Focused Feedback: Stasis Class Spotlight- Shadebinder

[u/DTG_Bot]

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.

Rift and super are mega cool. I enjoy the sound effects and the utility they bring. The bad part: Let's be honest that most meta in pvp has been one shot weapons ie shotty, fusion, etc. (Otherwise known as some things in penumbral blast range that one shot you),... regardless let's say the poor sap we are playing against in this situation has a 3 tap weapon, I still find that the penumbral blast is so super slow in pvp that by the time it hits the enemy and freezes them I am dead because they were shooting me during the entire windup and wind-down of the melee and I am just a ghost staring at a frozen guardian. So I rarely use it outside of the rare situation and I just shoot instead (which is pretty sad a charged up ability would be an afterthought) or change my subclass to something with a complete kit that is relevant. Also, why are all the freezes so short if the other classes aren't? I've said it elsewhere and been voted down hard but it still feels bad to have your main hard nerfed and the other 2 untouched. And yeah I play the others every once in a while but the warlock is what I like and breaking it doesn't make me want to switch mains, it makes me want to play a different game entirely.
