Destiny 2 Announces Upcoming Ability Updates

Since the start of the Edge of Fate, some abilities have dominated the Destiny 2 meta. Titans and Hunters have largely benefitted from these changes, while most Warlock builds have fallen by the wayside. Bungie is looking to account for the Warlock woes in the upcoming Ash and Iron update. Titans and Hunters are getting changes, but that will be announced at a later date.
