Destiny 2 3.0.2.3 Patch Notes Introduce Large Nerfs To Stasis In Crucible

Destiny 2'south next large update has brought significant changes with information technology to Stasis abilities in the multiplayer Crucible mode, according to the latest patch notes. Long considered also powerful for PvP in comparing to other Guardian subclasses due to its power to completely freeze other players, developer Bungie'due south latest patch has a number of tweaks to the Hunter, Titan, and Warlock subclasses that are designed to stop Stasis from dominating in multiplayer.

For starters, the duration of all non-Super freezes confronting other players has been reduced to 1.35 seconds, Stasis irksome no longer reduces weapon accuracy, and the move speed punishment while slowed down has been reduced by 20%. 1 of the biggest general changes for all Stasis subclasses is that weapon damage against frozen players has been greatly reduced from l% to five%.

For specific Guardian classes, Titan Behemoths have slightly reduced impairment resistance when using Glacial Quake, Howl of the Storm has a narrower crystal-cosmos freezing radius, and Shiver Strike'south flight speed and altitude has been reduced as well.

Hunter Revenants can only freeze players for 1.5 seconds with Withering Bract, Winter'south Shroud will only tedious players downwardly for 1.5 seconds, and the freezing-projectile tracking strength of Winter's Wrath at present ramps downward to zippo after two seconds of flight. Warlock Shadebinders take surprisingly received the fewest adjustments, although that class was previously hit with other nerfs several months agone.

Warlocks favoring the Stasis class have reduced tracking and proximity detonation size when using Penumbral Nail, Iceflare Bolts at present only chains one time when spawned from a player shatter, and Coldsnap seeker no longer has increased movement speed or travel altitude. Y'all can read the total patch notes below, which too accept a few other sandbox changes listed.
