      That’s probably the buff I’m most excited about. Renewal Grasps should be insane with all the ways we have to quickly regain ability energy in the current sandbox.

    I’ve been playing around with Astrocyte Blink recently. Excited to try out the buff!

      Yeah, that one actually sounds like it’ll be really unique and fun to mess around with. I better start practicing my blinks!

    Strand getting even tankier with the buff to Sever now reducing outgoing target damage from 30% to 40%.

    Damage reduction with T10 Resil + Woven Mail + Sever will be 83% in S22. RDM + Strand Hunter melee spam build is looking even better. Shame about suspend though.

    Looking forward to those Wings of Sacred Dawn and Astrocyte changes for Warlock, too.

      Suspend basically invalidates some combat encounters. Although I think the nerf to champion suspend is a bit too much.

        For sure, don’t get me wrong; Suspend needed a nerf, and I’m glad this change gives Stasis some purpose again. Though I agree, the champion suspend nerf is really rough.

        RIP Strand Titans, following the nerf to Suspend + Thread of Mind. The whole post is kinda RIP Titans, actually.

          I’m not too worried about it with utility kickstart being a thing. Just have to think about when to suspend now instead of just “barricade every 5 sec to win”.

          We were expecting a nerf. Like last season. Titans are just in a mediocre place rn.

        Yeah the nerf is a bit extreme. Suspend is extremely strong like you said but even then, that change feels like an overreaction

    Does knucklehead still not give you radar if the modifiers take it away? Because otherwise putting 2 literally last plast exotics together isn’t going to make them viable.
