According to the [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Hotfix---10142014/en/News/News?aid=12283]1.0.2.2 patch notes[/url], the Vex Mythoclast received a 34% base damage nerf.
While many people felt that 34% is too harsh of a nerf, the Mythoclast actually recieved a near 50% damage nerf.
Before the patch, [url=http://i.imgur.com/7ogECuN.jpg]the weapon did 45 damage at point-blank range in the Crucible[/url] ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ7U7rV47PA]source video[/url]). There are countless YouTube videos that exist that can verify this.
After the patch, [url=http://i.imgur.com/bmuwydj.jpg]the weapon does 23 damage at point-blank range in the Crucible[/url] (my image). This is verifiable in game.
This is nearly a 50% damage nerf, which is quite of a lot larger than the already controversial 34%.
I have not recorded PvE damage numbers but they seem to reflect this.
I am not giving an opinion on the nerf. I am merely presenting facts.

Of course they lied. I bet the CEO is cackling manically as we speak, while stroking his evil cat and weeping blood. You see, Bungie; being one of the most successful gaming companies out there, know that straight up lying about easily verifiable data is the best policy, because they stand to gain the satisfaction of pulling the wool over the eyes of their customers, and nothing else, but whatever... ...and since hash tags are the latest thing... #sarcasm #thinkbeforeyourant
