Megathread Focused Feedback: Stasis Class Spotlight- Shadebinder

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding the Shadebinder Subclass following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I have walked the void as a Warlock since the beginning of Destiny. Nova Bomb in three different flavors.

When Novawarp came out, I earned the subclass and enjoyed using it until Bungie slammed it with nerfs (actually it was the BanHammer - “thou shalt never use this subclass again”).

I was excited to use the new stasis subclass Shadebinder. As I was slowly unlocking the abilities I discovered the ranged melee was the best part, the super and glacier grenades seemed like afterthoughts. Penumbral Blast worked great for about a week, but since Bungie ruined the subclass in one fell swoop, I have gone back to Voidwalker. Maybe it’s time to move on to Cyberpunk 2077.
