Did something recently happen with this weapon? If not, I'm not sure why the post was necessary unless you've finally accepted it will never return to what it once was. As far as Crucible is concerned, the Mythoclast is balanced right now. I'd venture to say its slightly more than just balanced but then again, it is an exotic. This is my outlook on any weapon in Crucible. There should be no stat/weapon that gives someone a +dmg boost over his/her opponent. For example, the Hawkmoon is broken. Every duel should be balanced. It takes three shots to end someone with my legendary hand canon (that's with headshots). Along comes Hawkmoon and they can drop you in 2 shots or 3 body shots if they are getting the random +damage. That, in my opinion, should never happen. Stats like radar stays active, missing returns ammo into chamber, increased effective range/accuracy, etc. are fair stats. The thing is, when it boils down to the 'duel', the determining factor should only be who is better. You take 2 equally talented players and give one a weapon that can do more damage like the Mythoclast once did, the Mythoclast will win every time.
