Is anybody else kinda bummed by the new weapons? They all look great and cool, but they are all not as good as the stuff we already have. I know ascending gear will be pretty rare for a while, but most of these new weapons also need to be ascended. Also, where are the primary elemental weapons? Does anybody have any information on that? There seem to be two versions of primary weapons in the database, one kinetic, one elemental. But so far I have not seen any info on how to get them. Will there be an even harder mode along the road? (LvL 36?)
I got Her Mercy for example. I was stoked when I got it. But when comparing, it is not really any better than the TFWPKY 331 I still have from TDB. And that is a gun I didn't even use anymore, because is was outclassed by raid weapons... Only thing I can see myself using is a low mag hand cannon with final round AND luck in the chamber as a mini hawkmoon. But that is not really better than FB I think...
The red hand seems to be the go to hand cannon apart from maybe the six dreg pride, but also that gun doesn't look THAT special. While I love the fact they put this many guns in expansion, it feels like a bummer that most of them have no use at all. Allot of ppl saw this comming if raid weapons were allowed to be upgraded, and I feel Bungie has missed an oppertunity here. I don't know how effective the new perks are yet, but it seems like my collecting guns days are over. I am going to ascend everything I had, because most outclass what I can buy now. Especially for the weapon classes dependent on field scout:
Zombie apoc/swarm/deviant gravity/corrective measure with field scout for LMG
LDR/Spear with field scout, black hammer
With the ability to ascend (OP) raid weapons, the new perks should have been better than the old ones, instead of weaker (i.e. no field scout etc). I don't know how often some of these new perks proc thought, so I might be dead wrong. But all in all the new perks seem kinda underwhelming.
What are your thoughts on this manner?
p.s. really want to try Icarus on hand cannons, that seems like an extremely fun perk.
