Anyone who’s played Destiny’s crucible since the release of The Taken King knows all about the Sunbreaker. It didn’t take long for the community to recognize the newest Titan subclass as the newest overpowered beast in the game’s PvP mode, and since then the Sunbreakers have done their best to make their presence known with those trademark fiery hammers, raining death wherever they go. If you’re dishing them out, it can be a rush. Not so much on the receiving end. We’ve had our fun, however. Bungie just released some notes for their December update, and it looks like Sunbreakers will be getting a nerf:

Ever since their Solar brothers and sisters entered the explosive mix of Destiny with the arrival of The Taken King, they’ve been quite the hot topic of conversation. Even before the first fiery salvo landed in someone’s face, there has been plenty of feedback about our armored friends. While we’re making some adjustments to Sunbreakers in Update 2.1.0, we won’t be leaving Strikers and Defenders out in the cold this winter.

I’m curious to see what the team has in mind for the Titan’s other two subclasses: the Defender is currently one of the best classes in the game for PvE, even if it’s not much good for PvP. I’ve left my striker behind in recent weeks, as well: it’s no longer the Titan’s best PvP class, and it can’t quite hold a candle next to the defender for PvE. Each class seems to have one subclass that’s a little harder to peg: the Bladedancer for the hunter, and the Voidwalker for the warlock. I’d like to see a little balance to give me reason to play around a bit more. Regardless, the Sunbreaker nerf will likely be the biggest news, and hopefully return some balance to the crucible. Until, of course, the next things breaks it and we do this whole dance over again.
