Grapple points were designed primarily as a traversal tool, but “that intention was quickly subverted” by using it for grapple melees, according to Bungie. Due to that opportunity for endless free melee attacks, the developers have a couple of changes in store for those grapple tangles.<\/p>
Instead of refreshing that grapple point’s duration, slinging to that point will only increase its total time in the world, with diminishing returns. You can’t use grapple melee after firing your weapon, either, which makes it easier to understand those deaths in the Crucible and removes One-Two Punch from the equation, according to the blog post.<\/p>
Lastly, the Into the Fray Aspect grants Woven Mail upon destroying a Tangle and increases melee regeneration while the buff is active. The touchup keeps its survivability intact but waters down its bonus to ability uptime. Its melee regeneration scalar will get a 25 percent cut, and that’s before factoring in any other upcoming sandbox changes.<\/p>
The focused changes help rein in Strand Titans’ most overpowered builds while keeping the rest of the element mostly intact, though The Final Shape <\/em>also brings a blanket nerf to Thread of Warding’s duration on Woven Mail from Orb of Power pickups (five seconds, down from 10).<\/p>
