I know the recent ability changes were made as a precursor to subclass changes in Witch Queen and beyond and although I’m enjoying them, especially the SC change (TITANS RISE), build crafting in the short term is severely underwhelming. For example, after the recent changes to Heart of Inmost Light, my lightning grenade build is unreliable in the extreme, with 4 seconds being hardly enough time to do anything of much significance. And that was for a rather powerful exotic armor piece! Now bad exotics are made even worse and further -blam!- the build presence in PvE and PvP due to how you’re better off just picking Synthos or Mask rather than struggling with something like Ashen Wake. Again this is all in preparation for Subclass 3.0 but we’re still going to have to deal with this for 3 more months. PS the super tier system is awful
