Zen Meteor Stealth Nerf!!!!!!!
Id like to start this by saying zen meteor has been my go to sniper since its release. It shares the highest impact archetype like black spindle as many of you may know. After the recent nerfs to sniper damage I thought I would be unaffected because my precious meteor was not in the same impact archetype as 1k stare. I couldnt be more wrong. I will like to share with you my findings:
Pre-Nerf Zen Meteor:
-Headshot Damage (PvP): 334 Damage to the head with an unseeable amount of explosive round damage.
-Bodyshot Damage (PvP): 84(regular)+84(explosive) = 164 Total Damage
Post-Nerf Zen Meteor:
-Headshot Damage (PvP): 303 Damage to the head with an unseeable amount of explosive round damage.
-BodyShot Damage (PvP): 76+76= 152 Total Damage
Post Nerf Damage Reduction:
-9.3% Headshot Damage Nerf
-9.52% Bodshot Damage Nerf
-Playtesting against a max armor (without ram) non-radiant skin sunsinger shows that zen meteor can no longer 1 shot kill supers.
-Considering that the 1k stare archetype only recieved 6% damage nerf this is significant. Only black spindle (currently) can reliably one shot supers.
Bungie completely neglected to mention the fact that this nerf was implemented ON A -blam!-ING EXOTIC. And that alone is unacceptable. Enough with the stealth nerfs already we are sick of this shit.
Edit: Before I hear anymore people saying that it is the 1k stare archetype take your time to watch this video: https://youtu.be/wXbn1c33kzA

11 RepliesZen meteor has the same archeotype as the 1k-stare and that archeotype got nerfed. It used to do 418 critical damage since the explosive rounds always add 1 more damage but after the nerf it only does critical 389dmg and normal snipers of the same archeotype does critical 388dmg That's it whole sniper archeotype got nerfed and zen belongs in to that archeotype so naturally the nerf includes it too. So no longer can you one shot from supers with that archeotype of snipers, only the highest impact can, the black spindle impact. Efrideet impact everyone remembers efrideets spear?;)
