Stasis has BROKEN crucible.
Now I guess is just a matter of different perspectives. Do all three classes get to be equally flashy and have abilities that get easy kills? Or do you nerf all three classes to be equally average?
Do one or the other, just don't be bias against one subclass.
Bungie said:
"We have seen a lot of feedback on Stasis since Beyond Light launched last week. We’ve heard it’s a ton of fun to use, but certain aspects of this new subclass can be frustrating to go up against (looking at you, Shadebinder Warlocks). We have a few minor tweaks planned..."
My PTSD from Nova Warp is starting to flair up. 5 nerfs is not minor. And Shadebinder is frustrating?? Have you tried getting close to a Shatterdive Hunter? NOT WISE. How about killing a sliding Titan with Cryoclasm? GOOD LUCK. Everything is frustrating and nobody likes getting killed, don't just single out one class.
Please calm down my Hunter and Titan friends, I'm not asking to nerf the other classes. I enjoy playing Hunter and Titan. Just some people need to relax with the warlock hate. Minor tweaks are fine, but that's not what happened.
Bungie admitted:
"Shortly after launch, we put out a hotfix to reel in Stasis a bit. When we made these changes we wanted them to have as much efficacy as possible and that meant using broad strokes to cover a lot of ground."
I commend Bungie for being honest about hitting too hard, they were on the right track, just didn't do enough. A ranged melee is not effective when it has little speed. And Warlocks don't have neutral abilities for slowing and shattering like Titans and Hunters do. Warlocks neutral abilities are all based on freezing, freezing is the foundation. Adjusting grenades is one thing, just don't hit Warlock abilities so hard.
So, There is room to add 3 more buffs, For example...
*Penumbral Blast Melee: Range was nerfed by 43% then later buffed by 37%
Penumbral Blast Melee: Projectile speed was nerfed by 20% ... so please buff by 14%
Penumbral Blast Melee: Freeze duration was nerfed by 72% ... so please buff by 39%
Ice Flare Bolts Aspect: Freeze duration was nerfed by 72% ... so please buff by 39%
Thank you.

You know bungie hates warlocks. They will never make such changes. Look at how they've left nova warp.
-
Bro please stop, instant freezing is just bad. That melee deserved everything it got. Also shatterdive isn’t a problem, the glacier grenade is. Maybe it could use a slight cooldown tho.
-
Id rather see stasis toned down on every class.
-
I'd rather they just delete pvp.
-
I feel your pain, I get PTSD any time I hear of changes. BUngie always targets warlocks for nerfs. What they did not nova wrap was unforgivable
-
Balancing doesn't work on a 50|50 basis. You sure you want OEM to get an equal amount of buffs?
-
Bungie is nothing but hateful babies. Just like my 3 year old child, they dont want anyone to touch thier toys or make them feel like they arent the best...go figure they all play this game and all are either titan or hunters...none are warlocks. So they sit there and when thier asses got handed to them with hhsn, nova warp, stasis and the list goes on daddy luke cried and it was destroyed. Sunset warlocks once and for all and be done with the bs games bungie. He made ithers do this in warcraft for his title you think he would ever be fair in a game? NOPE
-
warlock stasis the only balacend class for stasis
-
And still the best stasis super.
-
The Penumbral Blast and Iceflare bolt freeze duration is fine. You still have plenty of time to kill your opponent. You just gotta be ready to capitalize on the freeze quickly.
-
Mmmmm nope. One of the few things I think needs fixed? Duskfield grenades.
-
I still doubt they would compete with the other stasis classes if they got the buffs you proposed. Just give up on warlock. If enough people do, maybe things will change
