Overview of Recent Changes

As the Season of Stasis unfolds in Destiny 2 with its captivating Revenant episode, players are eagerly experimenting with previously shelved gear. However, this exploration has led to unexpected gameplay disruptions.

Warlock Exotic Changes

One key item sparking controversy is the Warlock exotic gloves, Ballidorse Wrathweavers. These gloves were recently granted a buff, yet players quickly discovered a game-breaking exploit. The gloves, in conjunction with the tick damage from the Witherhoard, allowed players to unleash a devastating super attack capable of obliterating bosses in an instant. Videos showcasing this exploit began circulating widely after it was uncovered around November 20, prompting Bungie to act swiftly. The gloves have now been disabled indefinitely, leaving dedicated Wrathweaver builds in limbo.

Sentinel Shield Nerf

In a separate but equally significant development, Bungie has confirmed plans to nerf an excessively powerful super: the Sentinel Shield's melee attack, which has been inflicting disproportionate amounts of damage. While this fix is scheduled for mid-December, players can expect the damage to be reduced but still higher than originally intended.

Balancing Act

This situation highlights the fine line Bungie must tread between fixing game-breaking bugs and balancing powers effectively. While some players advocate for keeping the powerful super as is, such an approach could imbalance Titan builds and create a domino effect of power creep across the board. The anticipated nerf, though disappointing to some, aims to maintain a balanced playing field—ensuring that no single subclass dominates the game.

Conclusion

As the community braces for these adjustments, it’s a reminder of how quickly trends can shift in Destiny 2’s ever-evolving landscape. With new strategies and builds emerging, players are encouraged to adapt and enjoy the game's complexities while they last.
