So, in the patch notes, it states that the Hungering Blade nerf affected somehow a bunch of other things, but their not going to fix it. Thankfully, only 2 of those things were relevant to us Defenders. No Backup Plans and the Ward of Dawn cast. Let me cast some light on this situation:
1. No Backup Plans
It still activates Force Barrier, just not the health regen that used to come automatically after it. I messed around with this in PvE and PvP, it can be irritating. Fix this.
2. Ward of Dawn cast:
When you activate ward of dawn, it used to start immediate health and shield regeneration. But now it doesn't. SUPER IRRITATING in Mayhem (which is this week yay) and can be in PvE situations, but it's not horrible. Fix this.
Bungie asked what we thought about the "unintended changes that they don't feel like fixing", and this is what I think:
The defender changes aren't game-breaking but they nag at me just enough to want them fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for trying to make a good weapons patch.

The health regen nerf is the only one I like and it was even intentional
-
VoidWalker is now forced to use Soul Rip.... RiP my Vampire Walker.....

Alltought you like defender which I do too, this affected many subclasses. I believe that was no need to change any health regen perks and weapon in the first place including hungering blade. Now it would be wrong for them to make that nerf only to hungering blade, hammers and nova would have a similar perk which made them a better chioce. My point is who tought about nerfing blade which nerfed alot more things in the first place. Just why is Bungie so disorganized that they cant test and recheck their changes before lauching a patch. They are so lazy that the shinobus vow still says it improves skip grenades when it doesnt anymore, it only gives you an extra one. Trully sad

Defender is the only subclass for me. Please give it back
-
So if they fix NBP and WoD the can we fix the regen on everything they nerfed
-
Same with void walker
-
Im hoping they do fix that ._. I love the defender I main it. Hopefully they fix that cuz that health regen was a life saver!! But don't worry y'all they buffed our magnetic grenades so that's good right?!💜💪✊

So call me crazy, but I dare say this is a buff to Defender? I have not tested or seen anything since this patch, but to my knowledge I don't recall the ward of dawn nor backup plans having an inherent health regen. I thought it just gave an overshield considering the times I would get an overshield from either of these two methods (at low health) then get mapadored from space. So unless something is screwy with the overshield, I think we get bonus HP instantly after overshield is applied.

IMO, all the unplanned damage needs to be fixed. Sunbreaker, Voidwalker, SUROS Regime, all of it.
