Rip gjallarhorn 9/15/2015

Before you read this isn't a salty post. I'm just holding a mourning for a great formation of pixels. Gjallarhorn. That word means something to every destiny player. The words might be different, but everyone respects that guns power. We all also remember our first raid. Whether it ended in victory or defeat, shards or exotics, shaders or armor, we remember it. After that more raids. And more and more and more. Many of us chasing one elusive weapon... Gjallarhorn. I think that gjallarhorn is more then an exotic launcher to most players. It's saying I've been there, I've done that and I got this. But soon it will be forgotten. Gjallarhorn will not be getting a damage bonus in ttk. It will probably never get another damage bonus. Ever. As all year one players we have to remember the legacy of the ghorn. The jokes, the two weeks he sold it, even smoggypluto. Because it is part of us. In some time many will never know about the ghorn. They will have never felt it's power, and it's beautifulness. Soon the ghorn will be a thing in the past, forgotten and broken. But I don't want that. Not one bit. So I'm asking all of you. Squeaker to 101 years old. Protect the legacy of ghorn. I want to kill a raid boss in year ten and pull out a old, formally gold and white rocket, and fire it at the sky in triumph. I want the sky to be lit afire by the Wolfpack. That's what it means to be legend. Tldr: -blam- you read it. Edit: so far the kill count of my tldr is two. I would like everyone to call rain a scrub for the rude things he said Emergency edit 2: I'm not salty at the ghorn being nerfed, I just want people to remember the gun fondly.

    Just a little heads up, I don't think Gjally will be dead... Reasoning: let's just pretend this 280 for Y2 is BASE damage and it can be upgraded to 320 (crazy number for arguments sake) and let's just pretend 160 is as high as Y1 will go (which it isn't - either going to be 172 or 190) Here's the math for that: 9 pieces of gear at 320 a piece = 2,880 1 Y1 weapon at 160 + 2880 = 3040 3040 / 3200 (10 pieces of gear at theoretical max light) = .95 exactly Meaning even with my absurd unlike scenarios on a worst case bases, Y1 weapons in combined with 9 other max light gear is a 5% hit to overall damage. This is because damage is no longer calculated based on the attack value of the weapon alone, but your overall average that goes into your Light.
