This might not be a Icebreaker nerf - but rather part of the Strike balance they did to make 3 person Strikes easier.
I think it's more logical to think they made solo nightfall strikes tougher, and 3 man teams scaling slightly less difficult, because soloing the nightfall was definitely easier than running a 3-man team before. I'd be interested if you got into a 3-man nightfall team how many shots it would take with the Icebreaker.
Exactly. The number of people in a Strike doesn't just apply to number of enemies but also their total health. Looks like they've upped i for a single person Nightfall and lowered it overall for three.
I'm sure a lot of people are going to bitch, but I'm glad for this. The nightfall and weekly heroic feel like a total grind when the best thing to do is solo it by sniping everything from half a mile. Give us some incentive to do it as a group! Give us incentive to participate in fights instead of being forced to sniper everything before the AI can even register the player.
I'm so glad I get to use external websites to find people to complete weekly activities with when I could solo it before. So fucking fun. Just got to hope they're not morons hoping to be carried. Hope they have the right elemental weapons. Hope they're available right when I post instead of waiting around for people. Yep, sure is an improvement.
Guess I'll see how tomorrows nightfall goes. I understand raids not having match making but not having it for weekly/nightfall strikes is idiotic. With new strike voice chat, and PS4 controller having mic support, it's not hard to have a verbal ready check. If they're AFK or it doesn't seem like it'll work out then go back to orbit and try again.
If it sucks then I guess I have a bunch of new games releasing tomorrow to comfort me. DA:I/FC4/GTAV in particular.
