Sniper inventory reduced by 5-7 shots. That's freaking huge!
Let's talk math(exciting I know lol)
If I have 23 rounds max on my stillpiercer, with boots on and all.
For simplicity sake let's say to a pve boss I do a flat 1000 per hit.
23x1000=23000
Now with hit to ammo lets use avg and say 6 rounds removed
18
17x1000=17000
That is a 26% reduction in potential damage (over a quarter)
That's horrible, and a bad call please bump and comment maybe someone will see this
Edit, I have never trended before so thanks to all
Edit 2, near 1500 replies thanks I've never had over 20 before lol so thanks to all and be careful out there in the update

Perhaps Bungie would just like to choose all of our weapons before each crucible map for us.
-
My 1k yard stare has triple tap and casket mag. That's 7 shots without reloading, 3 of which not from my reserve ammo. On top of that I can run sleeper simulant, so DPS isn't going to be a big deal for me :)
-
As much as there will probably be different ways to complete it this annoys me more than any nerf so far, even the ones to icebreaker and Gjallarhorn. This just feels like an insult, even though i'll still play it this just pisses me off and feels unneeded.

Noooo it's okay because there's more special drops, right? Right? Oh wait it's not okay.
-
The thing that really pisses me off is the fact that one of the people that was interviewed on the livestream said "We don't normally nerf a weapon because it is popular, but we felt we should nerf 1k stare". They didn't nerf it because of the whining pvp bitches (there are some respectable pvp players, but this applies to the kids that blame every mistake they make on a weapon or something "OP"), they simply nerfed it because they can.

Its def hard to not be negative about this. And most everything else.
-
Rip omolon snipers
-
Slap on sniper rifle ammo gear and boom you're back at it again with the black spindle.
-
I bet they havent even play tested it extensively to make sure that we can still even KILL the bosses!!! Omg bungo plz lolz [spoiler]Satire[/spoiler]
-
looks like u gotta use hawkmoon to kill bosses
-
-
Ever thought they changed it to make these bosses harder too? Use more than a sniper. And Black spindle made things super easy. Now you will need to use primary and heavy as well
-
Oh baby come talk to me
-
You simply cant have a game where your gear goes from PvE to PvP... Otherwise this shit happens. Why cant the code it so you keep your ammo in PvE... seriously... it shouldn't be that hard
-
Lets just hope Sleeper Simulant doesn't ricochet off the Warpriest/Golgoroth and hit us in the face.
-
Touch of malice with a blessing bubble, it's actually a pretty good way to take down the bullets sponge
-
-blam!-in yeah HAWKMOON
-
-
Is this a joke?
-
it's a stupid and unessesary change. pve and pvp should be separate. at least ammo capacity should be.
-
Every time a weapon balance comes out, everyone suddenly becomes a mathamagician
-
So basically what you are saying is...that if you reduce the total ammo you can carry by 25% then you reduce your highest potential damage by 25%? That makes no sense at all...must be some of that new common core math.
-
You can switch to another gun and shoot. Do you got any idea how much damage the Sleeper Simulant has?
-
If you don't have boots, 1k stare carries 16 rounds. -7. Minus 7 more for the special 1knerf. That means 2 rounds?
-
Snipers and Shotguns are probably in their worst season yet. The ammo drought will be for real. I just want to know where this "battle rifle" that Deej and the Nerf Lord were referring to is. It feels like Bungie keeps referring to battle rifles as a thing we should have. It's a Halo thing, but we play Destiny. "Don't use a sniper like a battle rifle"
