Raze lighter and sleeper do more damage per shot/swing than gjallarhorn. The math has been done. But there are some factors to consider such as sleeper has a charge time and requires a crit shot to do more than gjallarhorn, and swords require you to be dangerously close to enemies...

I used sleeper in the raid. Most of us did for that reason. I didn't know it hit hitter harder than gally for fact. Charge time is irrelevant if your correct. You get 9 or 12 shots with sleeper.
-
Does hit harder than gally. Does around 12% more damage than a shot of gally if you hit a crit
-
And then you got a guy like this that tries to make the community turn on the greatest weapon in the game....lol RIP
-
Do you have a link comparing Gjallarhorn with everything? I'd love to see the numbers
-
If you wanna be that guy gg does more with night hawk
-
Shhhhhh. Don't say that .

Raze lighter requires that you get to within melee range of your target. Which is a VERY unhealthy thing to do against bosses. Sleeper only does more damage if you get PRECISION shots.....and that is only against a single target. What makes GHorn so loved is its versatility. Massive single target damage. Lots of AoE damage. Tracking rocket. Tracking cluster bombs. Its literally the "Swiss Army Knife" of boss-killing weapons.
-
I'm just a raze lighter fan boy haha... I never have issues with getting close, and if I do, I switch to dragons breath against bosses.
-
GHorns much more reliable than Dragon's Breath. DB is more an area-denial/zone-control weapon.
-
Agreed, but a majority of grounded bosses stay still long enough for DB's Fire to burn more damage than gjallarhorn's wolf pack rounds can deal. And for flying targets, raze lighter is your best bet because going up close with almost any air target makes it nearly impossible for them to hit you.
-
Yes. But the use of DB requires fairly precise timing inorder to get the napalm canister to drop where you want it to. Which means you're more likely to miss with DB in a hectic fight situation, than you are with Ghorn. All you need to do with GHorn is wait for the lock-on tone....then fire-and-forget it.
-
If you think that then I don't think of have much DB practice, it's extremely easy to get napalm to drop where you want it to drop.
-
It's easy when there's nothing else to think of...and you're in a realitively non-lethal environment. It becomes a VERY different situation when in youre in a hectic boss fight, and you're having to get your rocket off (there's a joke in there somewhere) while trying to avoid adds. Its also different when you have to stay exposed to fire that many Destiny bosses have that can quickly melt you, while you track the rockets flight and time the release of the canister. Which is why the military stopped using wire-guided, tank-killing missiles, and went to a internally-guided, fire-and-forget model. The weapons were almost as lethal to the user as to the target.
-
Oh god there's always that guy
-
Haha just leading people in the right direction... if you wanna use the refurbished gjallarhorn for solar strikes, go for it! I'm just pointing out that it's not as effective as people worship it to be compared to other exotics.
-
People remember it for what it was...not what it is. Pre nerf gally was a monster
