Black Hammer is a legendary gun with an exotic perk.
The gun [b]can't[/b] be exotic because it'll over throw Ice Breaker. So the only way to keep it a legendary weapon is remove its infinite ammo gimmick.

That's situational and mainly on certain bosses.
-
Yes it is situational. So what's the problem with landing 18 critical hits, no reloading, running around/kill adds for more special ammo and repeating?
-
Because now absolutely nothing has changed. Plus the only boss you actually get the chance to land that many consecutive shots us the tank on the Valus strike and even then he's shooting insta kill AOE shots in your direction. It's like you people have never once actually used the gun. You guys are so stupid I'm leaving this thread and never coming back

[quote]Because now absolutely nothing has changed.[/quote] My point entirely! Nothing has changed so there is no reason for people to be upset about the patch. If the full team is using Black Hammers on the tank the tank can still be killed using nothing but BH. Most players have 200+ Special Ammo Synths, so why not use one after taking down the sub-boss? There is absolutely nothing wrong with 2.0 weapon balancing.

And fatebringer/VoC are better PvE weapons than any exotic and free up space for an exotic special/heavy which are more effective on PvE. So?
-
Technically fatebringer didd get nerfed. All Handcannons got hit by the nerf hammer.
-
Indeed, nowhere near as bad as BH tho.
-
Yes indeed, there are guns that are far better for PvE that are legendary. But you're missing the point, Black Hammer [u]is[/u] an exotic thanks to the White Nail perk. Bungie can't just make it an exotic and keep the perk as it is. If Ice Breaker was nonexistent than yes, BH should be an exotic but that's not how it is.

Theoretically raid weapons are exotic grade legendaries as they're supposedly hard to acquire (talking VoG and lighthouse, not the CE/PoE fiasco). Black hammer is a raid weapon and it's perk is highly situational
-
I am highly aware of that, so what is wrong with having to pick up some special ammo to burn a boss with Black Hammer? Nothing.
-
There is nothing wrong with it. But it's unnecessary, it was fine as it was.

Precisely
