More specifically, the fact that it has a vertical blast radius equivalent to an atomic bomb's mushroom cloud is what makes it OP. There's no reason why it should kill me when I'm 30 feet in the air, Bungie. That's just overkill.
Edit: Let me make it clear for all of you. Fist of Panic is a ground pound. The important word there is "ground". Fist of Panic, a "ground" pound, can take out people 30 feet in the air. That's my problem with it.
Now watch as the people who abuse it come to defend it.

I do agree that the vertical blast/shock radius should be reduced in crucible. Plenty of times I've seen a titan just charging at me without shooting and instantly knew one of two things: 1) Shoulder charge 2) Fist of Havoc So I float to max height with my warlock, which is set to max agility during crucible since armor doesn't matter all that much imo. Anyways, here I am, 50 feet in the air, and I die. Every time. People can do it over the top of a nova bomb, why not the fist of havoc?
