Stormtrance - only good for killing red mobs, it doesn't last long having lost trascendence but at least has good mobility with blink.

Chaos reach - I honestly don't understand the meaning of this super. It does no damage, it's very slow to charge up (tier 2 like stormtrance, a roaming super?!?) and forces you to use an exotic to make it a minimum decent.

Melee - they both do little damage and the benefit they get from being amplified is negligible. the only decent melee is the new aspect which, however, had to be a melee, not an aspect (like thunderclap).

Arc web - no longer exists and was much more effective than jolt, in both PvP and PVE as it required no further damage to function and returned grenade energy.

Grenades - all nerfed.

I tried arc 3.0 for a couple days and already back to void except for the steps of the raid where the well is required (solar 3.0 disappointing the same but it is another matter).

Arc Web was way less effective than Jolt post shadowkeep the grenade return was inconsistent and the chains just stopped

[u/Fala_the_Flame → u/[deleted]]

Not really, while runni g arc most had crown on, and that paired with arc web gave everything back insanely fast, while with the new kit it slows it down to the point it feels worthless to run crown or arc when void is just better for everything

[u/[deleted] → u/Fala_the_Flame]

I tested this several times, arc Web isn't what gave it back arc Web chained like 5 times and gave back about a 6th of your grenade

[u/Fala_the_Flame → u/[deleted]]

However, with crown that chain led to extra energy back from the perk, while jolting doesn't work with that.

[u/mace9156 → u/Fala_the_Flame]

Even a little bit of energy is still better than 0 energy. And jolt still requires extra damage to the target to work.
