Before the nerf, the vex mythoclast killed in 4-5 shots to the BODY, no headshots required. Now with the nerf, it'll be a 7 shot kill to the body. But, the headshot multiplier has been increased by 20%. So what has bungie actually done here with the gun? They've made it to where it now requires some skill by the user to kill people with the weapon. Before the nerf, the gun required no skill to use and could kill in less than a second without any headshots. After the nerf, you just need to land 2 headshots(which shouldn't be hard to do because that scope is beautiful) and 2-3 body shots to kill someone under ONE second. I don't mind the nerf, because now I can use the weapon without feeling like a complete a-hole:)
