In Destiny, many Guardians are calling for a revision of the artifact “Skorris Memory.” Why is that?
Just about a week ago, Bungie’s live stream for update 2.5.0.2. This balance patch will adjust some weapons and focuses and bring changes that are currently not known. During the Twitch stream, however, the user chat was not only about weapons and Guardian classes: It repeatedly read: “Nerf Skorri”, “Fix Skorri”. Why is that?
By “Skorri,” the “Iron Lord” artifact Skorris Memory is meant. It has the ability: When your Super is full, the Super attacks of nearby allies charge faster.
Skorris Memory breaks Osiris
If you play Destiny solo, Skorris Memory brings you little. However, if you play in a group, it is excellent in PvE as well as PvP, as you can trigger your Supers more often, thereby gaining important advantages. If you also use equipment that buffs the Supers, you have an excellent artifact.
Especially the Trials of Osiris prove to be a game mode in which Skorri shines. The members of a fireteam are usually close to each other to avoid opening weaknesses. Many Trials players therefore camp with Skorris Memory, collect their Supers, and use them when the opponent approaches.
In the Trials, you can be sure that one of the opposing Guardians wears this artifact. On reddit, a Guardian compares the status of Skorri to that of the Gjallarhorn from year 1: The Gjallarhorn used to be essential in every situation, now it is Skorris Memory – at least in the Trials. Those who do not have it equipped are at a disadvantage.
Artifacts are being examined
Shortly after the launch of “Rise of Iron”, the strong advantages of Skorri were discovered. Already in October, some users wrote: Skorris Memory will surely be nerfed soon!
However, the months passed and no balance adjustments came. The weapon balancing also took forever to arrive. Only about 5 months later will it be released on February 14. But Skorries Memory remains unaffected. Update 2.5.0.2 brings no new changes here.
However, the community manager DeeJ indicated: The next content update will also address the sandbox. He revealed that this update may have an artifact patch in tow. It is expected to be released in spring. We will see if Skorri will be weakened then.
Is Skorris Memory always with you too?
