Nerfing Gjallarhorn will lead to extreme elitism

Bungie nerfs Gjally, Gjally still reigns supreme. Gjally does less DPS, so it'll become more relevant, since everyone in your fireteam will need one to output as much DPS as possible. More and more posts with Gjally only will emerge on LFG. JOB WELL DONE BUNGIE! Or am I missing something? @Deej or @Cozmo : you're reading this? Elitism will prevail unfortunately. Go report that back to your game designers ;-) Credits to Skyguy: [quote]Let me make it easy for you, lets say we need 225k damage to kill a boss. Gjally does 9k while other rockets do 6k. Everyone has 5 rockets, so a gjally user would do 45k damage, while a non gjally user will do 30k damage. Right now we need 3 gjally users and 3 different rockets to kill him. Now if we make ghorn do 40k per 5 shots, we'll need 4 gjally users and 2 regular rocket launchers and some extra shots from primary to kill it. Most people would go for the easy way where they don't need to shoot extra shots with primaries, that would mean people would require 5 gjallys to do what could've been done with 3 gjallys in the past.[[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/139323167/0/0/1 Important note: the patch hasn't come out yet, we're discussing different outcomes. Who knows what will happen next.

  • This has happened due to all the elitist LFG posts demanding that you have a gjallarhorn which has alienated the community that does not have a gjally or has one and refuses to join the group. For me this is a close to a cheese or easy option and often doesn't show any skill what so ever. The nerf will bring the other launchers closer to the damage output of the gjallarhorn and in effect should negate the need... For those that are saying it will make the demand worse than it is already and your going to demand it more then I say you need to git gud and stop relying on it as a crutch. Takes the fun out of the game anyway. Serves you all right to be honest...

  • I don't think it'll be that noticeable, people will still spam the crap out of bosses with it regardless

        • And on this day, a bunch of idiots cried out for a video game company lowering the damage of a rocket launcher in a video game. A sad sad day indeed.

          • How about that the nerf shows that you don't need a f*cking gally for every damn thing. Godforbid people use a different weapon.

            • Don't care what others say it will not have that effect at all. People were able to best every piece of Content without being elitist. So now a nerf making a group full a ghorns less effective is going to be more prominent? No just no you are wrong. I get where you are coming from though saying Maybe a group with 4 ghorns before the nerf would now need 6 to do the same dps. I get that, but the the ghorn damage above let's say truth or a heavy machine gun or high impact sniper is now less. I'll say if anything groups will want high impact snipers for alot of content. I think the ghorn buff will be fine depending on how hard it is hit. There will be some groups like you claim, but the overall lfg posts will be cut in half if not by alot more.

            • Basically,lets say it deals 1/2 less damage. So now the damage you do is 1 1/2 units while it used to be 2 units. Since ghorn still reigns dps supreme,people will still want them on their team. BUT NOW,they would want more people with ghorns to compensate the less damage. This leads to increased elitism which isnt what bungie wants. Stupid bungie

                Oh no! How will they ever be able to balance boss health around reduced player DPS? All is lost!

                  • Exactly what will happen. I promise to MAKE DAMN SURE that "Ghalarhorn only" is in every post. And if you don't have it, you will not be on my fireteam.

                    • Or.... Peeps will be able to use different RL'ers without being chastised. I've never had a Gally (yet) and a part of me is a bit bummed that I won't be able to first hand, use that power but in the end, I come out of this unaffected. I will adapt to whatever nerf/buff they come up with due to the masses crying "it isn't fair." I've completed all the raids, I get through PoE just fine, I'll still use my BH as much as I ever have because it's strength hasn't been buffed, and if I ever get good at crucible, nobody can say I used Thorn as a crutch

                      • I actually liked knowing when people required a Gally. I refused to play with those type of players. Now I can't pick them out as easily. Feels like I got Deej'd with no lube.

                      • Less DPS, more relevant. There's a flaw in your logic there man :P Less DPS means closer to other heavy weapons which means less reason to give up your primary/special slot for a heavy exotic.
