Golden Gun Buff?

Edit: If you comment before reading the entire OP I will kill you. I am absolutely in love with the Hunter Class, particularly the Gunslinger. But, it seems to me that Golden Gun is drastically underpowered compared to other class' supers. There are many instances where it takes all three bullets to kill one enemy, whereas Nova Bomb and Fist of Havoc could one shot that enemy and then some. Seriously, a level 28 hunter should not need to waste all three bullets on one level 24 Fallen Captain. Scoring critical hits with a sniper rifle vastly outdamages Golden Gun and is accessible to every class. I am of the opinion that Golden Gun should one-shot all non-boss/major/ultra enemies and significantly damage enemies it does not one-shot. If it were up to me I would bump up GGs damage around 50% and give it the ability to score precision damage. Edit: Since people never bother checking the tags, I am requesting a buff for the purposes of PvE only. GG works perfectly fine in PvP and any buff to it would be redundant because its a one-shot-kill anyway.

  • I support this fully. Buffing it would hurt the apparently all powerful and cater to their every whim PVP community at all. Since all of the recent patches have hurt the PVE experience in someway for the sake of PVP balance, this would be a nice nod to the PVE side that they aren't forgotten. Giving precision damage to the golden gun would be a nice solution. For example, in the normal raid, with time's vengeance activated my hunters golden gun does between 1500-2400 damage per shot to Aetheon depending on range. My un-leveled Ice breaker on the other hand will do upwards of 10-12K damage per critical hit. This fact reduces my supposedly long range specialty as a hunter to clearing supplicants out instead of Bungies stated role of precision ranged damage to bosses. -Nox
