Destiny2: Forsakenadded abunch of new subclassesfor players to earn, but it seems that some subclasses are outshining the other options in the sandbox. Super abilities like Nova Warp for Warlocks and Blade Barrage for Hunters are so powerful that some players never switch off of them. Thankfully with the upcoming 2.1.4 update, Bungie is trying to bring all the subclasses more in-line with each other, hopefully making the sandbox a little more balanced for both PvE and PvP.
Generally speaking, nineDestiny 2subclasses will be getting damage increases in the 2.1.4 update: Golden Gun (six-shooter and three-shot), Shadowshot (Moebius Quiver), Arc Staff, Burning Maul, Hammer of Sol (Siegebreaker tree), Fist of Havoc, Sentinel Shield, Nova Bomb (Cataclysm and Vortex), and Daybreak. Two subclasses will be seeing small damage decreases: Blade Barrage and Nova Warp. Those are the noted changes coming in 2.1.4, but there may be even more changes coming as Bungie said they are still working on subclass tuning.
For Hunters, nearly every subclass was tweaked in some way. Blade Barrage received a nerf, but will likely still be strong withthe right exotics. Golden Gun is getting a solid buff to both trees that will make it a lot more viable in PvP. Nightstalker fans will likely be very happy with the damage buff that Moebius Quiver is getting, perhaps letting it finally kill in one shot.

Titans are already a very strong class to begin with, as they offer bothgreat damage and support optionswhen dealing with bosses. Almost every element of the solar Titan trees have been reworked, with other changes coming for the other two elements as well. Striker Titan’s Terminal Velocity perk will be getting a rework to have better damage scaling based on the distance players fall from during the super.

Warlocks are pretty strong in both PvE and PvP at the moment. Many players who are hunting for Luna’s Howl orThe Mountaintophave certainly seen plenty of Nova Warp Warlocks in the Crucible, but it seems that may be getting ready to change. Dawnblade and the other two Voidwalker trees are getting solid buffs, while Stormcaller is only receiving a slight buff overall.

Those are all the major changes coming to the subclasses that were revealed in the This Week at Bungie blog post. While there may be more changes to the sandbox coming, players will have to wait a bit longer to see what they are. According to the blog post, Bungie is looking to make Sandbox changes as frequently as possible to shake up theDestinyexperience. Hopefully there will be more changes in the future as players experience everything the Annual Passhas to offer.
