Nerf to fighting lion. It was one of the few exotics actually worth using. Nerf was unwarranted, who the hell ever complained about FL?
Really? One of the few non heavy exotics i could be tempted to use and it got nerfed? Does bungie even understand how pathetic breech loaded GL's are? Noone complained about this weapon. In what activity was it even a problem in?
So now Fighting lion's perks is: [i]"A breach loaded GL that uses white ammo instead of green!"[/i]
I'm royal pissed off right now, I took a break from destiny for a bit because I was not happy with the sandbox and then this happens.
PS: The catalyst is lame as hell. I wish you would learn how to make powerful AND fun gear.

Sleeper nerf was mediocre but they over do the fighting lion nerf. Goes to show you how they cater to the masses who enjoy low skill high reward.

6 RepliesWell its never been used with its catalyst. I think we should wait and see how this one plays out.

1 ReplySince they basically gave it away for free, along with the catalyst, I feel like Bungie's thinking was, "let's nerf it just in case".

I dunno about you but as someone who uses redrix and HC this thing is still very good.

I thought it was a fancy toilet bowl plunger!
-
never used it but never had a problem with it. Hardly ever see it in crucible. WTF was the issue?
-
Few exotics worth using? What? I'd make you a list but obviously you are a big fighting lion fan. I'm using it now for the catalyst only, then it'll be a trophy in collections, right where it was before.

I've been using it a lot in pve for the catalyst and it has been doing pretty good. The catalyst also looks great but still gotta get my hands into it to do some proper testing. I agree, the nerf didn't make a lot of sense, but it's still good so I don't see the problem.

Edited by ││█║▌│: 10/16/2018 11:18:14 PMI didn't even know the weapon existed until I saw the patch notes, so that says how little it warranted a nerf. I got one from Amanda and I'm about to infuse it into something I know and Trust.

FL + hand cannon cleanup crit?

3 RepliesEdited by ChrjstheShadow: 10/17/2018 10:26:11 AMYou might wanna test the damage out for yourself, cause it seems to be buffed for me. Was hitting 167 without the body shot in crucible, that should be a one shot on contact. I think they put a typo in their patch notes cause fighting lion didn't do as much damage as the other single shot grenade launchers in the first place, so it was weird when they said they'd lowered its damage to keep "in line" with the other grenade launchers Edit: Got a chance to play with it more in pve, and I can definitely see it being less effective. I still don't notice the nerf aspect in pvp, but still it's a shame
