Table of Contents
Players are eagerly awaiting major changes in Destiny 2 this March, as Bungie will update Destiny 2 Ritual weapon rotation in Season of the Wish with new guns for Nightfall, Iron Banner, and Trials of Osiris. Today in TWID, the development team presented an incredible amount of weapon changes in PvE and PvP, which will take some time to digest until the update’s release.
Now, we’ll discuss no less significant ability changes, which will also greatly affect the game.
Strand Ability Changes
For your convenience, we’ll break everything down in order, starting with Strand. Let’s start with briefly describe the main changes point by point:
- The latest update significantly changes the Threaded Specter, which is commonly used in PvP by Hunters. The new patch imposes a penalty on the class ability regeneration of Threaded Specter, similar to Ensnaring Slam, triggered when a Guardian creates a Threaded Specter. However, the damage of this ability will be increased by 25% in PvE, and the penalty on class ability regeneration will be reduced by 50% for both aspects, making them more useful in PvE.
- Threadlings will also receive a nerf in PvP! Now, they’ll be easier to hit, and Strand-minions will do much less damage. By the way, Bungie finally fixed a bug when Threadlings did not explode one after another after destroying one of them.
- Warlock’s Arcane Needle will become much more useful, thanks to improvements with aim assist and tracking strength. Now, you will not have problems hitting a fast-moving target.
No more changes are currently planned for Strand, so Titans can continue to rejoice!
Solar Ability Changes
Despite the general popularity of Solar among all other Subclasses, Bungie decided to make important changes to improve it:
- Restoration and Radiant received important fixes, thanks to which buffs had incorrectly working durations, causing timers to reset.
- Due to the changes above, the fragments Ember of Empyrean and Mercy received significant changes, adjusting their function.
- Ember of Mercy extends or grants Restoration for a couple of seconds for each collected Firesprite. Ember of Solace gives you one more second if you equip it.
- Ember of Empyrean can now last 15 seconds instead of 12 and extends the effect depending on the enemy’s rank you defeated. Right now you get 4 seconds for killing any mob, but with the patch, you are going to receive fewer seconds for any mobs ranked lower than Elite, while for Champions and above, many more seconds.
- The Consecration aspect will receive a buff, resulting in an increased travel distance of the initial ground follow, and the slam ground follow will have a larger radius of effect, faster landing, and better travel distance.
- Self-damage from Gunpowder Gamble will be nearly halved (from 144 to 80).
Final Words
Yes, there were relatively few changes, but you have not yet seen what Destiny 2 PvP Changes will be in March, including Guardians HP and their abilities adjustments. And if you have seen them, we recommend preparing for serious battles by making a cool Hunter armor set in the style of Helldivers.
