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.

5 RepliesAll I read was 'should reward accuracy' and 'blast radius'... Tell me again why you believe a miss is accuracy?
-
6 RepliesHammer of Sol is inefficient to use without forgemaster; the explosions are just too small. I used to get 2-4 kills before nerf. Now I get about 1-3. Which is on par with GG.
-
Sunbreaker sucks now
-
This is pretty -blam!-ing sad. Bungie throws out garbage ass bullshit numbers full of lies when they nerf and -blam!- weapons and subclasses over repeatedly! Fix this shit Bungie!
-
I main my titan, but I almost never play on Sunbreaker, I enjoy my hunter a lot too, but I agree with you. Classical way of Bungie, over nerfing something
-
So I guess this a buff post? Or a nerf post? Screw just burf it or nurf it or maybe burfed
-
5 RepliesWell deserved nerf. Glad it's not "easy mode" anymore. :)
-
Nope. It is fine as is.
-
I knew Sunbreaker needed an adjustment but in typical Bungie fashion, they overnerfed something else in this game. Hammer of Sol is now a joke. Almost impossible to hit a target who is jumping and running away. Bungie needs to learn how to nerf one thing at a time for something which is a little stronger. If they nerfed only the health and Cauterize ,left everything else the same and Sunbreakers were still the same killing machines THEN Bungie should nerf the explosion radius of the hammers. Not nerf everything and one by one give it little buffs.
-
Yeah they need to fix it. I didn't like it to start with I always did better with striker but I think people who like sunbreaker need a break. That's like making it to where you have to hit someone with the nightstalker to tether them, or to where you can only hit one target at a time with stormcaller
-
there is something inconsistant going on, the only thing hammer of sol needed was the armor reduction and the cauterize cooldown. everything else was imo not needed.
-
5 Replieschill the hell down. Golden gun is shorter, no armor, and NO blast radius.
-
Needs a buff
-
I was wondering why my Sunbreaker's hammers don't work as well... I didn't want to get blocked out of Destiny permanently, but since it appear to have happened, looks like this may be a good time for it.

And have that blast hit the tip of my nose or hit a fence im behind and ohk no thank you
-
1 ReplyYah. I actually wanted the Titans before to have their armor nerfed but bungie of course took it too far and decided to nerf the blast radius of the hammers. They need to buff the blast radius Slightly
-
was getting boring watching everyone run away when they heard the titan hammer super start up
-
Im sorry, I really am. I don't even play this game anymore. But I heard so much of this from other people before it was nerfed. Learn to adapt. ;D Again, sorry. I had too.
-
At least half of those were blatant misses.
-
16 RepliesThats the most stupid thing. You obviously missed almost all of those hammers. The one you said "directly hit the guy" hit the stairs.
-
3 RepliesLike Titans like to tell everyone "Learn to adapt."
-
2 RepliesBecause now you have to aim to actually get the kill git gud
-
You [i]do[/i] have to actually aim
-
Dude you're just missing. When i use hammers i still get kills with it cus ya know... i hit my targets.
-
The only thing imo that should have ever been changed was getting health regen and an over shield with every hammer. If they had taken those out of the mix I would have been perfectly happy and I play as a titan some but mostly warlock and hunter.
