Destiny 2: Season 19 creeps in with buffs and nerfs for all subclasses
Destiny 2 Season 19 starts on December 6, 2022, and along with it, Bungie developers want to make some adjustments to the Solar, Arc, and Void Light Focuses, as well as the Stasis Dark Focus. In plain language: There are some buffs and some nerfs that are primarily, but not exclusively, aimed at PvP. We have the overview for you.
The developers of Destiny 2 completed the rework of the light focuses of the classes with Season 18 and can slowly feel their way into a kind of fine tuning with Season 19. Accordingly, the season, which starts on December 6, 2022, will bring some buffs and nerfs that are mainly noticeable in PvP, but not limited to it. Below you can read about the upcoming changes, sorted by element.
However, the Bungista will not change a few things with the new season. The invisibility of night stalker hunters is currently a problem, especially in high-level PvP, which is still being observed by the devs, for which there is currently no solution. And: You can also count on the release of Lightfall on February 28, 2023 and beyond with adjustments. After all, the new Darkness Focus strand comes into play with the expansion, which will also play a role in balancing decisions in the overall picture. The following are the changes that await you and your Guardians in Season 19. The detailed notes You can find the Destiny 2 creators for the buffs and nerfs in the TWAB of November 3, 2022 read.

- Restoration x2 base healing rate reduced from 40 to 32.5 health per second (65 health per second in PvE activities – down from 80).

- Now inflicts a -10 discipline penalty (when equipped).
glow of consolation

Do you enjoy buffs (like a certain passionate Arkusoulen fan in our editorial office)? Are you annoyed by nerfs? Do you also think the invisibility of hunters in PvP is overkill? And which one of you is already looking forward to the new Darkness Focus strand…which we know absolutely nothing about as of yet?
