Way to blow things way out of proportion. A primary ammo using weapon should not hit as hard as it did, simple as that. Sorry your dirty little secret crucible crutch got put on a level playing field with others of it's class.

But Wei Ning says "It hits almost as hard as I do". And Wei Ning is a legendary Titan Striker. Normal Strikers can OHK in the Crucible. This nerf doesn't even affect the crucible much.. it's the PvE players who are here in troves..

Apparently, Wei Ning must of hit like a noodle

Edited by l Cadi l: 10/17/2018 3:33:35 AMYep. I've played with fighting lion almost exclusively through all pve content, now its damn near useless in ep and blind well, can barely be used with a reload ability for boss damage. It want even up, couldn't compete with ep shotty in the same slot, or compare to the dps of sleeper or whisper as an exotic. This nerf was uncalled for and over the top.
-
Nothing compares with the ep shotty, the Sleeper, or the Whisper in terms of boss damage. Grading it against those 3 outliers is patently biased and faulty reasoning.
-
Its really not though. If I run fighting lion instead of an ep shotty, sleeper, or whisper, in handicapping myself dps-wise. Before it was justifiable because I could whip out my boss spec bad omens, then switch to rally barricade/fighting lion and still do considerable damage, now that isn't even a viable strat. it wasnt overpowered by any means, it was in a good place and felt exotic

Edited by Pyrrhic_Apathy: 10/17/2018 10:40:56 AMPersonally I always thought the Lion was useless in pve. That aside, nothing stops you from running the exact same loadouts you were. It just does a little less damage. Considering it's always been a single shot weapon with poor dps potential anyways, I guess I don't see the fuss. It wasn't a practical option before, it still isn't. Feel free to use for fun but recognize it as such. Also, let's not forget the catalyst for it drops this week which, in it's old state, most certainly would have made it op. And damage lost will now be made up in the decreased reload time and bonuses to your other weapons due to the masterwork.
-
The catalyst boosts the reload speed, and boosts primary and heavy weapon handling and accuracy after firing it. Hardly would've made it up. Wouldn't affect the max dps potential of using it with lunafaction/rally barricade at all. In the right hands fighting lion is an ad clearing monster, I've got over 17000 kills with it according to discords charlemagne bot. Where it really shined was demolishing groups of ads, taking big old chunks out of majors health, and breaking shields even with match game on (though it still takes 3+shots). now all its good for is groups of trash mobs. Will I still run the same loadouts? Probably for lower tier stuff, but not for endgame anymore.
-
That's how I've rolled in pve and gambit all season. Now I might as well throw on the sleeper and join the dark side.
-
It couldn’t even one hit someone nor did it have the same CC abilities as the other breech loaded launchers. Also the damage nerf is going to have a negligible, if any, effect on it in PvP. It didn’t need a nerf. You PvP crybabies are what’s ruining this game
-
It's hilarious that you imply I'm a PvP crybaby.
-
It’s hilarious how you suggested in your initial comment that I’m annoyed that “my crutch got nerfed”. Usually when someone calls a weapon someone else’s “crutch”, it means they’re a PvP crybaby
-
Wouldnt even go that far, just a silly , foolish ,idiotic , stupid, troling internet moron with nothing else to do,who else would call the fighting lion a crutch?lol.

You're letting your personal bias really shine today.
