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.

2 RepliesBungie once again adding more artificial obstacles to make the game seem bigger. They're nerfing the Gally because players breezed by every encounter they put up if they had enough. In other words, every encounter they set up is just a massive stationary bullet sponge (the reason why Gally is so good). It will be no different in TTK. That's why they nerfed Hammer and Gally, so we wouldn't beat the new stationary bullet sponges with different reskins in 30 minutes but in 1 hour instead. These guys have run out of ideas, if they knew what they were doing they would set up a boss encounter that didn't rely on having a ton of HP to make it difficult. The reason Gally is so popular is because it does the most burst DPS in the game and every end-game boss is simply a stationary enemy with 100x HP. So Gally them. What's the point of using any other weapon? There's none. No one is gonna use a Necrochasm to down Rockets Face because it takes a billion bullets to do so. In the meantime, a few rockets and he's already at half HP. Bungie needs to get this through their head: design levels where end bosses are not simply shoot them in the face and it will go down eventually. Because this is why Gally is king. But of course they take the easy way out and just nerf what is a very nice weapon.
