Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Destiny 2 Bungie Destiny 2 is planning a pretty big overhaul for next season’s ability sandbox. They’re done doing 3. 0 upgrades, so now it’s time to start balancing the 3.

0 subclasses they’ve already released, in addition to circling back around and giving Stasis another look. There are a lot of nerfs and buffs coming , mostly nerfs on the PvP side and buffs on the PvE side, and I figured I’d compile them in each column so you can see what’s coming: Destiny 2 Bungie NERFS Solar (All Classes) Restoration – Restoration x1 reduced from 25 to 20 health a second in PvP and from 50 to 40 in PvE. Restoration x2 reduced from 40 to 32.

5 health a second in PvP and from 80 to 65 in PvE. Doesn’t stack with Rift Healing anymore and one overrides the other. Ember of Torches – Radiant duration reduced from 10 to 8 seconds, now has -10 Discipline penalty Ember of Solace – Now a 50% bonus to Radiant duration instead of just 5 more seconds.

No more bonus 15% damage resistance to Marksman Golden Gun Blade Barrage – When using Knock ‘Em Down, reduce knife total from 20 down from 24. Arc (Titan) Storm Grenade – The Touch of Thunder version now roams for 4 seconds, down from 5.

Spark of Magnitude now adds 1. 5 seconds down from 2 seconds. This is likely not enough to really hurt Heart of Inmost Light builds in PvE.

Destiny 2 Bungie BUFFS Solar (Warlock) Celestial Fire – Will now do 100 damage at close range instead of 90, meaning you aren’t disadvantaged against other players in PvP if you don’t unbind charge melee. Void (All Classes) Overshield – Apparently there has been a bug literally this entire time where void Overshields were providing 25% damage resistance in PvE when it was supposed to be 50%. That’s getting fixed.

Void (Warlock) Nova Bomb – Increased projectile speed by 21%, increased radius and strength of inward pull on impact by 17% and 20% respectively Void (Titan) Shield Bash – Improve reliability of applying suppression which was a problem in PvP on fast-moving targets. Void (Hunter) Shadowshot – Increased tether lifespan from 8 seconds to 12 seconds on Deadfall, but reduced it on Mobius Quiver from 8 seconds to 6 seconds. Arc (Titan) Ballistic Slam – Increase damage in PvE by 16% Arc (Hunter) Tempest Strike – Increased damage in PvE by 30% Arc (Warlock) Arc Soul – Increased PvE base damage from 35 to 60 Ball Lighting – Increased travel range from 27.

5 to 35 meters Chain Lightning – Increased damage in PvE by 50% Chaos Reach – Reduced base cooldown time from 9:16 to 7:35. Sadly no damage buff, which is what this really needs, not more uptime. And restore Geomags topping it off! Destiny 2 Bungie Stasis (All Classes) Slow – Increased slow movement penalty by 10% Coldsnap Grenade – Seeker can now adjust 0.

5 seconds after creation, helping with better enemy tracking Duskfield Grenade – Slow stack rate in PvP increased by 13% Whisper of Rending – Now gives bonus to stasis crystals and frozen targets to any primary ammo weapon, not just kinetic ones, dramatically expanding its use. Stasis (Hunter) Winter’s Shroud – Aspect now has 2 fragment slots, up from 1 Stasis (Titan) Cryoclasm – Aspect now has 2 fragment slots, up from 1 Stasis (Warlock) Glacial Harvest – Reduced cooldown on shard creation from 15 seconds to 10 seconds Big, big changes, most of them buffs, and I love them. Looking forward to playing with all this in a month.
