We need a Destiny 3 rather than adding any more layers of bloat to Destiny 2. New engine, new story and new system. I'd happily play a D1 remaster on PC though, while they made a D3.

Enhanced versions of most perks aren't meant to be so overwhelming better than the base version specifically so they don't cause balance issues. This is why Enhanced Surrounded (and I think one other perk I can't remember) is such a weird outlier as it gets a pretty sizable boost to the damage it provides. Some of those reductions in shots needed to trigger a perk or a 1 second duration increase in a buff timer are huge and worth more than you apparently have any idea. I suspect you think these are pointless because you're not good enough to know why they're so helpful. I know you're desperate for "loot to matter" so you can get carried through content to get access to it, then lord it over the poors who don't have a clan/friends willing to do content with a weight strapped to their ankles, but you've already got the advantage against other players by having that option. Why do you get to also have overpowered versions of a gun to offset your skill level when you're solo, too? There's gotta be a reason that this late in the season you're still under the Power cap spamming Custom Strikes all day, after all.

Perks with negatives I think also reduce those values. Personally I wouldn't care about getting a T6 or whatever if the stat difference isn't noticeable, but I think we already have enough stat monsters in the game (whether they need a perk like Perpetual Motion or Rangefinder is irrelevant so long as they require little to no risk or effort to keep going/ start a fight with). And the weapons that can do that are about to be increased in June. I mean my best Martlet's lowest stat is 79 range, every other stat is 88-94 after Perpetual Motion. Aim assist and sights aside, it's basically a better Redrix's Estoc (which it's nerfs have basically been made invalid at this point). Or since we're supposed to be able to craft T5 equivalents in June of raid weapons, I know to craft a Fatebringer with more range and stability than my best Rose (79 range 88 stability), the only real advantage Rose would bring to the table is the lightweight frame. And if a T5 Eyasluna keeps the same perks it's got now, all you need is ricochet rounds, range masterwork, and ballistic mod to have range and stability between 80-100. At that point, it would only further validate what I keep saying that they should just buff the stats of exotic weapons too. Not like the gimmicks are always worth it in pvp or PvE even when they don't come with a crippling defect, and what the hell is Ace for example bringing to the table that I couldn't do better with the aforementioned hand cannons? Nothing.

Actually didn't know the enhanced perks were that wimpy. Although the 0.5-1 second increase is a pretty big change, the little bumps in stats are nothing. I think there should be a buff of some kind, if only for a few of the enhanced perks.

Actually sounds interesting
