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.

  • All i know is that the same people who want to be carried through stuff 1-3 at a time are the same people who complained enough to have this happen. My team was always more than happy to backpack people through every raid, poe, and nightfalls in hopes that they would receive there desired trophies. Now this limits the amount of people we can sherpa through because of a lack of fire power. Sure we can get the confluxes and crota done with 3 ppl but time is always of the essence. If i have to solo left conflux or im the only person who can shoot crota and run distraction bubble then gues what 50% of my team needs the proper gear to handle themselves. Making the ghorn have lower standards isn't the solution bc gues what? The ENEMY still has the same amount life. Thats the issue! The reason we need crutches is to handle the added WEIGHT that goes with CARRYING less experienced players through. If bungie truly wants to end the elitism then treat the relationship in level between adds and guardians mutual! If they can ruin me when im 3 levels below then it should be mutual the other way! Other than that dps is about the time it takes to finish. Get a raid in when you can. If i only have a couple hours then im gonna get the team together thatll do the most the quickest especially if i can only get 3-5 players at that moment. Bungie if you want mentors to teach, train and help then give us back the tools we need to do that! #bungie #mybackhurts
