Can someone seriously justify the Black Hammer nerf?
I really don't see why this is getting nerfed at all. Who can convince me? It makes no sense...
-
Bc it and Icebreaker trivialize PVE content, and Bungie can't come up with creative ways to make the encounters challenging and dynamic than simply making things bullet sponges. So...gotta remove the weapons that counter those dynamics to bring back the challenge.

2 RepliesI think I read that it would have 18 rounds, wouldn't that be enough for the grav tank? Maybe one synth for a walker?

1 ReplyI'll answer your question with a question and then make an assumption. Is using the current black hammer fun? Assuming you said yes then that is your answer. Everything that makes end game content fun is nerfed by Bungie. They hate fun. The first thing they did to make the game fun was make shotguns awesome in pve. They're altering that now. You have guns like icebreaker, gjallarhorn, and black hammer that make endgame content a lot of fun to play, and fun isn't what Bungie is about anymore.

Bungie made the game like that, now they want to make it like this. It's their game they get to do whatever they want. We just pay to play...or not.

1 ReplyMy guess is that the current white nail perk is more of an exotic perk then a legendary.

10 RepliesYou shouldn't be able to stand with BH and stun the boss constantly until they die. It's too easy.
-
They could have handled it better for sure. You can probably get more damage in with a high impact sniper with final round and special weapon reloaded gloves.
-
It takes the difficulty out of all boss fights
-
Because it was more powerful in pve than any other sniper. Everything is meant to be balanced somewhat, and it was just too good. I think it was a little too much, but it was still a well deserved nerf.
-
Reason: amazing and made people happy and feel worthwhile and powerful. Justified? No.

1 ReplyEdited by Amusing Spank: 7/19/2015 7:32:24 PMOf all the nerfs announced for TTK, this is the one that annoys me the most. The ONLY thing that makes the Black Hammer any good at all was the White Nail perk, earning free ammo without having to reload, and they're basically making it useless, by making it simply an instant reload from the ammo you already have. There's absolutely no point to the BH now when you can just use any one of the snipers that max out at 6 shots and can hold more ammo.

Black hammer is better than any other sniper on slow bosses like servitors, tanks, and walkers. Certainly better than ice breaker - not even close. Agree or disagree, if they're nerfing ice breaker to discourage sniping an entire fight, it's at least consistent to nerf black hammer too. I will miss it though.
-
Kills bosses too quickly, and too easy. Simple ;)
-
Artificially extend play-time of TTK.
-
I'm guessing it's because when killing a walker or something everyone just hangs back and it's over in seconds
-
Cause they cray. Should have just made the gun exotic.
-
6 RepliesTo everyone who says because white nail is an exotic level perk - well now we have, a SOLAR SNIPER THAT DOESNT HAVE SHIT ON ICE BREAKER, HAS A CRAP SPECIAL PERK THAT DOES NOTHING BUT SAVE YOU FROM RELOADING WHEN THE RELOAD IS ALREADY FAST, A 3 ROUND -blam!-ING MAG, AND MOTHERSHITTING MULLIGAANN!!!!
-
People overusing a niche weapon. Or something.

Edited by zortcommander: 7/19/2015 7:38:25 PMNo. Not at all. This nerf is, in fact, BS. Even with a sniper rifle ammo buff, it would be useless. The white nail perk made it useful. You could chain headshots and still get ammo back in a powerful 3 shot sniper. I would think there may be a sniper that would do that in TTK, but an exotic. It's just my idea, as the white nail perk as it is, is an exotic perk.
-
They nerfed it because it was legendary. The ammo perk was really an exotic perk. A better course of action would have been to make it an exotic, seeing as it's already pretty rare anyways.
-
Clearly the devs have never been pinned down from enemies with infinite ammo and burn on for 30 continues min. So why shouldn't we get to turn the tables every now and then.

6 RepliesIt broke the sandbox. Things that break the sandbox get fixed.

28 Repliesim leaving so i dont mind at all, hav fun playing a broken game that bungie just broke even more itches! ill be over playing GTA V and Far Cry 4

[quote]Exactly, this nerf isn't because "Oh they were causing people without Ghally to exclude others." No that isn't the problem. The problem is, is that those pointless nerfs (AKA Black Hammer and Icebreaker). You want to know why those happened and a decrease in Ghally damage ACTUALLY? The more damage you do to a boss, the quicker it falls. The less damage you do to a boss, it falls slower. You know why it's coming out RIGHT before the taken king and not NOW? It's because when the Taken King comes out we will be playing it longer cause of all these nerfs, causing WAY LESS DAMAGE and more play time.[/quote]

It was better than many exotic weapons
