Some sort of Heroic Strike or Nightfall De-buff?

Maybe I missed it in an update but has there been any kind of damage reduction to your weapons for Heroic strikes or the Nightfall recently? Last week I had a lot more trouble than usual with the Nightfall but just chalked it up now being a level 30 strike instead of a 28. Tonight however I ran the Heroic strike at level 28 (not 30) and it turns out that my Gjallahorn can no longer one-shot the Gold-Health-Barred Minotaurs like it used to do.

The last time I ran this strike at 28 I was level 28 myself. I am not 30 with a much more upgraded Gjallahorn and it is like it got nerfed. I know the Dark Below is uping damage and levels all up in the piece, but these should still be level 28 enemies no? Did I miss something or am I going crazy?

They did indeed increase the difficulty of Weekly strikes if you're doing them solo. It was a pretty dumb decision, since they're nearly impossible to do solo now, and it's pretty irritating to be doing 300% damage to an enemy and still have a tough time bringing him down since he can kill you in two shots...

Yeah, I've actually done the Nexus strike solo since that change. It was a couple weeks ago right? Unless I'm forgetting and Solar damage was on last time, I think something must have changed since then.

This one is doable, but you have to REALLY be up on checking for the anti-cheese minotaur since he can kill you in two shots as you say. It's pretty much a race against heavy ammo cooldowns… One truth Rocket can take him out.

Does it still? I'm under the impression that a Gjallahorn rocket plus the Wolfpack swarm would always kill him with one shot. I had been doing the race against heavy ammo cooldowns . . . but last night was completely different. A Gjallahorn rocket would only take him down to half health.

A 331 Truth kills the anti-cheese minotaur in one hit, thanks to void burn, plus the shield being void. 300 leaves it with just a smidgen of health.

Me and two others did both strikes back to back, and the Weekly was actually harder to us than Nightfall.

I thought so too. The lack of a burn skull makes the tough enemies take longer to kill.

Except for those damn Nexus minotaurs. I have a group of friends who have actually got stuck on them for over 2 hours before even releasing Sekrion.

Yeah they just hide as soon as you get a shot off on them. Makes it nearly impossible to actually kill them.

I mean, it's not like Strikes were designed for a team, with the difficulty set accordingly. Any guardian should be able to walk in off the street solo and burn through a heroic strike without too much difficulty.

Me: Hey guys, did something change? This is weird.
You: Hurr durr, I'm going to pretend this guy disagrees with my opinions so that I can finally have someone to make fun of [/beingatotalshit]

Heh, I can be a lot shittier than that ;)
In truth, your title confused me as it wasn't preceded with "Was there..." which would have more strongly signified that you were asking about the possibility of something existing, instead of how I interpreted it, which was as a suggestion for the future.

Now I take some of the blame, because I attributed some of the responses as your own opinion because I'm slow and simple minded. It was something more like this:
Internet: "A bunch of Opinions!"
Earendil: "Internet, you're being silly again".

Sorry about that :)

Ah yeah, if I remember right I left it off because of the Subject character limit. Or I just didn't think about it :)

Some sort of Heroic Strike or Nightfall De-buff? (Destiny)

It's harder with < 3 ppl now, if that's what you're doing

Yeah going solo, still seems different though, hhm.
