Black Hammer, weapons of light with Illuminated is 20840 critical shot damage. In 15 second you can do easily 220k damage. Try that with just 7 gallys.
6 gallys done halfway through first times venge...
3 gallys near dead first TV. 1 Gally does more then non black hammers during 1 TV.
Even if I see ppl with BH I still lob 2 gallys before they even get out of the portal.
I shoot them at the beginning if I don't get teleported. That way we get extra dps, but don't move him, and I'm on the sniper platform when relic arrives.
Optimal load out if not everyone has a gjallarhorn:
VoC for Supplicants
Black Hammer for Atheon
Corrective Measure for Oracles
If you are the one guy in the party trying to fire your gjallarhorn while everyone else is trying to snipe, then you are a dickhead. That is especially so if you were asked up front to not use it. Seriously, nobody cares you have a Gjallarhorn.
Also, if you are using a rocket that isn't gjally over a sniper you're an idiot.
Either everyone needs to shoot rockets or no one needs to. These are the options. If you start shooting rockets and mess up my black hammer shots, I will find you, and I will kick you square in the nuts.
