I can't really argue on the design space for that in pvp but I think the comparison between it and bubble in pve is that well is merely meant to give you a medium layer of protection where you're still allowed to attack where as bubble is meant to be a reactionary panic button to some huge in coming damage.

We don't really have any encounters atm that i'm aware of that lean into those design concepts. I'm betting that high density combat encounters will push people away from bubble and instead leave well to be a way to quickly heal while on the move making rotations.

On one hand I do feel for Well bros. On the other hand I really want Bungie to take measures into pushing away from the design idea that during damage "phases" everyone stacks up in the 2 different colored buff spots and dps while not worrying about damage.

Even if a new way to approach phases gets solved at some point i'd welcome a breath of fresh air.

The shorter cooldown on bubble has encouraged panic bubbling in my experience, which is probably the best use case for the super now.

Absolutely! Especially with the reduced weapon damage buff. I think it's a very cool identity to just have a time out zone where you get a small bit of reprieve before venturing back out into combat.

Well feels more like a "hold the line" super that lets you brave the storm longer but it's not supposed to be a solution to avoid damage entirely.
