I don't even (Destiny)

How did you manage to complain about a Thorn buff in PvE?

I guess when I got caught up reading Bungie's weapon tuning business contract.

How is nerfing Black Hammer, Ghallarhorn or Ice Breaker preventing you from downing Crota?

We strive for Destiny to be a place where a single weapon or strategy does not dictate how, or with whom, you spend your time.

Bungie didn't mean for the above to happen, but it absolutely did. Even Datto's No Land Beyond thing didn't encourage players to try something else. That's because they go for the sure and true, the reliable and dependable, the ol' Faithful, or whatever you call it. People go with what works.

Why are you shooting him with Black Hammer of all things in the first place?

White Nail. Why else?

How is it taking you more than 6 Icebreaker shots or 1 rocket each (regardless of whether it's Gjallarhorn) to down him? Are you the only person shooting at him?

I'm an Overseer--I guard and protect my raid group from Boomers, Bridge Knights, and Ogres. My two Icebreakers are at 307 and 321, so at the moment each of those takes at least two shots to kill those enemies. I usually try to keep some Heavy Syntheses with me, but if I don't have any, my rockets are empty. And the devil himself will die of hypothermia before I see any purple on the floor. Onto Crota himself--I don't know if it's lag, or clashing colors or if it's intentional, but I don't see any damage numbers on his shield at all. If I'm looking at his shielf health, I rarely see any change there either. Meaning I have no idea as to when he's
weak enough to actually heal. So when my teammate grabs the sword, I unleash EVERYTHING I've got and I don't stop until he kneels. If I'm busy keeping Knights away from everyone, especially the Swordbearer, he picks it up--no heavy ammo on the floor, 48 second reload...that just leaves a pulse or a scout rifle. Now that's laughable!

They nerfed Grenades and Horseshoes and you've decided without even seeing it or being told specifics that the nerf isn't enough?

One hundred-percent. I've run, I've jumped, I've backpedaled--I've even blinked. And still, 5-8 feet away(and in the case of Blink, 10 feet in the air), no wiggle room, no leeway, no chance in hell. Death, death, oh so distant death.

Your whole post smacks of " CHANGE IS BAD, THE END IS NIGH"

Of course it does--I don't like change! Change is bad!

(and if anyone can't tell, this is the part where I'm using light-hearted honesty to reveal my own flaws)

You learn the new secrets and the tricks of trades, etc., then it whips around on ya, and boom! You're on your face wondering how it all went wrong. You have to memorize all this stuff, radically change strategies(and I DON'T mean that camping garbage), watch the stuff you had faith in just melt in your hands...it is indeed the end of times!

I don't know about what, but he probably was.
