I always thought adding a sub that invalidates the other 5 on Hunter, and most others on Warlock and Titan as well, was not a good idea long term and they were gonna have to reel it back. The way they're doing it makes no sense though. Other subs, some that are not even used much at all, are catching nerfs because of Prismatic.
Best example of this is Combination Blow. Honestly, the nerf makes sense on Prismatic. It's too safe on Prismatic, mainly because of Winter's Shroud combination with it. An aspect that Arc Hunter doesn't have. Now Arc Hunter, a sub people already don't use in PvE, is losing some survivability just to bring down Prismatic a bit. Except it won't even do that because Prismatic still has Winter's Shroud and a fragment that starts health regen on melee kill anyway. This nerf is probably gonna be hardest on Arc.
It's still not a huge nerf but I just hate the concept that other weaker subs are gonna keep catching nerfs through no fault of their own. Isn't it possible to nerf these abilities on Prismatic only and leave the stronger versions on their respective subs? It would make up for the fact that these subs don't get the same busted combinations, and maybe give them a reason to still be used.

Rotation of meta. From day one bungie has had a “good and bad” with every element of the game. It means they can play around and lift up and weaken elements of the game and weapons to give new things to do and grind for etc.And provide new content for creators. Never any balance and you should not hold on to this as the evidence tells you not to. Just enjoy the ride as they do what they want. My opinion anyway.

Edited by Spectra: 10/6/2024 5:44:38 PMArc is probably the subclass that was most affected by Prismatic. There’s almost no reason to use it over Prismatic as it does the same thing but better. In part, because arc was the most neglected subclass during the 2.0 upgrades.

Edited by TeWrecks: 10/8/2024 12:20:45 PMThey should fine tune prismatic supers and abilities on it and not the 3.0 versions

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Prismatic was a mistake from day 1, and it’s pushing almost everything else out of the meta. They need to seriously nerf it down to the same level as Prismatic Titan, so that all the other subclasses they put so much effort into creating and balancing in the past will actually still have a place in the game.

Prismatic needs to be NUKED in PvP. It should give half the benefit of the subclass it comes from. And the fact you get a mini super with transcending......your super should burn faster.

The only weak sub here is you. Sorry, didn’t read the post, just wanted to make a funny.

What was the nerf? I can't find the notes on it.
-
Yeah exactly, look at arc Titan in PvP. They nerfed knockout on arc Titan only to give UN NERFED knockout to pris Titan. THIS IS LITERALLY SO STUPID, WHAT TYPE OF DUMB AHH DESIGN CHOICE IS THAT.

Bungie has no clue how to balance its own game. Overarching balance changes affecting PvE and PvP or now prismatic and the normal sub classes will always be a problem with this developer.

100% agree. I don't understand Bungie's logic at all.
