Edit: Basically, I take back everything I said, and I think it's the Gjallarhorn for year 2. It's going to be the be all end all weapon for raid bosses. "LFG MUST HAVE BLACK SPINDLE."
It's a pattern that is already repeating itself, and I realize my ignorance:
[b]Year 1[/b]
Xur sells Gjallarhorn week 2. No one has enough strange coins, and people think that heavy is a waste of an exotic slot. Basically nobody gets it other than a few from random drops.
It becomes the best DPS weapon in the game for an entire year for bosses and all and is never sold again. Only obtainable through drops.
[b]Year 2[/b]
A random daily heroic shows up, and it's able to drop a brand new exotic. It's basically an exotic version of an old gun that got nerfed. Nobody is going to be high enough light level to do the mission, or nobody is going to want to waste their exotic slot on an old nerfed gun.
This gun I think will go on to be the highest DPS gun for the raids because of how much they rely on stationery sniping positions. I didn't really think [i]too[/i] much when I wrote this post. I think this Daily Heroic won't show up for another 8-10 months, and it will only become a RNG weapon just like Gjallarhorn.
[spoiler]I was extremely tired when I write this post, and I just got back from a funeral, so my thinking has been not on the well side. [/spoiler]
*Finish Edit*
Why waste an exotic slot on it? There used to be a legendary gun that did something better. Sure, they nerfed it, but why are you guys getting excited about an exotic being created that uses a NERFED version of an old gun.
You can get a better sniper that has 4-5 in a mag and a faster reload. Since Black Spindle only has 3 in a round, it could be possible to miss a shot, and that wastes ammo and more time reloading than it would with any other sniper.The gun doesn't carry enough ammo as it is due to only having 3 rounds in the mag.
What a stupid gun.
The only thing I plan on doing with this is to infuse it. I don't have anything to infuse it on because I already have a 310 sniper at the moment.

Killed golgoroth in 1 and a half rounds with only black spindles and weapons of light. You are right, why would I waste an exotic slot for a bad gun....
-
This will literally be the best weapon to use in the raid hands down in pretty much every boss fight
-
Highest impact sniper currently in the game. And it WRECKS in the raid.
-
7 RepliesThats ok It is getting nerfef to 290. Sucks even more now

Highest Impact Rating of all Year Two snipers. Same as Efrideet's base Impact. All our current snipers are high rate of fire low impact.
-
Not reloading on golgoroth is its own blessing
-
It's black hammer but 310...so raid equals bæ
-
Still the way you get it neat, glad they put some effort into it, I wish I had known about it

say that to the raid bosses then you'll realize how good it is

..it's technically a rifle.. Not a gun... ..

Edited by Eternity: 9/24/2015 2:52:14 AMHighest dps sniper in the game by a mile for single targets with lots of health. Warpriest and Golgoroth both melt with spindles equipped, much like Atheon used to melt faster to the Hammer than even the mighty Gally.

1 ReplyThe reason they did this is because [b]they realized they gave a Legendary gun a perk that belongs on an Exotic.[/b]

7 RepliesBlack Hammer was always an exotic quality weapon. Too good on bosses to be legendary. Bungie realized this and gave us an exotic version. And added a secret mission to find in order to get it. I personally love what Bungie did here.

1 ReplyBecause the Black Hammer was a bosskiller. A powerful instrument of stunlocking and doom to wipe out Fallen Walkers, Cabal Tanks, and Servitors. It was a weapon that, by all accounts, [i]should[/i] have been Exotic to balance it out. I'd give up an Exotic Slot in exchange for shaving 10-20 minutes off of each strike.
