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.

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.
