That still doesn't explain the fact that BH was overpowered. It wasn't. It's called being a niche gun. It was at its best against bosses (because most of them are your dull stationary fatties with huge crit spots) but useless anywhere else. You mention it being broken in PvE. Where? Against a dragon strike fallen walker? LMAO. You will down that in minutes either way. It just helped speed the process for crappy rewards. Where else? Atheon maybe? He goes down in 5 minutes regardless of having BH or not. So where was the Hammer broken really? Against the 2 instances of the fallen walker in the whole game? Against dragon strike bosses that players go through maybe 5 times a week? So they nerfed it because players shaved off 10-15 minutes from playing time. They're that desperate. They can't make content that isn't inherently challenging, they just proceed to nerf weapons that are too good at beating their dull content. Hammer wasn't broken. It was niche and it was very good at its niche. Now it is absolutely worthless.
