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.

    These posts will rise in numbers out of the supposed "need" for more Ghorns in teams or out of spite! I completely agree. There's a 10% chance of the intended effect actually happening. Plus, to those who actually believe the LFG was the "main" reason for the nerf are merely true believers. Bungie needs end game content to take longer and boss fights/raids/PoE to take longer. By nerfing Ghorn, they string out the lack luster content for players breezing through it. Even tho it is COMPLETELY counter productive, why did they nerf IB? because it was an easy way to stream through content or take the easy route through. The whole LFG issue (tho viable) is a headline to throw it under to appeal to the community. LFG posters have required this since October. Why call it the worst issue ever 9 months later when the raids are stale?? If they truly had an issue with LFG excluding players from raids, they would have mentioned it or done something when the raids were new, difficult to complete, and arguably "current" for the majority of players.
