Just in case you all didn't know, the "Shatter" perk on the nova bomb makes it ridiculously strong against the Ward of Dawn. Shatter was no fun to deal with in the past because if any one of the 3 bombs landed, the bubble would go down. This left 2 bombs left to kill the defender inside.
AND THEN........the damage buff happened....... it is now physically impossible to survive a nova bomb with shatter after it's current damage buff. Bungie said themselves that "other supers weren't getting enough love." I think they forgot that people still use defender's in the crucible. Golden gun now one shots armor of light (used to be 2) and shatter is a guaranteed kill. There is no other super in the game that can kill a defender 100% of the time. I suggest the Ward of Dawn gets a buff to its health, or the defender gets an exotic so suppressor grenades will auto detonate on proximity. This would give Defenders a fighting chance against this deadly airborne super ability.
