My title says it all, stronghold while it may be "niche", already performs quite well in its current state. As it stands you can work your way up to a 97% total DR while blocking with strongholds and a set of T4 armor. With the planned rework, you'll cap out at around a little over 50% while also gutting the restoration function of the exotic making it practically pointless to run. There are better ways to get to 50% and the proposed rework just makes strongholds even more of a niche than they are now. PLEASE BUNGIE, do not do this to us! I love my strongholds and if these changes go through then I can't see myself running strongholds over almost anything else.

Well said. The change needed to happen as too many people crutch on the exotic in a way that isn't good for the game, but the change shouldn't have been completely removing the exotic from usefulness. They need to aim for a more balanced approach to the nerf.
