Holy cow bungie killed them
Sniper inventory reduced by 5-7 shots. That's freaking huge!
Let's talk math(exciting I know lol)
If I have 23 rounds max on my stillpiercer, with boots on and all.
For simplicity sake let's say to a pve boss I do a flat 1000 per hit.
23x1000=23000
Now with hit to ammo lets use avg and say 6 rounds removed
18
17x1000=17000
That is a 26% reduction in potential damage (over a quarter)
That's horrible, and a bad call please bump and comment maybe someone will see this
Edit, I have never trended before so thanks to all
Edit 2, near 1500 replies thanks I've never had over 20 before lol so thanks to all and be careful out there in the update

5 RepliesWhat they shoud do since they its hard to balance pve/pvp together is lower the synth time on special ammo.

I agree with you, and I hate it too, but one positive thing to look at is that the titan glasshouse exotic is coming back, so weapons of light will last longer, so that could possibly even it out to where we're doing the same overall dps because we'll be getting more damage per shot longer.

1 ReplyMy guess is it's for the upcoming PoE update they don't want people melting Skolas with snipers or the math works out it need a nerf.

special is special see you guys in 6 months for the next balancing it'll only take 4 more to get close guys we promise and we totally wont -blam!- with pve at all we swear on our souls

And the stupid part about it is just this, in pvp 7 bullets is more than enough for the skilled snipers. Hell a round can be won in trials with 4! It will not affect sniping in pvp much if at all. I know your sitting there saying "omg my 2 extra frames!!" Bit consider this, res takes longer now and no more sprint res! So that means snipers have more time to line up them headshots!

You know, I get sniped a decent amount in PvP, but it is nothing crazy. You have that tell tale red gleam to give you the heads up & if you have learned how to quickscope, then by the power of cheese, you have earned it(nope, I can't do it). Y1, I used Icebreaker a lot, but that was mainly due to the ammo regeneration, since I was on the PS3 & to get into my inventory for reserve ammo would only take 2-3 years (as a matter of fact, I think I am still loading up my inventory screen against the Archon Priest.) I would typically switch over to my LDR-5001 when I needed to make critical shots, because I found it to be a far superior sniper rifle than Icebreaker. Hell, if it was not for my sniper rifle, I would probably have not even bothered trying to solo missions with my Hunter. I still remember my first time in VoG. My buddy wanted to get us experienced with the oracles before we did a full run that weekend. He knew I could snipe, so he convinced everyone to let me stay on the ledge. My instructions where simple, kill every hobgoblin before they can hurt us down below, then swap to your scout & cover us until the hobs re-spawn. I did it & I also helped take out the oracles, after it was explained to me that they were the glowing boxes & not a certain enemy that I was looking for, lol. (I did not know that you could prep yourself with YouTube videos back then, I am old & we did not have that marvelous youtube back in the day, lol). So all told, I agree, this was a stupid move. For a company that does seem to listen to its players, they sure do seem to listen to the wrong ones.

4 RepliesWarpriest challenge mode without a full team of Spindles will be tough.. Inb4 must have spindle because of ammo and dps drop.

4 RepliesIncredibly dumb move imo. Ammo cap wasn't even a problem in crucible.

PvE is too easy for this to even matter. They wanted primaries ran more often since %60 of all weapon kills are from specials. It's not a big deal.

1 ReplyVery true, there are times when you can let loose all 23 shots of a sniper during boss fights.
