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.

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
