In this video I talk about the most important surprise/missed sandbox change coming in Destiny 2 Beyond Light – a nerf to the hunter dodge cooldown! I discuss why this nerf is happening, and discuss it in relation to the infamous warlock icarus dash headed into Destiny 2 Beyond Light.

  1. Hunter nerf is logically sound in my opinion. Icarus Dash is inevitably going to get nerfed, but I predict we aren't seeing that now because its a much more difficult change to make. Hopefully Stasis will slow the Warlocks down.

  2. Personally hunter dodge is way more useful than either a barricade or a rift and is on a 6th of the cool down timer when building right. This nerf, as much as it pains me to say it, was warranted and honestly won't effect it at all. It most likely needs a little bit more tuning in the future.

  3. I think a good change for Titan would be that Titan can always have the shoulder charge movement even if the melee abilitie is on cool down. If the melee abilitie is on cool down and a Titan goes to shoulder charge it will not one hit kill only do the damage of a typical melee. Titan movement needs help as they are pretty much grounded while other classes are able to use vertically imuch better.

  4. Icarus dash also isn’t getting addressed right now because it’s only tied to one subclass, hell one subclass node. Hunter dodge can be used on ALL four subclasses and nodes same with titan skating. It’ll get addressed. Calm your titties.

  5. The thing about Icarus dash is that top tree dawn still has a lot of compensatory abilities to make the neutral game strong. It may not break aim assist but top Dawn has a lot of aerial flanking ability, a decent super with tracking projectiles, and especially a long range tracking melee with strong recharge. Celestial fire is incredibly strong, particularly in solar plexus seasons and I think even without the fastest linear movement in the game, top tree dawnblade would still be a competitive and playable class. You could cut icarus to single activation before cooldown, for example, and it would still be very competitive. So I don't think it's particularly hard to adjust without making the class useless.

  6. I'm going back to my Titan main like I was on D1. I mained the hunter all D2 but I think I'm done with it. I have endured hunter nerfs since D2 launched and I'm sick of it. Hunter is the most nerfed class of them all from gwisin vest to spectral blades to blade barrage to shards to now the dodge. I'm over it! Going forward I'm a Titan again!

  7. I find it strange that you think icarus dash needs a nerf. It doesn't make you move that fast lmao. We are talking about like a 1-2 meter gain over just sprinting. You should really note that everything you say goes out the window unless they are wearing transversive steps. Because warlock are slow & clunky feeling without them. Did hunter dodge need to be nerfed? Not imo. Because hunter is PvP centric. All they've done now is bring hunter down to the titan & warlock level of usefulness in PvP, but didn't bring titan & warlock PvE usefulfulness down to hunters level.. they've basically made hunters just a "meh" choice with that one neef. There is no stand-up reason to choose a hunter over the others in PvP now.. it felt balanced before with each class having it's niche. Now it seems like hunters are getting the ass-end. I'm a warlock main btw, so doesn't effect me much. But I did yeah it out & now the hunter is like a sitting duck with no protection. Kinda forced to use sixth coyote lol.

  8. Hunters reacting to nerfs:
    "No bungie pls you're killing us waarlock op pls stop"

    Warlocks reacting to nerfs:
    "Our only viable subclass is getting deleted again"
    "I know"

    This is satire btw for all you salty hunters who are about to spam me

  9. The Icarus dash nerf thing is so completely idiotic. They’re not nerfing it right now cause they would have to put effort into the way momentum work with the warlock jump?? They don’t have to do that they can just reduce the cool down like the did with Hunter dodge or DUH they can make it so you don’t get fucking TWO for ever single time the god damn thing recharges
