As someone that doesn't have a ton of time to game, it sucks seeing Starfire get nerfed. I got back into destiny with Lightfall to start playing with some of my friends again. I feel off during Beyond Light because I'm a Warlock and I wasn't able to contribute DPS on raids or run content solo due to low DPS output. When I got back in I decided to find a great solo build so that I can do stuff solo. My friends have been running a 3 man fireteam for years, so I'm not able to run a lot of content because of that. I spent so many hours grinding just to get a great Starfire build. Since then I've been able to run stuff I never have before. and I'm able to actually have fun during raids.
I don't really understand the nerf to the grave logic. Especially since, from my experience Starfire mostly excells in PVE content. It's not like I'm playing against other people and have a crazy advantage over them. The game finally feels fun for me and has opened up way more with me being able to do content I never could.
With this nerf I kinda just feel defeated and that I've wasted what little time I have in a build that just won't have that same impact. I know I can always chase another build, but honestly, it just doesn't feel worth it. I don't wanna invest that same kind of time and energy just for Bungie to come along and kill that off as well.

Edited by Warlock-6127: 5/11/2023 3:23:38 PMI heard the 2.5% is in line with Thread of Generation on Strand. Long story short, stop dooming. I am the one of the biggest Starfire users in public matchmaking even in GMs and never take it off really. It will be fine, you just have to get kills on trash mobs and save your nades on tanky bosses. Use demolitionist and you will be fine on kill. Grenade Kickstart, Innervation and Bomber are still good. Relax. The damage is still there btw.
