Remember Kevin Yanes literally said that their goal is for Strand to be exciting because it's new, they specifically avoided making it overwhelmingly powerful, and they didn't want it to be the "obvious pick" for any content in the game. The subclass is also a partial release and is not intended to be at parity with the others until a future season ("by the end of the year") when we have our full set of powers available to us

Keep expectations tempered, because season 20 is sort of a beta release for Strand

And a huuuuge reminder that per the GDC presentation, they design by template, and they are following the Beyond Light template for this. They're promised that they cut down on the gameplay hours required to unlock strand, compared to stasis, but it will have a similar procedure (quests to unlock your grenade options, timegated unlocks for fragments, seasonal release of aspects, etc)

the people complaining about green titan don't think that the new class won't be powerful or useful, just that it isn't cool. There's no way that it has some super cool badass feeling ability that they didn't put in the trailer. Green blades on hands and a green khepris horn are the coolest thing the class does, because that's what's in the trailer.

No I'm just confirming that it won't be cool OR powerful, because they already promised this

best way to do this is with a wave frame GL since a direct hit will damage Atraks but not enough to start the death anim. This is also how you do the solo.

I'd be fine with green behemoth as a roaming super, if they replaced Glacial Quake with a non-roaming super that creates the entire Halo map Blood Gulch, but 1:1 made of stasis crystals, at the point of impact

i'd be fine with a green behemoth super that is just the original fist of havoc but scaled up to match power creep

that would be bad rear end actually

I have an incredibly simple solution to the stasis problem.



I like this. As you indicate, many stasis builds gets hampered by the need to pay both fragment and armor mod taxes, so reducing one or the other would be nice.

Behemoth should be buffed as well. It went from one of the most annoying and deadly supers in PvP to a wet fart and they never re-tuned it after that. Also Winters Wrath needs one hell of a nerf. That poo poo is very broken in PvP.

Behemoth alt Super I just thought up: A 'burst damage' type, the Titan first creates two Stasis Gauntlets in each hand. They slam one into the ground, creating a wave of massive Stasis Crystals around the Titan, freezing anything caught in the radius. Then they slam the other, creating a massive shockwave and detonating the crystals, doing damage from the shockwave and the shatter

Apologies if this is laid out earlier but I haven't played since the Forsaken pack. What is the best way to shore up the content in prep for Lightfall. $150 CAD to get all of the legacy content and latest Expansion seems high.

I would just wait until Lightfall and get that.

Yeah, get lightfall, then get old stuff next time it goes on sale or you're desperate to play some old raid or something.

This seems to happen at least once a season if I recall correctly; when I made the move from PS# to PC I had to buy a lot of stuff over again but it wasn't super annoying to wait for a sale on past expansions to grab 'em.

I think Forsaken was $8 last sale, so it's definitely worth the wait

It feels like there's something completely disingenuous about Witch Queen Deluxe being on sale at 75% of on PSN when a huge chunk of it is only going to be playable for the next 3 weeks.

The Deluxe edition includes, specifically, access to seasons 16-19 content, which is indeed mostly going away at the end of February

Witch Queen Deluxe for $20 is a good price even though the seasons go away in 19 days

If it bothers you that the seasons are going away soon, you can also just buy Witch Queen Standard for $40 although it does not include Duality & Spire of the Watcher
