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...
-
Because it pretty much made ice breaker extinct hahah. They wabt exotics to be the go to weapon for situations. But since black hammer got nerfed they nerfed ice breaker just as bad..... who knows why. They are the only nerfs i dont understand
-
Yeah it's a legendary with exotic perks! Now it's justified.

3 RepliesBungie makes all bosses into boring, bullet sponges. Bungie introduces a weapon to help deal with boring, bullet sponge bosses. Bungie then nerfs said gun because bullet sponge bosses weren't boring enough. In Destiny, this is what is called "balance."

Because Merica

It's was the same power as an exotic and it was a legendary. That shouldn't be a thing ever
-
Its not an exotic but it preforms like one

I don't see it as needed but just to help cover up the super retarded enemy's in the game oh look an enemy 50 metres away let's all just look at him :/

Unlimited ammo. Not a exotic. And a sniper so you can do it from far away

2 RepliesSo apparently everyone is good enough to get the white nail perk on every boss and it's breaking the game hmmmmmmmmmmm..........I find it to be a very niche gun. Never a go-to sniper. I almost always go to my 365 longbow spray n play field scout final round(no, i have never used a sniper in pvp, i hate pvp) *Fuk John Weisnewski. Hopefully you're ass learns, or is gone by the time the sequel comes out.

Did you see how fast some bosses were going down? It wasn't nerfed because of complaints, it was nerfed because it was a massive outlier to an otherwise [i]mostly[/i] balanced PvE.

Bungee owns the game. We rent guardians for around $9 a month when you break down the pricing. It's not a community. It's more like introducing your boss as your coworker. We say community but it's not.
-
Cause it had an exotic lvl perk that allowed you to permastun bosses
-
Bungie.

My bet is there is a new strike or raid boss that a team with full black hammers will wipe easily. This minor yet influential change may cause a different strategy that would not be used if a fireteam has unlimited sniper ammo.

10 RepliesEdited by hailstone12: 7/18/2015 6:38:55 PMIt was a broken gun. I remember when I first got it I actually thought that it would take ammo from my inventory, since I got it from my first Crota run as soon as TDB released and knew nothing about it, and I was content with that. I upgrade it to White Nail, take it to Devils Lair, get to the Walker, and soon realize it was free ammo. I then proceeded to destroy the Walker in a very short time and then stunlock Sepiks to death in about 1 minute. Nobody likes a nerf, plain and simple. Nobody likes seeing things they have or want being downgraded, because they may not want it now. You can try to justify it all you want, but the Black Hammer was set above every sniper in the game in PvE, and Bungies goal is for a balanced game with variety. PvP people like to complain about things since any gun advantage in PvP can become a major issue, like Thorn, but in PvE, nobody really cares because it's an AI and no real person is getting the bad end of it. I use Black Hammer almost exclusively in PvE events, such as VoG, CE, and PoE because it is so much better than any other sniper against bosses, the hardest enemies you're facing. I hate to see it go, but I understand why it has to.

25 RepliesBecause you could stun lock bosses from cheese locations for as log as you wanted It's better then every special exotic in the game Fact
-
27 RepliesIts because you could sit and disable bosses for long periods of time with the stagger and never run out of ammo....that is quite OP if you ask me. It just makes you have to stop and pick up ammo like everyone else. Any gun that circumvents game mechanics is going to be targeted for nerfs in the future.
-
Because it's 10x better than all other options currently.
-
It isn't necessary. They're just trying to make pve just alittle tougher by not letting us hang back and only snipe
