It's a ranged super that one hits everything (except and Titan using unstoppable with their fist of panic) so it naturally should be a glass cannon. That's how bungie justifies it. Which is completely irrelevant because sunbreaker exists.
I don't care that you have suncharge considering that thing has more tracking than a truth rocket and is almost impossible to kill a sunbreaker out of. It is a range super not a melee super. It also 1 hits everything except stormcaller and the same fist of panic a golden gun can't one hit and suncharge will one hit a stormcaller.
Now please explain one more time why golden gun doesn't have extra armor? There are some double standards and contradictions going on here. Then again at this point it doesn't feel like any hunter supers have extra armor so I guess bungie could use that as an argument against me.
Either way this has pissed me off ever since the sunbreaker first released back in TTK because it's basically a golden gun with more shots, a longer duration, and ridiculous armor. I doubt bungie will do anything about it considering their definition of the word "fix" is putting a band-aid on a broken leg.
Here's to hoping D2 supers make sense and aren't made with faulty logic.
Edit: why does it seem a lot of Titan mains are the ones arguing. You're the ones who thought it was okay for sunbreaker to survive sniper headshots and golden gun shots. You obviously don't care if your subclass is broken. BTW I've never seen this many people opposed to a fűcking buff... It's not like I said nerf hammer of sol down to no armor. If I did that I'd be receiving death threats in my PMs.
Edit: People are saying I must suck at gunslinger. Do people who suck at gunslinger drop 35 kill games consistently as a gunslinger? I obviously don't suck so you can put that one down to bed.

Because if your a good shot you can kill from any distance in the blink of an eye. You can dodge a hammer, can't dodge a golden gun. I main a sunsinger, i do agree that sunbreakers with a ohk melee and a ohk ranged hammer plus a shield and health regain perks out classes radiance by leaps and bounds. Not sure what bungie is thinking, guess self res is just that good...🙄

Alright, that seems fair, as long as my hammers get hitscan and max AA. [spoiler]moron[/spoiler]

Ok in case you didn't know this bungi hates hunters. Really they even called the hunter a trouble maker in the recent stream. They all main storm. The said how the love the storms ability to clear a room. Poor blade takes all of his super on one yellow enemy. Sunbreaker is nothing to a storm coming around the corner.

From a lore perspective, with GG you're infusing your weapon with light, not your guardian. Hence the reason why it would make sense your guardian wouldn't receive any sort of shield or etc. [spoiler]Just a thought[/spoiler]

Hit-scan, no drop off > Slow travel projectile, heavy arc. Golden gun wins a fight against most supers as its instant travel time, hammers can be easily dodged. I had dodged every hammer of a Hammer, then preceded to kill him. Almost impossible to dodge all 3 golden shots. You don't need armor when your target has a split second to notice you before getting blown into oblivion. Not to mention the aim assist.

Not a Titan main here and you are just being a baby ( gun slinger is my favorite hunter class btw)

2 RepliesBecause the super can kill in one shot from almost all the way acxross the map. So the only counter to it is to quickly kill the person with it before they can get their own shot off. Just like Cautery made Sunbreakers 1.0 OP, Damage resistance would do the same to GG. Oh, and by the way...that's where the comparison stops. HoS has less range, is more difficult (now) to aim, and has to allow for travel time AND gravity when aiming Whch is why one of the most effective counters against it (when dealing with low skill Titans) is simply go vertical and force them to hit a moving target in the air. Many players simply can't manage it.

5 RepliesThe only super which will kill at any distance is a golden fun. I'd say it's a trade-off.

11 RepliesLol golden gun one hits from anywhere and it's an instant shot. Sunbreakers have arc and delay in their hammers so it's harder to hit stuff unless your barrel (hammer) stuffing down peoples throats. I also main a gunslinger and I think they are fine.

1 ReplySo here's the thing about Goldy. It can one shot EVERYTHING if you use deadeye.

"Consistently" in your book is 4 games since christmas? Hunters are supposed to be squishy and agile. Low armor is offset by being the most agile class. (This does not mean the fastest, people.) Comparing Gunslinger to a Sunbreaker, which is supposed to be a heavier armored class, doesn't really work. Everyone is always complaining about how some other class has something that proves their (favorite) class should get a perk, a buff of a special piece of armor. 1. If everyone is so good, why do they need the extra help, and playing their class as it is, is unfair? 2. I am not saying you are a bad player. Just wish everyone would stop using their stats as a reason why their opinion is worth more than everyone elses.

Golden Gun is long range with hitscan, and can one-shot just about every Super. Every other Super either has a limited range or travel time, and may not be able to kill in one hit consistently. That's the difference. That's why it doesn't have damage resistance like the others.
-
Suncharge is a 1 shot but still has less range than a golden gun. Also a golden gun can stop suncharge easily. Go into mayhem with suncharge and see how many times a golden gun maps you before killing someone. Also getting 35 kills per game as a hunter is like saying "I beat level one" :P hunter's are easy mode bud.
-
Well at range a sunbreaker has to predict movement on a moving target and has to have stronger aim. A golden has hit scan and doesn't require prediction of movement, so the armour stat is ok.

Wow who would of guessed a hunter complaining on forums this is just a shocker

Your right with it not stopping Titan- BUT technically it can if your accurate enough to not miss with celestial nighthawk, I feel that it could one shot Titan strike with that -
https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/14083/7_Destiny-Class-Tuning---December-Update Scroll down to the middle and look at the patch notes on sunbreaker titans. This is from the December after TTK launched. Think differently now?

The only super that needs a buff to armor is blade it takes 2 swipes from blade to kill a sunbreaker. I can get past the surcharge part but, getting one hit by a hammer is sorta ridiculous for blade especially since it's a melee only super.
-
Gunslinger is the only class I use and it's fine, hammers have travel time, if you aren't consistently getting 2-3 kills with it then you're doing it wrong.

Oh buddy you are seriously going on the rage defensive here. I replied earlier telling you what everyone else has been, and I guess I didn't specify that I'm a gunslinger main too. I don't care how many kills you get a game, but at this point you should understand golden gun is a super with PROS and CONS. Your pistol is hitscan, one shot across all ranges, and has no form of drop or arc. Hammer of sol, however has a drastic arc to it with travel time. The AoE it has isn't very forgiving, especially after its nerf. And you can't compare suncharge to golden gun because golden gun is essentially a suncharge that goes across the map. It is a RISK that you go into golden gun, and the REWARD is determined by your aim. If you think golden gun is lacking this late in than I don't know what to tell you, it's been fine since release.
