When will Dynamo & Distribution be looked into?
They work fine but their Text Descriptions are way too vague & need to be updated badly.
How it works:
- You need to use your Class ability NEAR enemies to get any energy back. If you are not near anything you get nothing.
What the Mods say:
DYNAMO:
Legendary / Armor Perk
Reduces Super cooldown when using your class ability.
Requires 3 VOID energy
DISTRIBUTION:
Basic / Class Item Armor Mod
Reduces all ability cooldowns when using your class ability.
Requires 4 of ANY energy
Nothing about being near an enemy anywhere. They changed it to require enemies way over a YEAR ago now.
Before the Nerf:
- You could cast your Class Ability anywhere to get the CD Reduction.
After the Nerf:
- You must be near an enemy when using your Class Ability or you will not get any Cooldown Reduction.

Edit: I bring this up yet again because it never seems to get recognized by anyone at Bungie.
New players have no idea using their Class Ability while not surrounded gives no energy back unless they thoroughly test it. Even some Veteran Players have forgotten this because of the poor description.
Edit 2: I reformatted the comment to read better. I'm also adding a source of the change made to these.
This change was made on October 30, 2018. It is now, currently, January 23, 2020 & I am still having to explain how these mods actually work to the new members of my Clan every week.
Changed the Dynamo and Distribution perks
- Players will need to activate their class ability in proximity to at least one enemy to gain the benefit.
- Increased the energy gain by 20% to compensate slightly for the new requirement
- Fixed an issue where Dynamo’s effect was not scaling based on the player’s class type; the Distribution perk had this, but it was unintentionally left out of Dynamo
This quite literally requires a simple text edit to get rid any confusion.
Using just Distribution as example, just change it to something like, "Reduces all ability cooldowns when using your class ability while near atleast 1 enemy."
Edit 3: I'm really just asking for some feedback on these descriptions to finally to be passed along. I am quite sorry if it comes off as rude or upset but I've been pounding this issue for over 3 months myself with no recognition anywhere online from Bungie. My forum posts on the official Support forum are so old I can't even find them to link anymore.
