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.

  • ok i agree we should not nerf ghorn just cause some 8 year old that dont have it cant get it after playing since day one. an obvious solution would be to increase the drop rate of ghorn or to have xur sell it once more. nerfing it to deal reduced damage is only going to start an uproar from userd who do have it. like it already has in players who do and DONT have it. players who DONT have it dont want it nerfed because if it deals less damage it going to cause less damage and that means for them they may not have a spot on their normal raid/poe team and will have to find others to help and then those other wont want to help because they will be looking for others with a ghorn. So nerfing ghorn will cause uproar from both sides of this equation. i say increase drop rates of the ghorn or have xur sell it one more time. no matter what you do one side of the equation will be unballanced bungie. some solutions have more balance than others...... but leaving gjallarhorn as is will be the most balanced thing there is possible. increasing drop rate will also keep things more balanced. dont let some fanboys push ypu into something that will mess with the whole balance of the gameworld of destiny. it's not worth it just to make them happy
