Can someone seriously justify the Black Hammer nerf?
I really don't see why this is getting nerfed at all. Who can convince me? It makes no sense...
-
10 RepliesIt makes since to me because when you sit there and land 3 critical hits and then you get three bullets from the void, it makes no sense. It's more logical that those 3 bullets come from your inventory.

5 RepliesA sniper with infinite ammo? That's not even an exotic? Something had to be done

I do think the blackhammer nerf was a bit on the harsh side here is why I don't think it matters. Given how much they're changing for ttk and how mmo type games typically deal with expansions, my money is on not being able to ascend non-exotics to year two strength. If this is the case blackhammer will be obsolete anyway. If they do allow further ascending then they may bring back the nerf a little. Ttk is still a long way away.

#Dontscrewthehammer is a petition to make sure that our dear weapons stay at the power it is! Cum on bungie, the thorn and g horn were enough, but now black hammer, last word, and felwinters! And ice breaker! Bungie must find it in your heart to forgive the weapons, and let the epic ness live on! I actually don't mind the shot package.. Share the idea with the Hashtag #Dontscrewthehammer this hashtag goes for any gun you do not want nerfed!

I'm not real happy about the Black Hammer or Icebreaker nerf, but they are not weapon killers. White Nail still works, it will just use your reserve ammo. With the amount of special that drops, it really isn't that big of a deal. I only use Ice Breaker when I am totally out of everything. Waiting extra time sucks but once again, it doesn't ruin the weapon.

Cause bungie want this to happen

4 RepliesEveryone is all sad but we all know something beast is coming in the new update. They have changed every gun now. The nerf crys all started in October 2014 when everyone was crying they were getting shredded by a vex mythoclast and couldn't get one. Those were the real destiny days.

11 RepliesI assume it is the same reasoning that backs the nerfs to Gjallarhorn, Ice breaker, and Shot guns. They made a lot of content ludicrously simple. Blackhammer is in the same boat. It is an exotic tier perk that probably should not have been there in the first place. Personally, I will be looking for a sniper rifle with Triple tap or replenish to take it's place.

4 RepliesLook they are not nerfing its damage just tweaking the perk
-
11 RepliesIt was a legendary weapon with a perk befitting an exotic weapon.

Weapon balancing fails if a weapon is considered to be the penultimate of its class. Good weapon balancing demonstrates diversity among loadouts, not the same three weapons.

2 RepliesJust ascended it yesterday. Now it's getting nerfed. I knew I should've used my Etheric Light on my LDR, but all of my friends (who don't even have LDR) insisted Black Hammer was better

1 ReplyThey took a highly situational weapon and made it even more useless. The only really great thing about BH was using the White Nail perk on stationary enemies. The reason they hit Ice Breaker was because if you had Ice Breaker and BH, than the BH nerf would not have been as bad because you could swap to IB, wait for it to fully charge, then swap back to BH for a partially refilled magazine in very little time. Now, using that trick will take twice as long. It's like they are intentionally screwing with the players.
-
Oh look, an overused weapon not being used anymore because of a slight nerf
-
I'm betting alot of the PVE nerfs, if not all, were done in lieu of them being able to create meaningfull PVE encounters that can't be cheesed as easily as their past encounters.

Oryx is laughing hard.

2 RepliesNext raid boss will be a stationary target. Well, I think so. That's what springs to me mind thinking of why the nerfed it.
-
Wow...... I am not happy at all with that.... Way to ruin black hammer
-
-
The white nail perk is just an instant reload perk now. The gun is ruined.
-
2 RepliesIt was used WAYYYYY too often in endgame content. Used so much to the point that one was punished for not having it. Now, everybody runs out of ammo as normal (unless you have Ice Breaker). I have it. Im not mad.

1 ReplyEdited by TnT o0: 7/17/2015 1:13:55 AMyea. infinite ammo and quick dps it makes a lot of boss (tank) fights absolutely trivial i dont like the nerf, but i can understand why bungie did it
-
Yeah, now I don't really want to farm Crota for it as much.
-
its prob because it made you go through things quicker and bungie wants you to spend as much time on going forward and backwards through a map. There is no reason for this nerf since no one abuses black hammer in PVP and it seemed pretty balanced and rewarding for a good sniper in PVE. Maybe they nerfed it so you'll feel like some ttk snipers can take its place.
-
The nerf sucks in my opinion. White nail perk takes away from your reserve ammo. That's lame lol
