Strand Changes

  • The changes in patch 7.0.5.0 to make certain mods not stack only apply to grapple melee. This ability is counted as both a grenade and a melee, but it is no longer possible to get the effects of mods that do the same thing to both apply at once. (ex: Ashes to Assets and Hands On)
  • They're generally happy with how Strand is performing.
  • They're making some tweaks in Season 21
  • Grapple
    • Reduced base cooldown from 105s -> 82s
    • Reduced the minimum time between grapple activations from 2.5s -> 0.2s

    • Increased projectile travel range before beginning to return to the player by 30%
    • Slightly reduced speed of the dart as it returns to the player to make catching it easier
    • Increased energy gain for catching the dart based on the number of enemies hit.
    • Now pierces Cabal Phalanx shields.
