Bungie at it again with the secret nerfs.
Now, I don't have damage numbers, because come on it's Telesto lol. But I've been more or less maining Telesto in PvE since the weapon slot changes so I know damn well how much damage it used to do to all enemies in this game. Zero question, it got nerfed. The difference is immediately noticeable.
Is Telesto still good? Yes, because it remains one of the most versatile guns in PvE, useful on everything from mobs to shielded enemies to majors and even bosses.
But it is no longer the unquestioned best energy slot weapon in the entire game. This opens the door for full auto shotguns and snipers and Sun Shot (which just got a stealth buff and is pretty filthy in PvE right now).
Telesto is no longer the besto. :(

If it's not the besto then why does it rhyme? Checkmate vegans Love, Nano

Telesto is just like the resto? :(

Edited by W33DEDPLAGUE: 9/26/2018 2:53:26 PMI just started using it again last night(because it was a powerful drop from 6th exotic engram in forsaken that has given me my 6th OLD exotic) and it didn't seem weak or really any different but I haven't used it in a while. And although I don't usually take the word of 1 random lerson, you are gonna make me pull out sunshot tonight aren't ya?
-
Proof of nerf? I don't believe 1 random guy whos Telesto isn't 1 shotting the things he used to 1 shot. Let's see some hotfix notes.
-
Nah best energy slot (for dps) is coldheart w/ lunafaction boots and dmg rift. Change my mind
-
When did it get nerfed? I just got a triple with one shot in crucible.
-
Good, I’m so sick of getting melesto’d by that gun.
-
It’s still the biggest easymode gun of D2. And it needs to be moved into the power slot.

O O speghettio

It works great taking down the witches in Gambit.

Big Smoke, dat you?

Edited by MainFrame-NL-: 9/25/2018 6:48:52 AMMaybe it's a side effect from the telesto "fix" in the well. U can no longer use it to skip to the boss and u have to do all those boring rounds to get there
-
They didn't secret nerf it for the blind well or anything. They just made it not progress the blind well.
-
Unless you have evidence to back it up I don’t believe you.

[quote]This opens the door for full auto shotguns and snipers and Sun Shot (which just got a stealth buff and is pretty filthy in PvE right now).[/quote] That answers my question. Thank you. Any recommendations off the top of your head?
-
Sunshot wasn’t buffed. They just fixed a side effect of explosive payload getting goofed
-
finally. even though i would've preferred for them to move it to the power slot
-
One of the many problems of the Wild West was the Willy Nilly factor. You have just committed Willy Nillyness. Zero fact based statements you made.
-
When was the latest hot fix? I was running it in ep this weekend (it melts oranges 3 at a time) and didn’t notice it being weaker.

Unfortunately, it's not that telesto was nerfed, it's that they lowered damage across the board for all energy slot weapons, and buffed kinetic slot weapons. Don't ask why.
