Mythoclast Nerf is 50% not 34% like Bungie says it was. (Destiny)

What this means is that Bungie either straight up lied about it, or that they messed up.

Nah, I like Option D in that thread:

"We still don't have a damage formula for this game and people are ignoring the 'base' part of the comment. I mean sure, the fact that it does about half of what it used to is fishy, but we don't actually know how crucible damage is calculated anyway. It's almost certain that it's got a completely different damage formula to the rest of the game and it has neither been revealed, nor worked out." CookieFTA --- In addition, Bungie needs to be more descriptive and vocal on how certain buffs/nerfs apply.

Edit: I found this lower down in the thread (posted by Cornbre4d):

"Everyone forgot about that Perk the gun has that gives it a 15% damage buff for 3 seconds after scoring a kill.

That 45 damage is after the 15% increase plus the first muzzle adds 10% damage.

You are comparing the Stability low impact muzzle after the nerf to the high impact, 15% damage bonus buff pre patch damage."

I have no clue about any of that stuff. I don't have that gun yet, and I don't know if any of that stuff even works in Crucible. If it does, I suppose that's another possible explanation on top of option D. Way confusing, but maybe someone else can shed some light?
