My perspective (Destiny)

Some people have already mentioned that this part of the map might be especially prone to physics impulses causing longer travel than expected. So, there's that. But I haven't seen anyone mention that the Sunsinger melee has a specific perk (Solar Wind) which is supposed to cause increased knockback. Didn't know if you knew about that or not. It's not usually so extreme, but combined with an area that's already prone to it...

That all said, I didn't think Solar Wind actually got used much in PvP. Seems like flame shield would be better to me. I couldn't tell if that player had a flame shield active - the Radiance effect kind of obscures things.

Here’s what I saw:

Could be Solar Wind; his shield didn’t regen with either of his melees, but then again he may have already used it at this point (I don’t remember). Might also explain why he was able to launch both of them with one hit (I’ve never actually used Solar Wind, so I’m not sure if that’s a plausible explanation).
