It's no secret - Destiny's balance sucks. The current meta is very reliant upon special weapons, whether they be shotguns or snipers, the infamous exotic hand cannon duo - Thorn and Last Word, scout rifles and burn damage. Most of the weapons that Destiny once prided themselves for are now completely useless. So, I have taken many community suggestions and my own personal ideas to create a balance patch that would hopefully fix this mess of a game. [b][u]Weapons[/u][/b] Auto Rifles: -Revert all auto rifle changes to Patch 1.0.1 Pulse Rifles: -Revert all pulse rifle changes to Patch 1.1.1 Scout Rifles: -Increase rate of fire by 3% across all archetypes Hand Cannons: -Revert all hand cannon changes to Patch 1.1.1 Shotguns: -Revert all shotgun changes to Patch 1.1.1 -Increase spread of all shotguns by 5% -Add "Shot Package" as a perk option - reduces spread by 3% when aiming down sights Sniper Rifles: -Increase base zoom level for all scopes by 5% -Reduce handling speeds by 2% -Reduce non-precision damage based on impact level to the following damages- *10 impact:74 *13 impact:89 *16 impact:92 *22 impact:101 *31 impact:123 *37 impact:155 Fusion Rifles: -Revert all fusion rifle changes to Patch 1.0.1 -Reduce base impact across all fusion rifle archetypes by 3% Sidearms: -Increase base stability by 5 points for all sidearms -Increase projectile travel speed by 15% Machine Guns: -Reduce bullet deviation by 30% .Rocket Launchers: -Reduce base velocity by 3% [b][u]Exotic Weapons[/u][/b] -Add in a Year 2 version of all exotic weapons and armor without a Year 2 version SUROS Regime: -Revert base stats to pre-Patch 2.0 Fabian Strategy: -Increase base magazine size to 50 Red Death: -Revert stats to Patch 1.0.1 (increased impact, reduced rate of fire) Tlaloc: -Reduce rate of fire while "Overflow" is active by 30% Thorn: -Revert stats to Patch 1.0.1 (low stability, reload and mag size; increased burn damage) Hawkmoon: -Revert stats to Patch 1.1.1 (increased range and lucky bullet damage) The Chaperone: -Reduce base range by 25% Ice Breaker: -Revert stats to Patch 1.1.1 (increased ammo regen speed) [b][i]Subclasses[/i][/b] Sunbreaker: -Increase velocity of thrown hammers -Reduce melee burn time to match incendiary grenade burn time Nightstalker: -Reduce damage enemies take from smoke grenades -Increase enemy's movement speed while trapped in smoke grenades Bladedancers: -Fix an issue where a player would not have the blue glow when in Arc Blade -Increase armor while in Arc Blade to 55% -Add a 3 second cool down to Hungering Blade activation Sunsingers: -Reduce duration of grenade and melee burn damage to match incendiary grenade burn time -Reduce "Viking Funeral" burn time increase by 50% Stormcallers: -Make "Transcendence" take away grenade and melee charge upon activation I know that this is a very extensive list that changes many things, but I believe that it will overall give a much needed increase in balance among different classes and weapons in Destiny. I'm positive that not everyone will like every change I proposed. If so, just let me know. If I hear any good suggestions, I will most certainly edit the post to incorporate them. If you agree with most things that I proposed, spread the word. Try and get Bungie's attention on this. Maybe, just maybe, we, the community, may be able to save this game and make Destiny one step closer to the game that everyone wanted it to become.
