If you’ve ever played a Warlock in Destiny 2, chances are you’ve had to play Well of Radiance. “Born to Nova, forced to Well” is a common joke in the community due to the Solar Super’s sheer utility, but it’s going to feel drastically different with The Final Shape.

With the new expansion, Destiny 2 developer Bungie is reducing the survivability of guardians in the Well of Radiance, making it much riskier to stand in the healing circle. To compensate, the developers are leaning more heavily on the offensive capability, according to a dev blog today.

The upcoming nerfs are hitting Well of Radiance hard, with a series of changes to its survivability, including healing and damage reduction received while in the area. Damage resistance is being slashed, to just 20 percent against non-boss enemies and only 10 percent damage resistance against bosses, down from the usual 40 percent. Healing per second is also being halved, from 100 HP to 50 HP, the same as two stacks of Restoration.

The tradeoff is that guardians can now move without having to worry about losing their Radiant buff. Leaving the Well itself will grant you Radiant for eight seconds, making guardians more mobile. As a result of the massive changes, the Well can generate an additional Orb of Power within its radius and will heal players for 300 HP when cast.
