So, with black hammer coming back, many people have already realized something; what's the point of black spindle now? An exotic carbon copy of a legendary item? No one's wasting an exotic slot if there's a legendary equivalent.
The solution is simple. Leave black hammer in post nerf state. Buff black spindle to be what the original black hammer was; a beast with infinite ammo. Spindle then clearly has something that makes it exotic. And you won't have the old raid strategy of "shoot all your gally rounds at it, then hit it with black hammer for the rest of damage phase". If people wanna use gally, they have black hammer with a limited amount of ammo. If they use spindle with infinite ammo, then no other exotics for them.
Makes it only slightly op,which is kinda what the age of triumph seems to be going for anyway.
If you support this, try and get it tending so bungie MIGHT see it and MIGHT consider it.
Tl/dr; give black spindle infinite ammo, leave black hammer with limited ammo.
Edit 1; wow, trending. Think that's a first for one of my posts.
Edit 2; well, the live stream answered it, no black hammer. Pretty disappointing. Thanks everyone who supported this idea.

Why would Bungie use this fantastic idea when they could just be lazy and make yet another item worthless?
-
It was great for war priest and the sloth. Now it's vaulted. I miss the spindle of blackness.
-
This is exactly what I thought of, I agree 100%, anyway thares not too many bosses we need to pump constant rounds into anymore since most bosses are more fragile but more dynamic
-
they could always just leave them with the same perks, just move the blackhammer to a different damage profile.

What happens if the hammer dosent come back.
-
Edited by RPColten: 3/17/2017 8:10:53 PMThis is assuming that all of the old and outdated raid weapons are being brought forward.
-
This is also assuming they bring all the classic raid weapons back. We know mythoclast is coming, we don't know what else is.
-
This is exactly what should have been done with the Spindle/Hammer when they first came out with the Spindle. Make the exotic have the exotic perk while the Hammer has the legendary perk.
-
That's how Spindle should've been from the beginning! Great post.

*Pre Nerf of black hammer* "Yeah Black hammer has the power of an exotic so before ttk come out we are going to nerf its perk." *TTK comes out with Black spindle, which has the power of a legendary* WHERE TF IS YOUR LOGIC BUNGO!?!?
-
I miss old black hammer. Amazing for year 1 nightfalls with solar burn.
-
who said black hammer is coming back?
-
Yaaas

I really really like your idea... Itd be cool... But, it would be broken for anything with a huge crit spot.. ie: Sepiks, warpriest, golgoroth.... So... Knowing that... Bungie prolly wont allow it. We can be hopeful though... The more likely scenario is they will give it the same DPS as event horizon but with the cool crota theme which would allow Black Spindle to remain King of Snipers when it comes to DPS.
-
Who says all the old raid weapons are coming back? I havnt watched the streams so I'm not sure but I had the feeling only certain guns like fate bringer n mytho were coming back.
-
It was actually the first thing I thought of last week when they officially announced that the old raids were going to be brought up to current light. I can see then nerfing Hammer even more to make Spindle the only option.
-
I mean, none of the bosses are bullet sponges that you just sit and snipe for 5 minutes straight anymore so why not? Icebreaker needs some competition anyway.
-
Why do I see Triple Tap replacing White Nail on Black Hammer...
-
Great idea. 👍🏻👍🏻
-
-
Dude you had me up until "It makes sense" Ergo bh will come back as it was because Bungo is too lazy to make the change Bs will become another useless exotic Period end of story
-
We don't know if Black Hammer is confirmed to return. There's no need for it to return if Black Spindle exists.
-
They could give black hammer a five round magazine and triple tap. Or maybe do that to black spindle?
