About Ice Breaker (Destiny)

Shadow of Veils, LDR, Supremacy, Longbow Synthesis, Her Benevolence, Efrideet's Spear all have that much impact, and in the case of the spear, more.

many have similar impact ratings. But going back to my benchmark test, Ice Breaker and Black Hammer are the only ones that can 1-shot boomer knights. That is a significant difference in the heat of battle.

Me and probablylast also two manned that encounter this week and we're awful. I think if you switch up your guns there you might have an easier time than you think you will. The nerf will hamper IB's utility there, yes. But that was never where it shone, I think.

You've never seen Cyber use an Ice Breaker ;)

But I get your point, and you're right: other weapons are totally viable in that situation. But my point was that Ice Breaker might not be viable anymore, except in camping situations... And THOSE are the situations Bungie is trying to remove. That's my fear, at least.
