Vex mythoclast 34% debuff? more like 50% debuff.
"The Vex Mythoclast received a 34% damage debuff" with a 1.5 damage multiply to precision kills up from 1.25 damage multiplier.
In PVP VM went from 45 hit for a body shot down to just 23. Thats much more than 34%. and even with the percision damage buff the mythoclast does 21 less per hit.
Head shots from the vex mythoclast now do 35 Damage per precision shot down from 56.
Body shots with the mythoclast now do 23 Damage compared to 45 pre-nerf.
Compared to the suros regime which does 37 per precision Shot and 30 per body shot.
Looks like the suros Regime is again the best PVP weapon. Even though it has a slower fire rate it makes up for it with accuracy. The vex wins in most close range fights but is much harder to use in longer range battles with the reduced damage

EDIT: Info from: aXiom Tested it on a Lvl 2 Fallen: Suros - 128 Vex - 120 MIDA - 238

1 Reply1.) As an owner of 2 Vex Mythoclasts, I will agree the gun was way to overpowered in the crucible to the point that entire teams would leave within 30 seconds once they realized they were facing a full team of Mythoclasts. Due to this, it needed a massive nerf. 2.) Despite needing a massive nerf, 34% was a bit overboard. Somewhere between 18-20% would have been more ideal in my opinion. 3.) The crucible is an instanced game. To nerf/buff all these guns game wide was a stupid move. The Vex Mythoclast, being the hardest weapon to get in game for beginners, should rightfully be one of the most powerful. Bungie could have simply made it so that upon entering a crucible match, certain factors would kick in such as nerfs and buffs to each gun to balance them, but when in campaign, strikes and raid, the gun has it's full power. We all know this is entirely possible on Bungie's end due to the Iron Banner in which it doesn't balance weapons (would say armour too, but it seems that a level 3 can withstand as much damage as a level 30).
