I'm sure it was fun while it lasted.

Last week, Bungie released Destiny 2: Beyond Light to some content starved fans and with it came a new power, Stasis. With Stasis, players can freeze and slow enemies in both PvE and PvP modes and frankly, it's been a blast. The problem is that for the Warlock class, they may have been a bit too powerful, especially in the game's various PvP modes. Bungie definitely heard the complaints and today's update aims to reign in some of these overpowered Warlock abilities just a smidgen.

According to Bungie, Warlocks used to be able to freeze their enemies in PvP from up to 28 meters away just from their melee ability. That range has been dialed way back to being just 16 meters. Bungie also nerfed the Warlock Stasis super speed and range by fairly substantial amounts.

The good news here, and this is for all classes, is that freeze duration in PvP has been reduced by a considerable amount. While players in PvP used to be frozen for 4.75 seconds, the new amount is 1.35 seconds. While a lot of these changes seem to be a real smack in the face to Warlock mains, Bungie's community manager dmg04 reassured players that Warlocks will "still be wrecking shop with these abilities."

Sadly, much to everyone's disappointment, the Exodus Crash strike has been re-enabled.
