It's damage was reduced only while pairing it with celestial nighthawk. Even with the nerf a hunter will still out dps a warlock and a titan using stillhunt.

[quote]What happened to this being a 25% nerf?Why 33% only on hunters (other classes use it for higher damage rotations) and why disable its function with an artifact perk made for snipers?Last i checked its still a sniper shot even if its in golden gun form.[/quote]This means cloudstrike will be doing better damage than still hunt, lol.

No wonder they nerfed it ...How many freakin videos are there on youtube about it ?Blame the streamers .Use this broken dps sniper now before it gets nerfed .Here is a detailed video about it that bungi can see aswell ... But hey , to all streamers : Let's all make such videos . 😑I wonder if streamers call each other in the morning like : hey , how are ya ? Hii , i am good , how are you ? Well good , good .So how are we gonna f up destiny today , huh ? Oh well , i don't know ... let's abuse that OP new thing and lets make 100 different videos about it !! That will surely not cause a nerf .Surely !!And then when bungi eventually nerfs it , they are like : huh ? Why was it nerfed ?? Blame bungi ... 😂

Have you tested how much the actual change is?They are incredibly incapable of communicating real numbers.When they buffed Touch of malice, they said they'd buff its last shot damage by '20%'.What they meant were percentage points:The last shot dealt an additional 100% (=200% of the base shot), they increased the damage by 20 percentage points (equaling an increase of [u]the buff[/u] by 20%: +100% => +120% (as opposed to an increase of the whole dmg that they communicated),resulting in an overall increase of 10%.They would later explain how they actually meant it, but from this we got confirmation of them being incapable of communicating in the patchnotes what is actually going on.

Still Hunt with celestial still deals slightly more damage than all 3 shots of a none Celestial Still Hunt. This nerf was just to make the difference between 3 shot and single shot lower.

The amount of sympathy I have for one of the most supported and popular classes in the game is nonexistent. It was an auto win DPS sniper. Use your heavy like everyone else

Yea - they communicated this increase to the reduction half--blam!- yesterday in a reddit post yesterday[quote]A few weeks ago, we announced that the Golden Gun shot from Still Hunt would be receiving a reduction to damage when paired with the Celestial Nighthawk Hunter Exotic Helmet.While testing the change, we discovered that a slightly larger reduction in Golden Gun damage was required to bring this Exotic pairing into line with other classes. The updated total reduction to Still Hunt's Golden Gun damage when using Celestial Nighthawk will now be 33% less than the current functionality, and our patch notes have been updated for tomorrow to reflect that.[/quote][url]https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1e9kvrk/still_hunt_celestial_nighthawk_damage_reduction/[/url]
