Golden Gun is a problem in the Crucible. Lets look at the normal amount of kills per super charge ability use in PvP from an average player:
-fist of havoc- 1 maybe more kills
-defender- 0
-bladedancer- 1, 2, maybe more
-voidwalker- 1, 2, maybe more
-sunsinger- one if lucky
-gunslinger- 2 if not 3 or 4 easily
You cannot deny that this is true if you've spent any time playing PvP destiny. Golden Gun is extremely easy to use, has tons of range, is extremely accurate especially if the player is using the perk deadeye, and the time allowed for use is extremely long, for all of the other supers you have a short amount of time and for all except nova bomb you have to get very close to the enemy to kill them with your super before the short time runs out. I believe a solution to this would either be reducing the total time of use for golden gun or splitting the time between shots to around 3 seconds and if you don't shoot in that time you lose the shot.

Edited by Harrimand: 9/11/2015 2:07:27 AM1. It's a super, what you gonna do about it? 2. While we can get up to four kills, we require an exotic for the fourth, we can get a maximum of three, and there is a chance that we miss one, if not all, of our shots. 3. Even if it can go across half the map, remember if we're doing it from that distance, we still have to aim the dang gun. [spoiler]also, sunsinger [b]DESTROYS[/b]. Firebolt with viking funeral + Ultra fast recharge = Death[/spoiler] Edit for a typo

Edited by zOmgLynn: 9/11/2015 2:05:43 AMEasy : Yes But it can get shut down so easily you don't need [b]another super to counter it[/b]. Nothing is wrong with it. It doesn't gain [b]Toughness[/b] like other supers do. [spoiler]Like Fist of Havoc on a charging Bladedancer[/spoiler]

If you use them properly you can get a lot of kills with bladedancer and with sunsinger just chuck grenades everywhere and shoot anything that moves

2 RepliesOr you could just A. Turn up your volume and listen for anything that sounds like a gunslinger And B. Avoid him entirely
-
Not here to whine, not here to complain, but coming as a main Hunter, I get way more kills as a bladedancer. And whenever I play on my warlock or Titan, it's not hard to get multi kills. (if you don't panic)
-
I hate gunslinger, but it doesn't need a nerf. It needs a PvE buff. In PvP, it's wayyyy too sensitive to balance. It's ok where it is now.
-
You offend me with your sun singer remark. I destroy scrubs with it.
-
No, no it doesn't. Golden gun isn't a guaranteed three - four kills, just like FoH or NB or radiance isn't a guaranteed 1 - 2. It's all about how and when you use the super.

Edited by Tomoyo-CCS: 9/11/2015 1:59:07 AMthe difference is fist of panic and nova of panic are used to stay alive more often then the rare guardian that saves it for max kills. to top it off golden gun makes a very loud sound when you activate it. so if you just rush in to the red area on radar and not live its your fault for doing so, after all all hunters give a warning shot before the track down their targets~ golden can miss targets very close at times as well~ ps defender gets kills. people go in your bubble while you have on helm of saint 14 = easy kills

It's way easier to die while using/activating golden gun than any other super.
-
3 RepliesLook man all specials can get 1 or more kills. Stop CRYING for a nerf! It's up to you and your skills to kill the desired amount of guardians. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ANYTHING THAT IS GOOD STOP CRYING FOR A NERF. That's all I see people do on this thing when they can't do something they cry about it.
-
Lol they buffed it instead
-
Or all three classes will have seek and destroy supers in a few days.

2 RepliesAs golden gunners we have no over shield can be killed mid animation while when that happens to everyone else they keep it and we can be wiped out from other supers as well
-
You do not know how to deal with them
-
I think it might be how youre dealing with them, either try to kill them while theyre activating the super, dont run at a golden gun let them come to you golden gun is on a timer so hunters will want to get as many kills with it as possible making them more prone to rushing, if you want to rush a golden gun do it with 2 or more players yeah you might die but just make sure youre coming from different directions so you confuse him, and last but not least if you hear the sound of a golden gun and you dont want to die then just run away
-
fist 4-5 kills if all grouped same for bladedancer, voidwalker, golden gun depends on when you use it if there are enemies around and if you dont get shot in the back while using it

1 ReplyDefender is so fun to use

2 RepliesEdited by MolonLabe115: 9/11/2015 1:21:40 AMAre you serious? Here is actually how it is. If used correctly, a well placed Nova bomb,fist of havoc and blade dancer can wipe out an entire fireteam. Now granted that the correct perks are used and armor that helps. The sunsinger can spam grenades for days when in radiance, especially if they're wearing the heart of praxis fire. Radiance+Fusion grenades = as many kills as there are enemies nearby. The gunslinger has a max of 4 kills, unless they're standing in a line and you have over penetrate target on. If anything needs some kind of nerf , it would be the Fist of havoc because you can be 20 feet above a Titan, you most likely are going to die. Supers should be used when the situation gives you more the one enemy. If you use it at the wrong time, that's your loss. The defender can kill as many enemies in their bubble as they want, as long as they are dumb enough to keep coming in the bubble.
