Gjallorhorn is NOT and has not every been the best rocket launcher in the game for all uses!!!
Gjallorhorn is virtually useless when trying to kill Atheon unless you want to risk taking damage and dying during the fight - I know there are those who use it for Atheon Hard but I am not one of them.
Gjallorhorn is terrible for Public Events on the Moon - due to small blast radius.
Gjallorhorn is terrible for some POE encounters due to the way rockets proximity explode due to being killed by the architects rather than proximity to enemies. I know this is a game defect but still it sux to die for this reason.
Gjallorhorn works best for Nightfalls and Strikes but not for POE or PVP - I know some love to use their Gjallorhorn for PVP but let's face it there are better choices for PVP simply due to blast radius alone.
I have no issues with the upcoming Gjallorhorn nerf because Gjallorhorn fires and reloads faster than every other rocker launcher. I am ok with a reduction in Wolf Pack damage so long as Gjallorhorn remains an exotic but let's face it there are many better choices for some engagements than the current Gjallorhorn. I am not even sure the Gjallorhorn should even be called an exotic weapon now simply because it has such a small blast radius. There was a time when the Gjallorhorn was a true exotic but only because there were no other launchers with the same fire and reload rates but this is not the case any longer.
I think Bungie should rework the Gjallorhorn to make it back into an exotic by making the following changes:
1. Fire 2 Gjallorhorn rockets at the same time with reduced Wolf Pack damage based on pre-nerf damage values.
2. Reduce the fire and reload rates by 50%.
These changes would increase the damage output and elevate the Gjallorhorn back into exotic status without making it too OP but let's face it an exotic weapon has to be OP in order to be exotic otherwise it's just taking up space in our vaults.

[quote]it an exotic weapon has to be OP in order to be exotic[/quote] An exotic weapon is exotic because no other weapon has the exotic perk. This "Exotic weapon needs to be OP to be exotic" bull shit needs to end.

I think that they should nerf the damage the wouldpack rounds do, but add twice as many wolfpack rounds, problem solved.
-
I think it should start with 20 shots to make it better and less crappy.

Lol. What a hilarious read.

9 RepliesNo Gjallarhorn is basically truth with worse tracking and DOUBLE THE F*CKING DAMAGE. Easily the best rocket launcher for all situations where you would want a rocket launcher.

Last time we used 4+ Ballerhorns on Atheon he died within the first time's vengeance... we didn't even need a second teleport.

I support the weapon balance, but I don't get your post. Is it supossed to be funny? At least I'm asking...
-
There are certain things I don't use it for. For example: - Public Events: I like using a wide blast radius rocket to hit the underside of the drop ships. Plenty of legendaries do this very well. I also prefer non tracking rockets, when battling a walker. - PVP: Any ole rocket will do. I even see people wrecking the place with blue rockets. I prefer to save my exotic slot for special or primary. No, I don't have Thorn or TLW.

10 RepliesI opened this post, hoping for good points about situations in which other weapons can outshine Gjallarhorn. I was wrong. Here's a more educated version of this post: (Warning: Opinions past this point) [quote]Although it is undoubtedly the best weapon in the game, there are certain situations in which other weapons can have the edge on Gjallarhorn. -Truth is arguably better for PvP, since a well-placed rocket will kill regardless. The extra damage is unnecessary, so boosted tracking is a greater benefit. -Dragon's Breath can demolish stationary targets, and will be of great use in combination with the Nighrstalker super. -Machine Guns such as Thunderlord are objectively better than rocket launchers in close-range situations due to the lack of splash damage. although it is not very useful in normal combat, Super Good Advice will return ammo when firing of Oracles or Crota's Oversoul - IF you can control the wild recoil. -Primary exotics are in my opinion better overall than exotic heavies, for the simple fact that they see more use. Consider such powerful choices as Thorn, Red Death, Hard Light, Vex Mythoclast, or Bad Juju. All in all, just remember that there are other weapons than Gjallarhorn.[/quote]
