**UPDATED** Exotic Weapon Review: Bad Juju- The "Super" Weapon.

Like most others, I was a bit put off by the Juju at first. The mag size was ow, the damage was pitiful, and it had to try so hard just to kill trash mobs. Overall, I only enjoyed using it in Vault of Glass Conflux phases to kill the Fanatics like Rambo, never having to reload. Now, I feel that it has become a much better weapon. The damage is the same, however the mag size has increased. String of Curses applies upon kill, and gives a 20% damage buff for about 5 seconds. However, the biggest improvement, in my opinion, is the new add-on perk, which gives you more super energy per kill -twice as much, to be exact! With this, You can use trash mobs as superchargers, and charge a super about once every minute or two at a steady pace. Using these supers to knock down the bigger baddies makes for a spectacular counter to Juju's low impact. I find this weapon to be incredibly effective with my Warlock, as I am now able to go almost full circle of life on my cooldowns. Melee hits restore grenades, embrace the void makes all abilities restore more grenade energy, my armor reduces Energy Drain cooldown, Energy Drain heals or cuts super time down (depends on what I want) and Juju helps to bring down Nova's cooldown even more. In VoG Conflux phases, I can manage a Super every 2 minutes, thus creating more orbs for teammates, killing mobs faster, and even replenishing my grenade even more due to Embrace. This weapon is what I call a "Super Weapon" due to the fact that it is great for those people who like to smash both those bumpers together, and watch their Guardian unleash their most badass moves. Overall, the Juju is on the rise finally. I can safely say that I recommend this weapon to people now, as it most certainly has a definitive use and purpose. The Juju's role is to be a mass-casualty weapon, with little time spent NOT firing. What little time you aren't firing, you are loosing a super or recharging shields (or both if you have Apotheosis). Bad never looked so damn good.

  • Damn straight. It's heaps of fun now! I use it on my hunter with gunslinger with the symbiot helmet (4 shots), gunslingers trance (increased weapon stability, means I can use all impact perks on juju), chain of woe (fast reload) just in case... Sometimes gamblers dagger instead (2nd throwing knife), Gunfighter (reduces cooldown of golden gun... more) and knife juggler (throwing knife reset on precision kill) with 75% on melee stats and 80% on grenade. Just endless killing in PvE ;)
