listen, those are great points. I disagree only because I don't agree, I'd that makes sense. if they xured the gjallarhorn, many people would have it, but you would then have more people able to use more weapons and not being the gjallarhorn guy.
for example, i have a 331 ice breaker. when we run crota, I'm usually in boomer duty. I'd like to ever not be. I'd like to run the sword, or dps the swordbearer. but i can't because so few people have the ice breaker.
we can drop crota with primaries; I can hit him very hard with the hunger (maxed), so gjallarhorn isn't necessary, per se, but it is nice. if more people had the ice breaker, then i could more often play other roles in my fire team. this holds especially true in nightfalls and weeklies when ammo never drops (brain fart, can't remember that skull). i end up being the only one doing consistent damage because people are ruining out of ammo.
yes, gjallarhorn is wicked. yes, I desperately want one. I'd max that mother out in a weekend; I have rocket telemetry waiting, gathering dust. i don't think they should keep xur from selling it. but they could make it 23 coins instead of 17. or only sell the 300 variety. ppl would bitch, but then again, when don't they, lol...

Well said and agree mostly. But I also haven't had problem using other sniper rifles for boomers. I think the black hammer works the best. The iron banner sniper with field scout works very well too.

My dead orbit sniper with firefly works great against boomers if I want to use my mytho or thorn in CE. There are some legendarys that can handle boomer duty

yeah, i imagine the black hammer would. is the ammo thing, primarily. I've survived and done well without the gjallarhorn, but I'd like to be more versatile... maybe try my hand at a solo crota.
