There’s a lot of info in this post and stat changes. I’m just going to summarize the main stuff here.

TL;DR:

• Boss Spec, Major Spec, and Minor Spec are gone. Damage buffs to compensate.
• Exotic primary Damage buff down 10%
• Big List of damage buffs
• Exotics with splash damage have their splash damage reduced
• Lots of gun and archetype specific changes.
  • Wave frame GLs are getting their wave length reduced and the width and length of the wave will be affected by the blast radius stat.
• Exotic Nerfs:
  • Divinity
    • Number of shots needed to make the bubble increased by 75% (RIP)
  • Ostio Striga
    • 4 second cooldown between poison explosions
  • Lament
    • Healing reduced by 20%. High end of damage combo reduced by 20%
• There’s a bunch of exotic buffs. None of which seem to exciting. Definitely not enough to make up for the nerfs above.
• Perk Changes
  • Lots of changes. Eddy Current gets a needed buff.
  • Chain reaction explosion radius reduced 15% and damage reduced 20% on Special weapons. Heavy weapons do 30% more damage on explosions.

Some opinions:

• Bungie really doesn’t want us to have add clear huh?
• Forebearance gets a deserved kick in the teeth but now other waveframe GLs suffer. The issue was chain reaction. Not how big and far the wave was.
• Some completely unwarranted Exotic nerfs except maybe Ostio Striga.
  • Divinity really isn’t needed in non-master content except maybe on Rhulk. Increasing the ammo it takes to trigger the effect while not increasing reserves effectively kills this gun. This also makes Cenotaph less useful.
  • Lament is also only the “meta” pick in like 2 raid encounters. Crota and Atraks. It’s useful in some dungeon bosses but not REQUIRED.
  • Ostio is a braindead add clear exotic but 4 seconds between explosions is too much. This reminds me of the 3 second cooldown on Titan hammer throws which will make the gun just feel lackluster.
• The Exotic buffs aren’t moving the needle for me except maybe Symmetry and Necrochasm. Making a gun do slightly more damage just isn’t enough anymore. You’ve got to make it have interesting interactions with the rest of the sandbox.
