Only you need to aim, it has 3 shots instead of 5, has no health regen, has little armor, has a shorter super time and shots have no tracking. Yes, it can shoot cross map, but that's about it.
So I understand why it doesn’t need a buff and Achlyophage Symbiote got a nerf. :-)
EDIT: Reading the reactions I don't think many people get my post. I'm only comparing the supers in a sarcastic way. I'm not comparing the neutral games. Gunslinger has a very fun and good neutral game. I don't know about sunbreakers neutral game. It has great grenades and armor, but I don't know how the rest is.
If you don't use golden gun on a regular basis it's maybe hard to understand what I mean. Where hammer of sol, nova bomb, stormcaller and blade dancer have very forgiving supers (a very big hit box), the golden gun does not have a forgiving super (very small hit box). If you shoot someone in the hand or foot for example with a golden gun that will not count as a kill. If you hit someone in the foot with a hammer, nova bomb, arc blade or stormtrance that guardian will surely die.
Also there is a delay of about half a second between when you shoot someone with a golden gun shot and when that guardian dies. So if you shoot someone and he doesn't die as fast as you would think he would there are 2 options: shoot again and waste your second of only three bullets. Or wait and if he doesn't die you die.
On top of that it is baffling that golden gun does not have either a little armor or some form of health regen after a kill. When I play as a blade dancer I can just jump in between a group of guardians and jam the buttons as fast as I can without looking in the direction of any guardian and I still get kills AND health regen. I don't know why people think blade dancer needs a buff. Never had any problems with it.
On top of that the lag problems Destiny has since day one and Bungie has yet to solve, makes golden gun is very unreliable to use. If your opponent lags and you shoot with golden gun it will not give you a kill. If you do the same with arc blade, a hammer, storm trance, a nova bomb or a fist of panic it will give you a kill.
With the absence of armor and health regen and the amount of lag Destiny provides it should only be fair to give golden gun a slightly bigger hit box and to remove the 0.5 seconds delay between hit and kill. THAT'S my point. I don't advocate a sunbreaker nerf. I never said a hammer = a bullet. Never. They are both roaming solar supers and that's why I compared them. I could've done the same with golden gun and storm trance.

I agree, they should buff fusion rifles.
-
GG is a great super. Instant death and not very hard to aim. I prefer my arc blade though, much more entertaining and blink is fun.
-
I'll trade you hammers on my Titan for your hunters golden gun. How ever don't cry when I hit you first. Can't nerf skill ;)
-
I was actually hoping you are joking...
-
Lol golden is the same as hammer of sol except for these 20 reasons
-
U cant be serious lol id like to see u map someone with a hammer or for christ sakes get someone further than 15 meters out on a consistent basis. Hammers have very slow travel times.... Get real now pls think before u speak
-
I run gg on my hunter. It's fine as it is.
-
GG is strong.
-
If you aren't getting at least 2 kills with every golden gun in a 6v6 playlist then you are doing something wrong
-
I dont thimk you understand just how golden gun is dominant to the sunbreaker
-
If the bullet touches any part of the person, it's a kill. Golden gun doesn't allow precision shots
-
What is wrong with people like you? 1st of all, you have it ass backwards, GG is a point and shoot super with little to no travel time and like infinite range. Idk why you say "instead you have to aim," you literally Point and Shoot, if you miss that's on you. 2nd, HoS is completely different from GG so stop comparing them. With HoS you actually have to focus and aim because we do have travel time for our super as well as an arch when throwing so you can't just Point and Shoot. Don't get me wrong our armor shits on you, but the whole concept of GG not killing a Sunbreaker with a GG Headshot is nothing but lies. I have been on both sides of this fence and I have killed and gotten killed using both HoS and GG, it was very possible to kill a Sunbreaker then, and now it's even easier. Just -blam!-ing Adapt. 3rd and most importantly STOP -blam!-ING COMPLAINING
-
i agree im a gunslinger but imo nova is hardest to get kills lol. Maybe because im not used to it
-
Hahaha youre one of the scrubs that got hammers destroyed. Ever heard of a neutral game? Yea sunbreakers dont have one
-
Severe lag causes laggy gg kill, theres nothing wrong with gg and it doesnt need a buff/nerf AT ALL.
-
I have never had a problem with golden gun as soon as I see someone they are dead unless they are fast enough to snipe my face off. The aim assist with golden is pretty incredible and very forgiving imo. I have a harder time hitting with hammers.
-
Dude so ridiculous. If you can't kill at least 2 people per super with golden gun, that's on you. It's a instakill from anywhere on the map, as soon as visual contact is made. You can't do much better than 2 kills with hammers anymore. Not to mention how OP the neutral game is compared to Sunbreaker... Omg. Don't even get me started. Maybe you are trolling.

Hit scan, rather than travel time. On top of that, you point, look and they're dead. All Sunbreakers have is there super. While Gunslingers have Tripmines and Throwing Knives + Gunslingers Trance. You're literally comparing 1 subclass that is entirely built on the super to 1 subclass whose super compliments its already amazing abilities
-
Golden gun is much better. The range is infinitely more and it's a damn bullet. Travels way faster. You are the type of person that compares a trash man and the president by saying they're pretty much the same thing.
-
Not even close
-
The hammers need to be pretty spot on now too. You can't just randomly throw them, since they don't follow you at all. And they have no splash damage
-
Edited by Bizzerker_Bauer: 2/29/2016 5:01:21 PMHammer of Sol is basically Golden Gun, except it takes WAY more aiming, has flight time, doesn't fly straight, and doesn't have aim assist, and as a result has more shots.
-
GG is way better...for me at least. Sunbreaker is probably my least favorite Titan class tbh.
-
I think gg is fine as is as i main gg in 6v6 but bladedancer gets rekted late in games to other supers. The only problem is the symbiote helmut w the nerfed time--its an exotic w 4 shots but time allows is cut more than half to fire all 4 shots
