destiny 2, the largest nerf of the still young Stasis abilities has occurred. Now some players complain that Bungie went too far, while others even fear for PvE. MeinMMO wants to know how you see this in a survey.
What happened? The expansion Beyond Light brought the very first new element to Destiny: Stasis. The icy powers can slow down, freeze, and then shatter enemies. It quickly became clear that in PvP, Stasis was a nightmare that Bungie couldn’t really get under control for over six months.
On June 3rd, it happened: With Update 3.2.0.3, Bungie hit Stasis with the largest nerf hammer yet. The changes were extensive, and Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks received several adjustments. Additionally, general Stasis functionalities were weakened across the board.
Has the nerf hammer struck too hard?
This is what players are now discussing: The Guardians are currently actively discussing whether the hit with the nerf hammer was too harsh. Is Stasis now nerfed to death or finally in an acceptable state?
- Just before the nerf, the mood was euphoric, as Stasis terrorized many in PvP.
- Now, a few days after Update 3.2.0.3, some Guardians feel the nerfs are too drastic.
- Others believe that Stasis can now be a bit “underwhelming” after dominating the sandbox for over six months.
- For others, hardly anything has changed. Still, almost only Stasis classes are in matches.
Everyone who has rank and name in the crucible has, of course, directly conducted before-and-after analyses. The well-known PvP expert Aztecross compared Stasis for 45 minutes before and after the nerf:
How harsh were the nerfs?
- The general nerfs on freezing duration and slowing down are quite well received. After all, these were the two points of criticism that regularly drove Guardians up the wall. For half a year, it was noticeable that crowd control was fun in PvE but causes frustration in PvP.
- Some Guardians are now wondering if freezing is still worthwhile, or if one should rather use a directly deadly ability.
- The Colossus Titan was hit hardest: The Titan is now significantly weaker in terms of aggression, can take less damage, and is especially slower. Moreover, even the strongest aspects have undergone changes, leading to the Titan playing almost like a different class. Here, Guardians have the biggest concerns that Bungie overstepped the mark.
- The Hunter also had to sacrifice a lot of Stasis. But solely due to the strong Exotic Mask of Bakris, Revenants are still quite usable with Stasis, this is the consensus. Guardians mostly agree that the class is still doing very well in the neutral game. One must now place their glaciers well; the ice shurikens can no longer be thrown blindfolded, but everything still works. However, the super got hit hard and is no longer the deadly tornado that freezes and then shatters everything and everyone on the map.
- The Warlock received hardly any nerfs since it was the “unproblematic” Stasis class. However, the Warlock is still frustrated that freezing itself has been nerfed so significantly. As a Shadebinder, you have hardly any strong tools in PvP except for freezing. In the super, they are still just as strong as before and can hold their own against any other class. In the neutral game, however, they are not such a serious threat, players complain. Yet many Warlocks have preferred the upper Dawnblade or the Chaos Reach with the Geomag Stabilizers for PvP for quite a while.
So, you can see that individual aspects of the comprehensive changes can be problematic for some for good reason. But another annoyance has now arisen.
Are we now weaker in PvE just because Stasis was so bad in PvP?
This is why Guardians are complaining: On one hand, Guardians are discussing whether Bungie overstepped the mark with the Stasis nerfs in the crucible. On the other, reports are now coming in that the nerfs are also being felt negatively in PvE (via YouTube).
Criticism that PvE has to suffer from PvP (and of course vice versa) is as old as Destiny itself.
