People who voted sleeper are definitely not sober.

Why is this even a question?

Are you kidding it's obviously gjally, you can not even compare the two. There will never be a better weapon than the gjally in it's prime.

All Year 1 weapons were wonderful. They all felt overpowered in some way. Fatebringer Black Hammer Gjallarhorn Suros Regime Shadow Price Vision of Confluence Praedyth's Revenge Thorn Found Verdict I do admit that the weapon balancing is great now. I see such a wide array of weapons being used throughout different game modes. But the feeling of getting these weapons, especially Gjallarhorn was amazing.

The gjallarhorn was so powerful it defeated the following with very little effort. PvE Adds [spoiler]A guardian could shoot a major with the main rocket and let the wolfpack rounds take care of the rest.[/spoiler] PvE Bosses [spoiler]Use big weapons on big bosses, am I right?![/spoiler] Our own inventory... [spoiler]With a fatebringer, black hammer, and ghorn nothing else was needed for pve. Other exotics just weren't as dominant even though they were good. Buffed Bad Juju? Who needs more super when you can have more rockets.[/spoiler] The community [spoiler]Destiny's most coveted exotic became the admission fee to nightfalls and raids. I even lied to a group of raiders that I didn't have one yet despite having two. They told me I was trash and needed to learn Destiny 101. Then I equipped it and they told me to join the group. People even doubted their own player skill if Ghorn wasn't in their inventory. The community became worse.[/spoiler] Xur [spoiler]I'd never heard of a difference between earning and "xurning" an item. I didn't think it mattered when quests were provided for very specific exotics and others could be found in the wild. Xurners were frowned upon lol. As though one ghorn is weaker than another.[/spoiler] Bungie [spoiler]In the same week it became available to the world, it also died. I know many are still salty about that.[/spoiler] I hated it long before then. I realized it made me worse and long before its death I embraced other loadouts in higher level content and welcomed my friends to do the same. We felt happier and skillful overall. Moreso, our loadouts became specialized to our individual needs. Sleeper is powerful and provides the thrill of fusion rifle timing with a punch greater than rocket launchers in general. Props to the sound designing team for the revving up effects followed by that high pitch ring upon firing. It is satisfying. I love Sleeper Sim and as a Sunsinger, it is one of the most fun ways of generating orbs from across a stage. I am the 10%.

Ironically, the post you refer to was just to try to describe Gjally to new players. Then someone comments sleeper>Gjallarhorn and the shitshow started. I tried to stay calm, but eventually I lost it on the guy too. Trying to define 'better' proved impossible. Sleeper will do more damage. But Gjally was....Gjallarhorn. That's why it was better. And neither side would be swayed. Either you love it or you don't.
