I play destiny ALOT! I have had 3 different accounts with 6 characters so far and I've had gjallarhorn on all of them, it's been by my side since I got the game! And I know for almost all of us when the nerf came it was heart breaking :( BUT I have an idea!!!
This idea would not completely come full circle till year 3 dropped tho :(
Anyways you might be wondering what this plan could possibly be!!? Well I'll tell you right after this break!!
Ha gotcha the idea is to have bungie make a legendary gjallarhorn put in the game but the name is different obviously, but the description should read "Fear not little wolf, One day they will ignore you no longer. For your time is almost upon them."
So this legendary version would basically be a gjallarhorn but beat up broken (not really meant for pve or pvp, more of a trophy weapon) it would have the same perks as the gjallarhorn but they will not work correctly, the tracking would stop tracking half way to the target, the Wolfpack rounds (or wolfcub rounds) have a 75-90% chance to detonate and a 50/50 chance to actually track there target!
You might think this is pointless so far but the description is basically a clue that in year 3 they will bring the gjallarhorn back and make it a year 3 Exotic and they would rebuff it to its original power pre-buff so to say. Now having the legendary version would allow you to be able to get gjallarhorn without hunting it for a year! What I mean is if you have the legendary version when year 3 drops banshee will summon you and in exchange for the legendary version he would give you a quest! The quest could go something like
Step 1: Prove your worth
Get 100 kills with a rocket launcher (debatable)
Step 2:
Return to banshee
Step 3: Show your might
Defeat the Templar,
Defeat 5 gorgons
Defeat Atheon
Step 4:
Return to banshee
Step 5: Revenge
Defeat ir yut
Defeat Crota
Step 6:
Return to banshee
Step 7: The father of thy enemy
Defeat the warpriest
Defeat golgoroth
Defeat the daughters of oryx
Defeat the taken King
step 8:
Return to banshee
Step 9: Endurance
Complete 10 strikes
Step 10: strength of the pack
Get 20 rocket kills in crucible
Step 11: the comeback
Return to banshee
Step 12: beaten and broken.
Enter the twilight gap and hunt for a broken gjallarhorn
Step 13:
Return to banshee
Step 14:
Bring banshee 1 exotic shard
50 weapon parts
10k glimmer
Your blood sweat and tears from grinding (a joke)
Step 15: Alpha wolf
Return to banshee to become the alpha wolf and obtain your gjallarhorn (buffed back to its normal damage)
I know that sounds like a lot of work and grinding for anyone to do but the most powerful weapon should be earned through your will and love of the game and not received by some lucky drop.
Let me know what you guys think!
Edit #1 Bringing the gjallarhorn back would not benefit you at all in the Kings fall raid.. It would be more of a "let's go mess around and do some strikes" kind of weapon.. Gjallarhorn would be a disadvantage at all bosses in the Kings fall raid.

No, at least not to its original power. LFG was broken with it. Oh, you don't have Gjallerhorn? You can't join this raid/strike/whatever.
