Destiny 2 Hunter mains beg Bungie to revert nerfed fan-favorite Exotic Following Destiny 2\u2019s mid-season patch that saw Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine heavily nerfed, Hunter mains were forced to stop using it in PvE and are now begging Bungie to revert the changes. On October 17, 2023, Bungie hit a series of Exotic armor pieces with various nerfs primarily aimed at balancing PvP. Amongst these was Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine, a Hunter Exotic that enhances Tripmine Grenades. These were the nerfs given to Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine: Reduced the Tripmine Grenade\u2019s increased HP to 70 (down from 100) and removed the bonus 50% damage resistance. – Grenade energy is now provided on ability kills instead of damage with abilities. – The big change here was that Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine now only rewards grenade energy on final blows rather than damage. This heavily nerfed it in PvE content, especially against tankier enemies. These proposed changes weren\u2019t initially popular and they haven\u2019t grown on players since either. Destiny 2 Hunters want YAS nerf reverted Appealing to Bungie to make the change one Reddit post begged \u201cBungie pls revert the YAS nerf,\u201d looking to get Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine back to where it was before the mid-season update. The post continues to explain that they found YAS \u201cso much fun in pve,\u201d before it was nerfed while it now is hard to justify using. Many others agreed with OP with one such player commenting: \u201cYAS still works on pvp but its horrible in pve, they butchered it in both sides of the game but the damage dealt to it by bungie feels worse in pve.\u201d \u201cThe build wasn\u2019t even crazy broken in pve either. It was just good in low\/mid tier content and struggled a lot in harder stuff. The nerf really does feel like a gut punch,\u201d another Guardian responded questioning why Bungie hit the Hunter Exotic so hard. The desire for Young Ahamkara\u2019s Spine to be relevant again is apparent in other replies including \u201cI basically don\u2019t play Solar Hunter in PvE anymore now which is sad because it was my favorite with YAS,\u201d and \u201cI miss yas so much.\u201d It\u2019s not unheard of for Bungie to revert nerfed Exotics with Renewal Grasps being nerfed in Season 17 but later reverted in Season 22 after the once meta Stasis Exotic fell behind the power curve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
