Bungie took that solo Witness personally

[PopularNobody]

Lmao Cross cutting off the screen to purchase the weapon skin is hilarious

[GeremyG]

BOOB update is misleading since this patch is pretty ass.

[savagewalther]

Cross just cutting the screen to an intermission to buy the Microcosm ornament and shamefully denying it had me cackling til my stomach hurt

[TheShadowace]

the unlock sound on the ornament explanation was priceless

[flamingscar]

It's crazy that with a 33% nerf still hunt celestial will still be top special weapon DPS by a landslide and somehow people are saying this was unwarranted

[AV_of_SoCal]

Those 3 solo Witness players are the guardian fireteam in all trailers

[corruption___]

Dude that cutaway so he could buy the microcosm exotic had me dying. 😂

[TheFinkinator]

Did the math, it was originally 309k total without nighthawk. With nighthawk it was 473k. After the nerf. It went down to 317k. I might be wrong. So it still needs damage testing.

"Cross: ornaments do nothing"
As panama ravine cries in the corner

[elchancho]

Remember when Bungie said they can’t wait to see what players do with the damage and crazy perks?
I guess our reward for crazy gameplay are nerfs lmao
GG Bungie

Thats some serious bs with the Stillhunt nerfs. Especially the golden gun shot not doing the artifact dmg. This shit is still a sniper shot,

[JCD]

Mr. President, there's been a second nerf

[bickure]

I still quite enjoy how bungie said they reduced sniper flinch in PVE by 50% but feel likes it’s been increased by 150%
Quite enjoy it still flinching to the moon with a sniper when getting shot at in GMs

[andersbylund]

To me it sounds like 33% is to put it at the same damage that other classes does with still hunt (aka three shots) so the synergy with nighthawk is almost useless. You need to test if a hunter with nighthawk (1 shot) does the same damage as a hunter without nighthawk (3 shots)!

[gabrielgardner]

Still hunt was fine it was very good yes but I agree they saw people solo it and ruined it for the rest of us. It’s ridiculous that something like that can affect the entire game. Now lfg killing the witness will be even harder cuz that was the most reliable damage.

It may have been an outlier in the Mets but that doesn’t mean you butcher the gun. The reason it’s always the top pick is because the meta damage options on hunter and even other classes are terrible compared to still hunt celestial. Titans and warlocks have no reliable and consistent damage rotations for the witness. Warlock is definitely better off but it’s still near impossible to kill the witness without at least a couple celestial stillhunters. Nova messes the witness up every time I have a remate use it, chaos reach doesn’t work so the only halfway decent option is well or the new one. Titans have absolutely nothing the axes are pitiful thunder crash kills the titan and hammers is a waste of time. This nerf is just an artificial way to make the game harder for the rest of us because “you weren’t supposed to be able to solo the witness.” I understand wanting it to be the hardest raid but it still needs to be finishable and as it stands now it’s probably going to be extremely hard for lfg’s like myself to do it. Which makes finding a team that much harder because people stop carrying and start kicking. We are in year 10 bungie you’re supposed to know this by now. Guess it’s just a matter of time now.

[FaceJah]

Still Hunt will no longer one shot the Nessus Cabal lost sector boss as it did before the nerf. What Bungie should have done is have the Golden Gun shots available after each bar is filled up. For example, if you have two of the four bars completed then you have two shots with regular Golden Gun damage. However if you wait until all four bars are filled in no matter which character you are on then you have one powerful shot that does Celestial Nighthawk damage as it did before the nerf.

[ReelieBun]

It will never not be amazing how bungie nerfs like the flash, but buffs things at the speed of a weeping angel with the whole community watching it.

[charlesmcelroy]

Dang I was really hoping I wasn't gonna have to suffer through another Prismatic Hunters of Osiris this weekend 😅
