"HOW IS _____ A BAD EXOTIC?? I ONCE SAW (professional pvp streamer who plays 12 hours per day) DROP BACK TO BACK WE-RANS WITH THAT WEAPON IN A QUICKPLAY LOBBY. UNSUBBING"
“People don’t like hurting themselves” me purposely taking arc damage so I can proc riskrunners exotic perk:😳 ,sidenote riskrunner is absolutely shreddding in pve as of now especially with the unlimited primary ammo you just absolutely have to take arc damage
Heads up, if you're facing a striker titan. It takes 3 melees for them to kill you if their first melee is charged, because of riskrunner. I learnt that the hard way. No go and cause chaos
Riskrunner can absolutely shred through strikes involving Fallen, and can handle Vex strikes pretty well if you can find Radiolaria sources(Pools or suiciders)
@@BenMaguireLONEWOLF9989 Septic Prime (cannot remember the name my bad) final fight arc will bounce off the shields onto the orbiting balls and it makes me sooooo happy
@@NejiLover94 Devils Lair is one of the weaker of fallen strikes for riskrunner, as it's more of a croud control weapon, and arc damage sources are harder to come by due to the fact that a it partially shares enemy spawns with Hive. Fallen SABER is the best for Riskrunner. The ships weapons deal minimal arc damage meaning Arc conductor is free.
There are only two times I use Salvation's Grip. The first, and primary reason, is to break those Darkness triangles to start an Aspect quest. The other is to make platforms to get outside the map.
tbh if it got a catalyse that made it have the two other types of genades but special and maybe more powerful slightly just so it fits well as a exotic
That's about it. Utilities are not bad but they certainly are not flashy or direct. Darci is also a utilitie weapon in that you can use it as a meter stick.
Borealis is highly underrated! When it is honestly the best triple archetype Sniper in the entire game! Cloudstrike was cool at first but it’s boring to use and I’d take Borealis into a GM over the the Cloudstrike and day of the week!
@@NexusKirin I know! Why everyone loves Adored, Cloudstrike, and these other snipers is beyond me! It’s like the Destiny community retarded as fuck over the past 2 years.
@@elitejackal3439 because I your in a gm you dont need a single guy with all elements you are supposed to be a team and share the load. It's not us being retarded its just how the activity is making players adapt to the situation
@@carlosflores4179 mm needs to get crit damage buff to make it special like DMT and hawkmoon or another exotic trick such as a 3x dam buff you can activate like the terrabah by body shots… dont know actually how fair thatll be. Jade rabbits pretty cool though regardless but yea needs an unique buff
@@hillieo9760 playing devils advocate, as someone who really enjoys using Jade Rabbit in PvP and personally felt it could hold it's own against 120s pre nerf range nerf decently enough. I do slightly fear that making it's damage bonus come from crits could make it oppressive. But then again you love to see it.
I still think arbalest needs antibarrier. It's whole thing is that it doesn't give crap about shields, yet it can't shoot through anti-barrier. I would love to use it if it could deal with a champion type.
They gave bastion unstoppable since it also was suppose to be a "fuck shields" kinda weapon before they changed it. I wish arbalest got similar treatment
Yea I agree, I think there's a ton of old exotics that could use that treatment, I'd definitely rock something like the Suros Regime a lot more if it had innate anti-barrier or overload rounds.
Ye I always imagined since they added the champ mods they could with adding them to some exotics (although not all cuz that would be broken and possibly retarded)
IMO Acrius has been underwhelming since swords swung into relevance. It struggles to compete with them, despite the fact that the Acrius has less reserves and a much higher risk to use. This is especially relevant because it is a raid exotic. These are currently going for a lot of spoils, and the Acrius isn't unique or powerful enough to deserve such a grind. I'd say it needs the radar perk replaced for something tarrabah-esque, which allows the weapon to be a burst dps option, in the same vein as the fourth horseman but as a heavy.
Ye one of the main things holding acrius back is definitely gonna be the spoils needed. After all, those spoils can be spent better places I.e anarchy if you don't have it, or trying for good rolled guns in vog or dsc
I just hate gambit 😂. Mostly because, of the Drifter, I just hate him; he reminds me of a guy who was in my year all through elementary, middle and high school who wanted to be a poor man's rogue-like Chuck Norris looking martial arts master. When I hear the drifter speak I want to hide my face in a paper bag because, I'm getting so much second hand embarrassment. He was the kind of guy who tried to give himself edgy nicknames and then tried to convince us other people gave them to him.
@Anoneemus Noename Gamemode of it's time. It sucks now because of EoT and Truth and Sleeper, Lorentz, etc. It was great in the beta and during it's launch.
I love it but I hate it, I love the drifter but I hate rocket launchers. I swear I'll invade for like a second and some guy respawns behind me and shoves gjallarhorn where the sun don't shine
I love the actual pve part but having to deal with other people while fighting a shit ton of enemies, and that they can reset the bosses fucking health from nothing to full by killing 2 people is just bulshit
Coldheart needs an actual intrinsic perk. Currently it's literally "is a trace rifle". We have 5 of them now, that's not a unique intrinsic perk any more.
@@Gunslinger8912 The beam it fires is the antithesis of cold. It's ammo is it's cooling liquid. Changing Coldheart to Stasis makes no sense at even a base level, before you even to get to the fact that the entire design philosophy and lore of the gun would have to be changed. At that point just make a new trace rifle.
@@flagmuffin1221 I could not disagree more. Read the lore, it says the ammo DOUBLES as the coolant, not that it only expends coolant after heating. There's nothing that says the beam is hot. It is literally a beam of liquid nitrogen coolant shooting out of it
@@flagmuffin1221 dont know where you're coming up with the idea that the lore and the gun philosophy would need to be changed. There is absolutely nothing tying it to Arc energy
Thunderlord's getting a damage buff when they do machine guns, scouts, and hand cannons in one of the next tuning passes, all it needs is a catalyst. It's a workhorse weapon, all it needs is something passive IMO.
@@SCRandall the trinity ghoul is way better then thunderlord it takes primary ammo the Salvagers salvo destroys both those weapons hopefully it can compete after the buff
Honestly I never really touched Merciless in the time between Year 1 of Destiny 2 and Season 15, so I never even realized they moved it from the heavy slot to the special slot. Honestly though, I think they should move it back to the heavy. Its perk is clearly meant to have the player focused on a single target so you can dump your whole mag in there, taking advantage of the ramping charge speed to skyrocket your dps, but with Special Weapon tier damage it just doesn't feel powerful enough to warrant its use. Set it back to a heavy weapon with proper damage numbers to compensate and I think you'll see people's opinion of the gun improve significantly.
Make Darci have all 3 champ mods/ammo because it 'finds the enemies weakness and adapts'. It'd still be subpar damage etc but having an exotic heavy that can stun any of the Champs would be very cool. Edit: any of you that think this compromises the Champion system- hahahaha obv you struggle at killing Champs son
Its a really good idea but i think giving it the champ mods intrinsically seems a little too strong in my opinion. It would be nice to not have to worry about forgetting to put those mods on after loading a GM
@@tannernipper3756 maybe there could be a Reload mechanic sort of like Lord of wolves or hard light where you have to cycle through what kind of anti-champ it would get?
i use cereberus mainly in pve sometimes pvp and actually just got the catty so I'm just happy datto thinks its good even tho there's a clear bias being his gf likes it bc i was sure he'd knock like everyone i know does to me for using it :P
I main malfeasance hahaha its so satisfying when guardians feel "safe" cause I'm hitting them with a hand cannon from long range... then all of a sudden they don't exist anymore
Yeah Malfeasance is a great exotic. Still a great counter to roaming supers. And before the stasis nerf. Hedrons gave you infinite uptime on a DMG boost. 180 rpm handcannons are godly when they get kill clip/or any DMG buff bring their ttk down to some of the fastest. Higher mag size for them too and great stability 3 taps for days and super counter if you're charged with light or in a
I personally love Malfeasence, it's a very balanced hand cannon, pretty fast firing but not as high damage as a normal hand cannon, very balanced in pvp and still amazing in pve
I used malfeasance the whole time I was doing the quest line for Lunas howl. Then when I finally got Lunas, they nerfed the shit outta it a week after. Now, you can literally just go buy Lunas or Not forgotten.
I know that Leviathan’s Breath is a meme but I use it pretty exclusively and love it. It’s also hilarious when I point blank an invader right in the face in gambit!
Malfeasance needs a catalyst that builds stacks on hits and at like 5 stacks fire a taken spike explosive round that does aoe damage. So at 5 hits the next hit does a taken explosion or something to that effect so it can add clear to some extent along with major and boss damge. Just a quick thought.
But then it will just be a copy-and-paste of polaris lance. I mean polaris sucks and I would love to see malfeasance do the job better, but I doubt bungo will be as hopeful as you bro.
I think the biggest problem with "bad" exotics is that unique != good. A lot of the worst exotics do something very unique and cool....but that thing isn't really useful. A generic exotic sword that just gives a lot of damage "lament" is top tier vs. a one-of-a-kind slug throwing heat seeking scout rifle that explodes "skyburners"
Agreed wholeheartedly. If we could somehow trigger the noble rounds like Symmetry changes to seekers, would make it a bit better too. I hate that I can’t hipfire it after getting a noble round.
Lumina as a 150 (after the shadow keep precision nerf) would leave red bars with a small amount of HP even with the buff active. The move to a 140 was actually a good thing for Lumina.
It would be interesting if each Noble Charge in your possession would give you +10 Recovery. Also that "hip-fire to Noble shoot" is irritating as hell.
@@x-ler2066 it’s not even a bad gun, it’s catalyst is perfect for what it does and it’s dummy cracked against cabal. Honestly don’t know why people don’t pair it with solar buff gear
It's exotic effect is that it ramps up damage while on target. It's just missing a secondary ability to make you care about that or synergizes in some way with that ability.
@@HatTrickzTV it’s a supercold cooling system keeping a superhot blue fire laser in check with the weapon systems, if anything it should be solar lmao.
@@Evan-ug6qc it has almost no AoE, unless enemies are hugging each other they won't take dmg at all. Its more of a explosive payload range, it needs to be firefly level.
I remember that i saw a post about datamining and a section was about the malfeasance catalyst that was supposed to give it something similar to firefly, so we'll see !
I will say about Borealis, I had one sitting in my vault from when I first played D2 and having a multi-damage type sniper available when shield match is so common in the mid-higher tier weekly activities was a blessing leveling up.
"I love Lumina, it's so much fun playing as a support character!" *Datto says it's bad* "Wtf Lumina is actual hot garbage I'm never touching this thing again"
if i wouldnt dislike its design so much i would play it way more just because of the lore it has, there is an artist who drew some really great pictures of Reyzil Azzir (dregen yor), at a time we still thought yor was a hunter, together with his rose. and i mean it if i say i would even pay 15 bucks for an lumina ornament that looks like this (the artist is Shiniebezial or stjepan sejic on twitter
Personally, in my experience, the ability to see allied healthbars would make Lumina a much more enjoyable weapon to use. I'd be able to see what I'm contributing to my team in terms of healing AND, y'know, I'd know when I really need to fire that healing shot.
Last season I used Malfeasance every week for Harbinger, with the Unstoppable Hand Cannon mod and the fact the entire level is Taken enemies it was a fantastic choice. It also made me realize how lovely the gun feels to use. Would really like to see it get a catalyst, if for nothing else but to add orb generation and a kill tracker. Oh, and it's also one of the best looking guns in the game
thats actually pretty clever, i might pull out Malfeasance for the Corrupted Expunge for the giggles. i forget that Taken buff sometimes. Something i found out recently; Crimson with the Overload mod can stun the Champions in 1 trigger pull. It counts each bullet of the 3-round burst together as "sustained fire", so it's basically an instant, fool-proof stun for virtually nothing. I dont see many people on PC taking advantage of it, but Crimson on PC is for Rumble and otherwise just a controller-user gun.
Maybe the catalyst should have an alt-fire where you shoot explosive bullets that deal a bit more damage but less overall damage than the full 5 bullet explosion so the exotic perk can be useful against ads? The main use of a primary is to clear ads, so it would make it a lot better imo
That rant was funny. I've always thought the "body shot to gain bonus headshot" was a dumbass mechanic for a scout rifle. Edit : oh yeah, that's the same issue with Luna's Howl and Not Forgotten... Perks that mitigate mediocre accuracy.
It's legitimately my pick for the worst exotic in the game tbh. The perk sucks because you LOSE DAMAGE for the benefit of not reloading, and if you don't do the perk it's a 150 scout with a 10 round mag.
"Some exotics are meant to be unique, not good" Well yeah, that's true.. but why? Devs come up with a creative idea just to discourage people from using it?
Yeah, this argument doesn't really make sense. Nobody gives a shit about something being unique if it isn't good for anything. It's "unique" aspect still has to excel at what it does or it's just a waste of everybody's time.
Not every weapon can be the most powerful. Some are designed to intentionally be worse than others to help prevent power creep, bungie has said this themselves I think back in taken king.
@@dreadnaught5370 That's not how you deal with power creep though, you deal with power creep by introducing stronger enemies, not weaker guns Wyverns, Brigs and Master VoG are a great example of how it's done
Yeah, for people who always go for meta stuff and MAX DPS in PvE stuff (barring raids and M/GMs) will not use these things. Its about having fun in a video game, fancy that. Theres a time and place for Anarchy, and theres a time and place for skyburners if you think its fun to shoot.
Merciless is actually a pretty solid PvP fusion with its catalyst. I know you can seldom make use of its exotic perk of faster charge time on non-lethal hits, but the catalyst causes it to become a stat MONSTER with range and stability. I consistently kill people from farther away than any other fusion rifle with Merciless.
Merciless is good in pvp just cause it's a good fusion, not cause of its exoticness. Luckily exotic slots don't matter as much in pvp so it isn't too much of a con.
I wish they would remove Merciless' uniquely slow charge rate. It should have the same charge time as the other high impact fusions. Maybe then it would compete with the other exotic fusions.
You can use it with focusing lens to proc stasis as a light class, though now that we have another stasis weapon it's not as good. (Though being able to make free walls is fun somtimes)
@@lastwymsi The thing is having a stasis weapon is not useful at all right now other than doing bounties. There are no stasis shields or enemies or anything that stasis has an advantage over. The other stasis weapon also sucks ass too lol.
@@ninjaslash52_98 it's *okay*. It's a 180 without having the 180 in-air accuracy and can't get Icarus, so it's already at a disadvantage. It will always just be okay with other HCs around. It's my favorite gun in the game but I won't try and make it sound better than it is.
I remember back in D1 Queenbreaker was my go to exotic for trials as i was pretty decent with it. Moving it to the heavy slot just killed any reason to use it for me.
It made it like actually viable as well, I think that’s what the catalyst should be. There’s already plenty of primaries that put out that much damage anyway.
A great update for Salvations Grip would be to make it a “shotgun” grenade launcher. Instead of shooting 1 stasis crystal It would shoot like 3-5 small ish crystal in some unspecified pattern. But hopefully they don’t change it so I can continue to cheese my way around prophecy and other activities lol
The Lumina has become one of my favorite hand cannons to use this season. Just like the thorn with the necrotic grips, lumina stacks with the boots of the assembler. Making so you never really need to reload and you rift will last forever because the healing effect of the noble rounds procs the the effect of the boots. While it is fun to do, you will lack the DPS for most things. You are just an RPG healer.
@@jameswooster4250 Boots of the assembler with the lumina on warlock With well of radiance you become a stationary healer never have to reload And you can heal from any distance with the gun And you're grenade.
@@reef1017831 same here, it was vaulted for me until the catty released. Hasn’t left my side since, and closing in on 100k kills with it because it’s just so damn fun. More catalysts like this please!
I'm going to be completely honest, I absolutely love cerberus and I've been using it since it came out, and I find it viable in most situations (yes even at long range) it shreds guardians in pvp and a blast to use In pve, but I'm not gonna lie i don't get alot of use out of the catylist
I agree I love Cerberus it is basically a shotgun that is using primary ammo. I do agree the catalyst is kinda meh. After all I only use it for some farther range shots due to it making the spread tighter so each round hits it's mark. For weaker enemies though you wouldn't see me using that firing mode on a boss or something like that. That is just plain dumb due to the slower firing speed you would get shredded. It is a very underrated gun for sure.
People sleep on the huge damage buff it gives as well. The damage buff given to your allies and you isn’t locked to lumina so you can grant the buff then use your heavy or special as if you were getting buffed by a mobile well of radiance. With luminas catalyst you have noble rounds super often too so it’s pretty much 100 percent uptime on the damage buff.
@Devil Bird Sure man. I'm a support main. I'm used to keeping teammates alive, and in D2 it's a huge help. Most people don't play supports in Destiny though. It's like Warframe: you all just want to kill shit. I get it, but don't undervalue a support.
@@user-lv8dn8gw9z After their recent "buff", the assembler boots are good enough on their own, but coupled with Lumina, it loads noble rounds as well as healing teammates. You pretty much become a walking medkit.
I was surprised to see lumina in the bad exotics, its sooo good, just underrated. From my experience with it I would say a bit more range or stability, it have the same stability as ace(pretty low), but ace traded it off with high range. I also saw some comments about the hip fire stuff, it's a "precision" weapon, award u for hitting heads, u can do so well by aiming down sight.
Bro legit, most of these weapons were so fun back in the day and in my opinion, still can be fun, like when Polaris came out I remembered it was so fun and couldn’t put it down
@@exosus7451 It is, in my opinion, the best non heavy invasion tool in the game. It three taps, and it three taps quickly. Strong aim assist, long range enough to compete with snipers, ammo back meaning you don't have to reload on back to back kills, low recoil and good handling. Hell, even in just regular PvE it's its own monster, being able to crank out absurdly consistent DPS against ads and champions. As long as Scout Rifles have a seasonal anti-champion mod, I will always take Polaris Lance.
I achieved 1335 recently and did my 1st GM nightfalls... I hated scout rifles in general... but since this season is Anti-barrier scout, I found myself forced to take a scout, so i looked at Polaris Lance in my Bank.... took it out, wiped the dust out of it, put some gun oil in the barrel and wiped it clean and good Lord it Slays in GM nightfalls..... you basically never Reload, ever and you shoot through anything into their Heads xD. If they buff its Explosion exotic perk into making more overall damage or DOT damage im gonna go around using it outside Nightfalls too for sure!
Salvations Grip catalyst idea: Give it regular heavy GL rounds that explode on impact. Holding reload swaps to the original mode. This way you can create crystal shards and swap modes to blow them up. Very versatile being able to create walls, traps, platforms, or just freezing stuff. Then being able to use it as a regular heavy GL.
It already has different firing modes so this would be easy to do without removing it's crystal creation as the clusters from holding would remain. Would be cool if it's catalyst let you detonate Stasis crystals by reloading with a mini penumbral blast as currently the game has no 'protection measures' for allied crystals so it wouldn't be a grief risk.
@@Perkustin it doesn't have an alternative fire mode I'm aware of? Holding the trigger lets you create a larger formation. This would let you hold reload and heavy regular grenades
There was actually a build on hunter with the tricksleeves that made it do some pretty big DPS, but it got nerfed into the ground a season or two ago I believe.
coming back to this video nearly two years later is cool seeing how many of these weapons have been improved. Wish-ender is a great exotic now. Darci is not the greatest, but still decent with the added jolt. Skyburners is the same but with scorch. I Think Queensbreaker is kinda slept on at the moment, the chain bolt is suprisingly good for add clear. Malfeasance stunning unstoppables is neat. Leviathans Breath has probably the biggest turn around, currently being an amazing dps choice. Coldheart generating Ionic traces is cool for arc builds. Jade Rabbit is decent but still a bit wierd and janky, though not as bad as it was. Polaris lance is REALLY good now that the perfect fifth explosion scorches. Merciless is also another slept on dps choice. Lumina is really decent in pvp.
Leviathan's Breath and Malfeasance are some of my favorites. And the bow does AOE damage, and so does Malfeasance if you manage to get all the shots off before the enemy dies. Yeah not the best there, but I still enjoy it.
Could always make a slightly less bonkers version of that for its catalyst. Or put the full craziness back and move it to special ammo. It’s already the slowest draw bow outside Leviathan’s Breath.
@@thetwintiger i agree with @xRedliine it was not that severe .. and , the less said about Leviathan’s Breath Draw Time the better i was hoping the Catalist would fix it ... then i found out the 5 arrows more , was also needed .
Lumina with Boots of the Assembler is an amazing combo. Super support with infinite heals and buffs. Definitely drives Lumina much further towards the top.
Have you tried Lumina + Starfire Protocol yet? You become a healing machine with your two grenade charges and the middle solar warlock tree, I basically never run out of grenade for long and it feels really nice throwing a full heal over shield on an ally knowing they would have died otherwise
I love how I see you guys as warlocks use it, and honestly people like you are underappreciated. (Comes from a Hunter who's ass got saved a few times thanks to supportive warlocks)
@@lunatic756 when I feel like I havent contributed much in the offensives due to kill count I'm gonna remember this comment ^^ makes me wish there was a teammate's supported counter but this will have to do for now!
I've been running Malfeasance with overload rounds this season since proccing the explosion will also end up stunning overload champs in the process. Fun to use in stuff like override, but not too sure about Master/GM stuff lol.
Wouldn't the gun stun them before the taken explosions happen? I mean that sounds fun and all but you'd probably get more bang for your buck with Crimson.
Malfeasance is one of my favs just a dope looking gun and its pretty good in pve imo. Don't really have any issues with it. Borealis and symmetry are pretty dope too. I like their abilities.
Eriana's Vow is SO bae. I adore it and always have it on me. I feel like the insane length of the catalyst is a big turnoff for players, but this gun is amazing with it. I dare say that putting in the time on that catalyst is well worth it.
I just finished my symetry catalyst when I got eriana's vow... Two strikes later I get the catalyst... Now I basically gotta do same thing again DX can't say it's a turn off tho. Because for sym it was well worth the wait... Anyone who does lots of playlists will sail through these... Been huge help for solo nightfalls
@@damonspang9508 the nice thing about symmetry is that NFs count towards its progress while for Erianna’s they don’t. I bought the vow and symmetry a couple months back in season 13 and I’m almost done. Grinding GMs the latter part of season 14 bumped my progress close to that of the vow but either way I’m not tripping. At first I told myself that if I do 10 strikes a day I could get it in 40 days but the grind would’ve been exhausting so I didn’t do that.
The soft dps is very nice. I remember it saving my butt during the outbreak mission because it's explosions deal crit damage even to the scorpions that didn't have a crit spot
@@muratendmo The perk only outperforms coldheart by a small margin and if you're talking about pvp then y'know if you get a double kill with a trace rifle you should be rewarded with kill-clip2.0
Malfeasance is fantastic. It shreds through small ads. With the perk it does good damage on majors/ultras/bosses for a primary. With the 5 hit perk, you can kill a guardian at almost any range. It’s a very underrated exotic.
It suffers from "it sucks when solo syndrome" compared to what you could be using. The point of the gun is to run multiple since everyone uses the same hit counter (as it's counted on the target, not the gun itself). With a fireteam slugging away at tough targets, it works much better. But, since no one else is using it, you'll be alone with it and that's the worst time to use it. Sort of like Rat King, in a way, though at least Rat King has competitive TTK and good solo utility in more difficult content.
@@ForeverLaxx I use it solo all the time and it performs just fine. Especially on Taken and Fallen but Malfeasance isn't for everyone especially in crucible. I still clap 3v1 everyday but not everyone can do that especially if you can't hit headshots constantly.
@@ShunTsukiko Compared to the exotic energy or power weapons you could be using in PvE, Malfeasance is a joke. Who cares how well you do against an average PvP lobby with a gun that has no advantage outside of maybe getting a cross-map 5 hit kill which is going to be rare, at best? Your best use of the gun in PvP is trying to take out a roaming super, but unless you have lots of space and no other option, that won't work anyway. Bring that gun into Gambit, the mode you have to play to even get the weapon, and when it's time to DPS the boss, the one thing Malfeasance can do better than other primary not named Dead Man's Tale with Vorpal, you're still getting completely dominated on the damage chart by your team who are using energy/power/supers. To keep up, you can't use Malfeasance, and when you can't use it in the one place it's meant to shine, what's the point? Wiping ads isn't hard either and requires no exotic to do, and boss DPS without energy/power/super contribution is bad. Most, if not all, Exotic primaries generally have this problem in PvE and they need certain niches/styles to be valuable in PvP, or at least have competitive TTK with some sort of upside. Malfeasance really has nothing going for it when alone that you couldn't get better results from elsewhere with a similar Primary and free up your Exotic slot. Don't get me wrong. I like the gun, but it needs help pretty badly.
@@ForeverLaxx I said it did just fine for me. If you read carefully you realize I used "I" my preference. Could I use Hawkmoon yes, could I use Ace? Yes. Could I use any other exotic yea and should I? I do. But I'm not gonna count any exotic out because it doesn't clap 100% in everything by stat and perk when I could use it to practice skill. I wasn't saying it didn't need help. No need to write an essay on things I already know. It has its faults and like every exotic it could do better, but just remember when it first dropped everyone was complaining it needed nerfing like every single weapon and when it does you complain it needs a buff. Yea there are weapons that have limited viability Malfeasance one, but at least it's balanced or at the moment fairly close. In my opinion some exotics need limited viability otherwise we'll have another WoW, Anarchy and Simulant issue. Where it claps in everything and some idiot take it into pvp and cause it to get nerfed.
@@ShunTsukiko "No need to write an essay." Yeah, that's cute. You kids and your phobia of reading is always good for a laugh. I put zero stock in "it works for me" claims. Anything can "work" in the right lobby. There's no denying it doesn't really stand out and easily falls behind standard options, though. The game does not work in a manner that Malfeasance can leverage, which was my point.
it is bruh, datto just getting his shit off, levi so broken in pvp and gambit, you can straight up army of 1 as an invader bruh that bow is nuts,unlimited range, instant kill any part of body, and it feels like the arrows track sometimes, only knock on that weapon is getting ammo for it
Contrary opinion: Whisper should stay where it is and be an outlier to conventional snipers and others DPS options as harder to use and set up, but significantly more powerful if used in right circumstances (it needs a buff to be that obviously). DARCI though, that one could be fine on special ammo
Ez solution for Leviathan is that when you stun a champion, the bow gets returned to the "mag". As for other buffs I think a merciless type perk where for example each crit increases fire rate and a slight damage boost would be nice. I use the bow all of the time to just remove majors and champions quickly. Usually it takes 1-2 shots and when you get 5 bows per ammo brick and 15 in reserve no matter what mods you use, I think its pretty nice
Skyburners is overlooked for Cabal high end nightfalls. Every shoot is explosive which allows use of warmind cells and they are the most busted thing in PvE. Also, personally love guiding bullets which allow you to shoot from cover and hit your targets which is beneficial in GMs where everything hits like a truck.
I’ve been using malfeasance since I first got it when it came out. I don’t think the weapons needs a buff or anything. I’m hoping for a cool catalyst for it Bc it’s well deserved. I wouldn’t have this weapon in this list in my opinion. It’s my favorite exotic and I’m fine with not a lot of people using it. Makes me feel unique among all the busted metas that have taken center stage ever since I got it.
Jade Rabbit was actually really good… for the 1 mission I used it for Since the seasonal mod was to use a scout rifle to stun barrier champions, it really came in clutch when doing that mission sent to you by Clovis Bray post-beyond light campaign (the one where you traverse freezing platforms and you can killoberloads instead of getting the shelter of the storm buff) Malfeasance looks fun but it’s really a Gambit weapon Haven’t used my coldheart yet Merciless… I just got the catalyst today. It runs more on its intrinsic trait more than the catalyst. It’s cool but very niche (to be used on only bosses) because that’s the only place it’s useful enough to use the exotic trait
