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.

  • If they didn't want the elitism on the LFG sites how about increase the drop rate or just have XUR sell it. Why nerf a primarily PVE weapon, when the outcome is going to cause the opposite affect of why it was nerfed in the first place?
