Possible stronghold changes
I was just watching a Houndish video and saw that dmg said something indicating potential stronghold changes coming and I just wanted to say that if blocking forever and reflecting damage with praxic blade is a problem then fine, do something about that, but please do not destroy this exotic or the aggressive playstyle capable with this exotic over this issue. The aggressive/risky/tanky playstyle this exotic is capable of is by far the most enjoyable playstyle this game has to offer in my opinion and will be another nail in the coffin for me if you destroy this playstyle over this issue. I have zero faith in y’all at this point to not mess this up but this playstyle is worth wasting my time voicing my feedback over.
Edited to add: I don’t even think the blocking forever is “broken” or needs nerfed. Is it safe? Sure, if you position yourself correctly. It’s also so much slower, it doesn’t clear rooms quick just holding block so there’s already a balance to it. What about other builds? You could just run around bonking everything with solar Titan. You could run around poking everything with Vexcalibur and wormgods. What about getaway artist? Pop a nade and run around deleting everything, you don’t even need to shoot anything or even pay attention to what’s going on… the build plays for you. What about dodge melee hunters? You can clear rooms so much faster with so many other builds and be just as safe in my opinion. So why are we looking at the build that allows you to infinitely block damage if you wanted to but means whatever it is your doing is going to take longer to do?

Just watch today’s TWID. Dude finished a solo rushdown in less than 2 minutes. How? The grapple melee combo. Been in the game for a long time and is still WAY over powered. That crap needs nerfed!

3 RepliesHonestly it's not that big a problem, after the seasonal artifact resets most of those problems go away. The lightsaber won't be worth the spot without the buffs.

I’ll continue to not touch this game if they butcher strongholds
-
You know damn well Bungie are going to “Old Yeller” them. They probably going to do it to the lightsaber too. Because THAT will bring players back and also keep people from leaving.
-
lol all Bungie knows how to do is rug pull. It’s pathetic

Edited by TripleF73: 4/7/2026 7:01:46 PMI agree. Leave Strongholds alone Bungie. Once the blade perks in the artifact go away it’s not going to be a problem anymore. Bungie’ll probably nerf it into the ground, because they know best, right Bungie? 🤣 With that unwarranted and unnecessary nerf to Strongholds you’ll probably take a fair few of the newer players that might have stuck around if you’d left it alone. If this happens I want Getaway Artist and Fortune’s Favour nerfed into the ground too. What you actually need to do Bungie is buff most of the useless exotics armour pieces in the game. NO MORE NERFS.

8 RepliesEdited by Griever: 4/6/2026 10:51:16 PMI honestly can't wait for it to get nerfed. It may come in clutch with what's basically infinite God mode in PvE (and if you get ammo for Praxic, pvp as well), but all it does otherwise is hold everyone back because either their damage is scaling off of all the ads shooting them with Praxic Blade, requiring people NOT kill ads like they're supposed to when not doing mechanics/ boss damage, or the boss is always slamming and turning so much they can't do full damage due to all the crits they keep missing. So I personally just swapped over to a weapon like Barrow Dyad because I kept missing crits thanks to people like that. It honestly got to the point that the second I saw a titan with strongholds back when it first became meta in Heresy that I just booted anyone using it. They contributed basically no damage in a timed activity, that block is huge so they were getting hit instead of the boss at times, and again the constant slamming. If an exotic on 1 guy practically forces everyone else to play around them, it needs a rework. Yes, it needs something done to it because I shouldn't have to change my entire play style/ loadout just to do more than ad clear.

1 ReplyAnd this is the reason they haven’t released the last 4 Grandmasters. That don’t want anything to be easier then it should be. Classic Bungo!

Your points are valid. Titans aren’t exactly in a good spot right now and warlocks pretty much took over on the melee build department via lightning surge spam. On the next major update (assuming there’s anyone left working for bungie) I can see them making ability adjustments for all classes. Unfortunately, they have a history of never doing things in moderation. I’ve been using stasis and solar warlock to change things up.
-
It would be a shame for an exotic armour piece to pay for the sins of a single weapon. Again.

5 RepliesTo be honest as a Titan main I don’t see this much of a problem if anything it’s made us more reliable and useful this season because it always seems to be the Titans that take the heavy Nerf it’s never the hunters or the warlocks that ever get that kind of nerve to the point where they’re useless Titans are meant to be this strong defensive unbreakable wall character and because Hunter and Warlock players complained so much the Titans are absolutely nothing now for one I don’t want them nothing in this if anything it makes us useful and we’re the ones who can bear the brunt of the attack attacks while the other players go off and do whatever puzzles or hunt down the enemy without being bombarded by he attacks that will wipe a whole team maybe what players I’ve got to realise is instead of being pissed off with this Titan build lean into it and accept that we are your defence
