Golden Gun Needs a Buff

Not for shots or length of the timer but an armor boost or even take a second or two off of the animation timer. Yes, it is usually 1 to 4 guaranteed kills, but in the animation I have dropped dead before it is over because of how vulnerable you are. Warlocks and titans are damn near invulnerable in their animations. Or even a perk similar to the blade dancer perk that a kill regens your health.

    I hide EVERY TIME when I activate my golden gun and not once have I died activating it, maybe you should go back to playing as a titan or a warlock if you think it's a panic button.

    • Well Hunter's have to pre-plan their supers, and plus if a Warlock comes and tries to nova bomb you and he doesn't have the skull of Dire Ahamkara your golden 1-hit's him and if a Titan comes around and he doesn't have Unstopable then your golden gun is gonna 1-shot him as well. Point is Hunters don't have the comfort of having a panic super

    • I die pretty often when I use for so idk what you're talking about. It seems there is a 30% damage reduction when casting but then again I can't walk around with it for 10 seconds so idk about that.

    • Agree, cut the initial sequence. I've had stuff run and hide while I'm acting all flashy. If I was a real gunslinger, I'd be dead every time. Enemies have time to pick their noses before killing me in the activation aniamation.

    • Yeah no. As someone who is a gunslinger that thing is amazing how it is; if you added the armor boost it would be ridiculously OP.

    • Here is what I think bungie could do to balance supers [b]golden gun:[/b] Make the warm up animation a tiny,tiny bit faster. Also allow crit shots. [b]bladedancer:[/b] Reduce damage resistance, but make it last longer and increase movement speed a little bit more. [b]nova bomb:[/b] Slightly longer animation but bigger aoe [b]sunsinger:[/b] Increase all ability damage a bit more, reduce cool down more, faster movement speed. Decrease duration but keep sunsinger going for each second they deal burn damage to an enemy (up to a limit) [b]fist of havoc:[/b] Slower animation but bigger aoe [b]ward of dawn:[/b] Stops other supers area of effect damage that would pass through the shield (except FoH) but supers such as nova bomb or golden gun can still break shield. Finally if someone is killed during the warm up animation, they should still have their super when they respawn.

      • I have a Hunter. It definately does not need a buff. This skill isnt meant as a panic button like the Titan and Warlock. This and bladedancer are supposed to be used BEFORE you encounter enemies. It's a necessary debuff considering how effective the hunter supers are in pvp.

      • Don't stand in the open when you activate GG. Can't use as a panic ability just like AB and Radiance.

        • OK I have almost 0 PvP experience, but I don't activate GG unless no opponent has LoS on me. From the handful of IB matches I've joined, it seems like a really good crucible super, actually. I even used it to take down ward of dawn and kill a titan once.

        • I agree for PvE, but not PvP for that i'd agree to gain damage resistance of some sort maybe because it's easy to die compared to other supers..

          As a gunslinger, I agree with reducing the animation time. A shield would be nice, but it might make it even more OP? Unless the shield strength decreases along with the timer. One thing I would really like though, is a damage buff when attacking someone with a shield. There's been lots of times I've shot a Titan with my Golden Gun while he was mid leap. It stripped his shields (okay) but reduced his health to only one quarter. Sorry, Bungie, that's just BS. It's hard enough to target him while he's leaping towards me so fast, but he even has a shield to reduce any damage from shots I was lucky enough to hit him with! I think it's pretty unfair that Titans (both subs) and Warlocks (mainly sunsingers) are almost invincible with their supers but us hunters are not. It makes sense that they have reduced damage against regular weapons but super vs super should mean a kill. If I can get FoV'd when using GG, or nova bombed, then it should be allowed the other way around. Sorry for the rant. I don't hate Titans or Warlocks, I just hate how Bungie seems to ignore us Hunters. Edit: as someone else mentioned, it would be really nice if both hunter subclasses got a damage buff in PvE. They're both almost useless except against weak enemies.

          • Only shorten animation. Everything else suggested would make it even more OP

          • Trust a person that has 134 "way of the gun" medals,it doesn't need a buff,all your ideas would make golden gun OOP (the double o isn't an error)

          • So a ranged super needs a buff over a super (FoH) that requires you to run into danger? FYI, not all Titans are invulnerable during FoH. The Titan has to have that 'skill' selected, at the expense of something else. Have a buff if you must, but it should be at the expense of another skill. So many Hunters crying recently when everyone knows they own in PvP. Go figure...

            • It needs a pve buff not a pvp buff. If you're running into a close quarters room as a hunter with gg you need to quit and play a new char because you're embarrassing to the hunter master race
