A shortened counter would be perfect if activation of golden gun gives an invincibility frame like a fist of havoc. Otherwise...hiding before using gun so you don't get killed while activating---> not able to come out of hiding and kill before timer runs out.

U are not invincible while using fist of havoc not even close

Has a proven invincibility frame. Can't argue that.

As I said I think it's fair for everyone. I'm not saying there isn't other issues with other supers. I just saw this video and felt it should be shared.

A 5 second timer with no invincibility frames would make Gunslinger super useless in pvp. 80% of the time your timer would run out before you could get a kill unless you're lucky enough to face an idiot who doesn't shoot at you while you activate. I admit to the overpowered nature of arc blade, but as golden gun is 100% offensive with zero defense buffs or invincibility frames, having a 5 second timer would destroy the functionality of golden gun. As I mentioned before the best way to use GG is to hide while activating then run out, target, and fire. A lot of the time it takes effort finding someone (because destiny maps aren't open plains and tend to have a bunch of obstacles). 5 second timer = having golden gun run out on you while you chase some guy around a large pillar to get a line of sight on him, then follow up by being left in the open without a GG and getting killed by the one you were pursuing or his teammates. I could tolerate all the nerf blade dancer threads, but now that it's carrying over to gunslinger it's becoming stupid. Next thing you know forums will flood with "remove hunter class" threads.

You make some good points. So perhaps the change also needs a slight invincibility boost and/or a cut down on animation to not eat up the timer.

It's all up in the air for now and if Bungie decides to act on it then no matter what they do someone will rage. I just wish they'd hurry up on that Thorn buff, then i'll be using throwing knives and Thorn DoT all day, supers be damned.
