Is Divinity an elite weapon that deserves to be protected for the few that own it? Or a tool for the masses to even the playing field of raid boss DPS? But then others say nerfing Divinity is an affront to more casual players who cannot have perfect precision aim and so they can aim at that giant crit spot and slam a debuffed boss for a one-phase. Some people are saying that nerfing Divinity would be a disservice to those who worked hard to get their own copy of the powerful raid weapon, an elite prize that is worthy of its power. I keep seeing arguments that don’t even make sense when said together. If anyone is an absolute expert on DPS metas it’s him, and what he’s saying about returning the skill gap to high end boss encounters is not wrong, nor do I think it’s “elitism” or “gatekeeping.” You want to burn bosses quickly like the pros? What if I told you the reason bosses have amassed as much health as they have at this point (hello Warpriest) is in part because things like Divinity exist? I do not understand the pushback against Salt specifically as the delivery mechanism here (trust me, if I brought this up first, I’d be considered “too casual” to say what raid DPS mechanics should be nerfed). Or at the very least, it’s worth a conversation like the one Salt is having here. But again, it’s been three years since Divinity arrived, and yes, it’s probably time to shake up DPS phases by making it not feel mandatory in most situations. In this case probably a Hunter tether to debuff the boss. It's true that when you nerf one thing, other things will rise to take their place. In the case of Divinity, ever since the weapon’s introduction in Garden it has become an almost essential part of most DPS phases for bosses if you want to do them “efficiently” and with that much usage, yes, I believe it’s something that needs to be looked at (and in fact, Bungie said ages ago they were looking at Divinity, so any changes will not come as a result of Salt’s comments here, as some are suggesting).
