Yeah, the blast radius of the hammers are a -blam!-ing joke in its current state. I made a 5min video showing clips of how weak the hammers have become and how inconsistent they are. You think I'm bullshiting? Just watch the video and you will see what I'm talking about. This is not me crying, I want CONSISTENT! If i hit someone with a hammer I want a kill in return, I wanted to be rewarded for being accurate not punished. Just make the Blast radius of the hammer i bit bigger and it will solve itself.
Edit1:
For the people saying: "Golden Gun has no blast radius and kills on impact, so HoS needs to kill on impact too".
Difference between HoS and GG:
GG: insta-kill lazer beam with a big ass hitbox (almost impossible to miss) in 1st person (very easy to aim) with 0 travel time and unlimited range (in PvP)
HoS: Has travel time (which was increased with 2.1), effected by gravity, doesn't go in a straight line, 3rd person aim (which can be very awkward)
HoS works basicly like a rocket, you can get as accurate as you can with them. Do you expect from a rocket to kill someone only if it directly impacts them? I'm not saying that the hammers should have the same power as a rocket (not by a longshot), but when I throw a hammer right next to/in front of the enemy I except to get a kill. Not to mention that it is almost impossible to hit a player who uses blink/shadestep/twilight garrison. So yeah we need a little blast radius buff to make this super CONSISTENT again, because right now its the most inconsistent super in the game along with arcblade.
And even when you land a DIRECT hit, it fails to kill the player which is very sad. Clink link below for another clip of how inconsistent the super is:

Keep giving links to videos where a hammer should but didnt kill the target, Bungie needs to adress this.

No no no no no no no. The first hammer missed and should have done a little more damage but did not get the kill. The second hammer where you turned around thinking you had gotten the kill, which you should have but didn't. It was a dead on hit that didn't connect via lag.

100% true

4 RepliesOkay, so you show 3 clips of how good those people are at dodging? Those people are doing exactly what you do when you face a HoS. You're just crying that you can't team wipe. You still are the toughest roaming super.

2 RepliesEdited by Black Howling: 12/25/2015 11:34:01 PMI'll admit that all you have to do when you see a Titan with Sol active is jump in the air, glide, drop, repeat, and laugh. I also think this horrible lag that's been plaguing the game as of late doesn't help with the new wonky detonations. I've had some spot on hits not kill the target more than a few times. Even so, I've always been a Sun Charge kinda guy just for the hell of it - though I wish I could squeeze out an extra charge.

16 RepliesThat the video whinges that you can't get 3-4 kills per hammer shows how OP it was. Welcome to the rest of the world with non-1-hit kill supers.

im a hunter and i say that it is really weak atm. a dude threw a hammer at the floor right in front of me, and i survived with 1 health

Edited by RX7WHAT: 12/26/2015 12:21:37 AMYou miss almost every single shot in that video. I think you only get one hit. So yeah. Not the games fault. If I miss a golden gun shot (which you only get 3) even if it's close I don't get a kill. You have to learn how to aim them now. You can't just spam one near an opponent.
-
2 RepliesYou're the one that threw a hammer and ran. Make sure you get the kill, some of those were your fault as well
-
Hos just became the worst super ever. GG has the hit box of a Peter built. Oh well. Titans vs nerfs. V
-
2 RepliesYeah I once did 117 damage when I threw my hammer right at a dudes face
-
Fist of Havoc is more efficient than Hammer of Sol these days. Better neutral game too.
-
Translation: OP needs his training wheels back!
-
Why are people still bitching and playing this game. Bungie wont do ANYTHING. Maybe if the hammers somehow denied bungie money?
-
HoS is not an accuracy super. It's area of effect and area denial. It should have zero proximity det but a bigger blast radius. You shouldn't be able to take out airborne targets by spamming hammers but you should be able to clean up groups.
-
Good.
-
13 RepliesYou want to be rewarded for accuracy, yet you want the blast radius larger. You are a special kind of stupid.
-
good, it is as it should be.

2 RepliesIf I hit someone with bladedance I want a kill too.

3 RepliesYeah! Striker is the best!!

Hos is fine. You just suck at using it. [spoiler]git gud scrub[/spoiler]

"waaaaa, I can't throw hammers, miss and get kills now" That pretty much sums up the post so I don't have to read it, right? Another whiny titan, yet only hunters cry...amazing.
-
10 RepliesHave you seen bladedancer? Hit connection is terrible, plus the nerf to blink and arcbolt grenade. HoS needed the nerf because it was an unkillabe machine.

I'm a Warlock, but Sunbreaker is nothing more than a pitiful joke now

Don't cry kid !

Naahh -blam!- Titans

5 RepliesAll I read was 'should reward accuracy' and 'blast radius'... Tell me again why you believe a miss is accuracy?
