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 ;-)

[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]

Important note: the patch hasn't come out yet, we're discussing different outcomes. Who knows what will happen next.

1 ReplyThe issue with this logic is that people already pretty much required a full team of gjallarhorn. People like to make sure the target really really goes down. People can die, be out of rockets etc etc. Still to this day I still see people requiring a full team of gjallarhorn for crota hard. Most people have no clue how many rockets are required to bring him down, they just nuke all they have to make sure. This nerf will make other rockets more viable, not the other way you think. The guys who required 6 gjallarhorn will still require 6 gjallarhorn. And when one day another weapon arise, or build or item or whatever it may be they will require that instead. Weapon balance should not be dictated by threats. This change is a needed change, even if you cannot see it right now.
