Considering it is a power of darkness, is it possible they intentionally made it this OP?


Considering their history of releasing overpowered subclasses regardless of power origins (Sunbreaker & Stormcaller in TTK, Nova Warp/Well/Spectral/Blade Barrage in Forsaken), I'm not so sure. The cynical explanation is that they make them overpowered to sell expansions. The not-so-cynical explanation is that they just can't help themselves.

From the TWAB;

Fine, It’s Cosmic Ice
We are seeing many Guardians out in the wild who have claimed Stasis as their own and embraced a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural. There are many Aspects and Fragments still left to be discovered that will allow you to further customize your new powers. We wanted to give you some additional info on how these new status effects will hinder your opponents. This is not info the Vanguard would tell you.

...I think you may be on to something Squid. Here is how the meeting probably went;

Bungie Dev: Isn't Stasis OP?

Bungie Dev Boss: POWER! UNNNNLIMITED POOOWWUHHHH!!!
