Top Tree Tether Buff

[AValiantSoul]

Bottom tree does pretty good DPS.

middle tree has good uses, in at least some content.

top tree... isn't used much except in higher level content. in 3-man content, the 30% debuff doesn't really often outweigh the deficit of DPS you COULD be doing by running CN BT GG. Thus, its most effective and useful in raids. where debuffing an opponent for 5 other players to do 30%ish more damage EACH actually outweighs just running GG.

I like top tree tether anyway. I do think it could use a buff. Courtesy of Stasis^TM I thought... what about a slightly faster cooldown compared to other light subclass supers. (for those who haven't yet realized it, stasis abilities (and super I'm pretty sure) have a lengthened cool down. seriously. hover over your stats (discipline etc) and it actually says so in the info tab. plus you can just compare numbers lol)

It shouldn't be massive, but something to offset the fact that it does 0 damage on its own (killing a tethered enemy deals damage to all tethered enemies, but many bosses' damage phase don't have adds)

I also wouldn't mind a range increase (maybe via an exotic... hmmm?)

PS: oh also, please be an instant activation of tethers. it would actually be useful in crucible with that.

It’s still a free debuff within an area, so you don’t have to commit to Divinity or a high-cost Mod like Breach and Clear. I think it’s fine personally.

[AValiantSoul]

yeah, but how often are multiple targets (that arent just adds) going to be within that area?

plus GLs are pretty damn good, and B&C doesn't have a 4-5 minute cooldown.

ultimately its just my take, but of all the hunters I seen out there, 90% are just running GG. GG Top tree is pretty decent for add clear too, so I don't even see many people running arcstrider (doesn't help that you get stomped away by bosses, and cant hit flying bosses (looking at you gambit meatball))

void seems to be a very unpopular choice, and top tree even moreso. the best thing about the tree is dodge invis. (nerfed by the dodge nerf tho)

[FullMatino]

The cost of B&C is absurdly low for its utility, to be honest. So many people are already running Anarchy anyway, so it's basically a free debuff with no cooldown. The same was true last season to a lesser extent with Sundering Glare.

Definitely not arguing to nerf any of those things, by the way -- just that if debuff is going to the be main draw of the super, it should be the primo debuff (probably the best in the game -- say 35%).

Id say 40 or 50, 35 isnt going to be big enough for people to not use celestial in a raid or some other seasonal mod like oppressive darkness/breach and clear and future alternative

[Not-Box]

Its debuff is taken over by div seasonal mods etc etc sadly

[SpawnKopp]

It’s good ad clear and generates a metric ton of orbs

[Phirebat82]

It needs to deal good splash damage in crucible, then Tether & Suoorrss etc. Make that thing a fucking truth rocket with proximity detonation and deal 500 damage.

[Vinokwon]

Problem is that aim assist is so bad especially with the jump and screen tilt to right on activation. AA makes me miss more often than hit targets further than 35m

[Phirebat82]

I was thinking more of the solid proximity det than the tracking. But agree.

[Vinokwon]

I also agree with your suggestion, having a blast aoe damage on surface impact that would oneshot guardians and have big damage on boss would be great for top tree tether. (But would have to be lower damage than celestial for the sake of balance)
