That was an amazing throw, he landed that grenade right next to you.

What makes me mad is my Super cannot kill, and requires me to perform complex, perfectly timed maneuvers, to defeat any other Super while the Stormcallers just have to point in my general direction (sometimes, other times they just shoot a friendly near me from around a corner!) and hold down their trigger to destroy my bubble and kill me. And that's if they didn't pop the bubble in the very first instant their super activates!

I don't want an invincible bubble. I do want an end to the bullshit of a 20 second Super canceling my Super in its first tenth of a second...

And yep, Arc Blade is so underpowered compared to Stormtrance in both PvE and PvP. It's stupid watching a pair of Stormcallers mop up entire waves of Prison of Elders with their lightening arcing into three enemies at once while my Bladedancer might barely be able to kill two enemies total per super.

Can we please have Bubbles be a touch overpowered for a little bit in PvP? Maybe just for a month?

What changes could be made to make bubbles just a little over powered, but not too much? Or maybe ways they could be used offensively? Aside from placing them right in Slycrel's way, that's almost always offensive.
- Deplete 1/3 of the opponents health caught in the bubble on deployment?
- Temporary suppression when entering a bubble?
- AoE damage when the bubble goes away?

I would make it so that the bubble returned damage to the user who shot the outside of it. It would mean you could actually keep people from firing at it. Or, if you are good enough you could pop it when you see an incoming projectile.

Fundamentally change how it works. Instead of a stationary bubble. The defender gets a invincible movable hamster ball 1.5X the regular size. Other people can move in and out, but the defender is stuck inside forcing them to use melee/TLW/shottys/short-gaze on opponents who enter into the ball of doom. Sure, your offence is limited in range, but you can move around and it takes a full super to pop your hamsterball. I'm sure they could code new animations for the super... Helm of Saint-14 is OP.

Well, Landfall doesn't pop Bubbles anymore anyway. Other Stormcaller nerfs as well.

Bungie started signaling a nerd to Stormcallers and a buff to Sunsingers months ago. I just hope they do enough... and that they dispense with the notion that it's ok for a single subclass (the Defender) to have a significantly worse k/d and point spread than every other subclass.

A Sunsinger buff would be an unthinkable disaster in Trials.

Just a question: have you tried playing as a Stormcaller? I don't think it's quite as easy to dominate with the Super as you are making it out to be. I'd say I'm normally pretty happen with 2-3 kills, and I am much more confident making better use of the Golden Gun. Also, trying to use Landfall usually gets me killed rather that killing anyone, it's AOE really isn't that large.

Well, two things:
1. I rarely play with classes or weapons I think are overpowered. I didn't go Thorn when Thorn was everything. I don't have a 1000 Yard Stare. Etc. Back in the Halo days I'd rarely pickup a shotgun, preferring to beat enemies fairly.
2. I actually don't like Stormtrance very much as a Super even when I'm using it. The hover animation annoys me. Losing my guns annoys me and leave me open to long range attack.

There are times, though, that its duration and ability to kill via arcing absolutely make it extremely over powered... like when someone kills you on one side of Frontier then spawnkills you on the other before their Super runs out. But my hatred towards Stormtrance is as much or more about how it popped by "indestructible" Ward of Dawn without the other player so much as looking my way or even attacking, and how Stormtrance very much blurred the lines between classes as it essentially gave the Warlock most of the powers of a Striker Titan all at the same time (blinding, area of effect attack, health regen) and then went on to last another 20 seconds.

I will once again argue that a lower k/d for Defender is just fine. Wasn't there also a statistic that said that Defenders had a higher win percentage than any other class? Don't forget that in addition to the Ward of Dawn itself, you drop 2-3 orbs for every other player on your team in a place of your choosing, helping them to charge their supers. Perhaps instead of trying to use Ward of Dawn aggressively to take ground, it's best used to consolidate areas already under control? There is that +15 points for each kill your teammates get when under Blessings effects.

Remember, the Defender was considered so amazing by the Destiny community that Bungie could not fit their label into the Crucible subclass usage chart!

That boost to a team's winning percentage? None of us knew it existed (see chart above) because it isn't exposed in any of the in-game data. No, most people think the Defender is a PvE only class because its sole way to contribute (besides getting your team killed as they hide in your "indestructible" bubble) is to Suppress enemies.

Similarly, that 15 point Support bonus is pretty crappy. Think about it, you put down a bubble and just how many people do you expect to kill if everything goes perfectly? 6. (Any more than 6 and your enemies are just complete idiots) Well, 6*15 = 90. Congrats, you almost earned your team the equivalent of another zero control point, zero bonused kill. More typically you + your team will get two to three kills that can be attributed to your bubble. That's only 30 - 45 extra points... That's less than a single Assist! All the Blessings or Weapons of Lighting you did for your team typically don't matter as much as a single Assist, according to the Crucible's scoring...

Now, you and I know that the above chart is kinda dumb. A single Defender can, if played well, shut down enemy Supers, hold down a point, get your team an area of the map they were struggling with, or keep a Heavy Ammo crate in your possession. I am very sure I have been the Guardian that has turned many games around, not by killing, but by using Ward of Dawn at the right place and the right time. But playing a Defender well is a good deal more difficult than any other class.

Of course, the Defender still has some very odd limitations. Like, it is the sole Subclass whose melee ability does absolutely nothing unless you get a kill. It, along with the Sunsinger, cannot earn credit for Super kills. Titans are also the only Class that does not have access to an auto-targeting grenade like the Fire or Arcbolts or Axion Bolts. Heck, it took Bungie a year and a half to decide that maybe just maybe having all Titan melees be 15+% shorter than every other class was a bad move...
