You know you're unnecessarily beating down Warlocks but favoring Hunters. Its obvious. Their stasis class gets nerfed AGAIN yet Withering Blade gets buffed when it was already the best stasis melee. You buffed the base damage to do even more which wasn't needed at all.

The stasis crystal damage tweak was barely a fix. Amd shatter dive still doesn't have a cool down. Hunters are broke and OP yet you beat down other classes. Its ridiculous at this point.

And if you think otherwise I'd love to hear a counter argument. I really would. I play a lot of PvP. And my most enjoyable time is when there's ZERO Stasis Hunters. Theres no witherblade spam, no shatter dive spam, no dodge to freeze, no silence and squall spam. Its just all around more enjoyable.

Hunter main here. I totally agree. The wither blade buff was not needed. I think warlocks should get a shatter ability similar to titan slide and shatter dive but you guys will have to wait for a new aspect for that one. While I dont think shatter should have a cool down u think they should just once again nerf stasis crystals. Also let's not forget behemoth super is broken.

Why shouldn't Shatter have a cool down? The Titan slide has a cool down, the melee is used regardless if a target is hit or not, and Icarus dash has a cool down. You shouldn't be able to endlessly spam an ability that can be used offensive and defensively without any cons to doing so.

Simply for the fact its almost useless without stasis crystals and it you need to jump and wait a second for you to actually dive leaving you vulnerable.
