If you look at the Bad Juju and the Thorn, you'll notice their exotic perks make no sense. Thorn has a dot, but hand cannons are meant to oneshot enemies, and piercing rounds aren't useful since heads don't generally line up, meaning Mark of the Devourer rarely has any effect, especially in pve. Not only that, the reload speed and mag size are terrible. Bad Juju reloads on kill, but the Bad Juju is bad at killing things quickly, and it already has a great reload speed, making String of Curses mostly useless. [b]The Truth[/b] [b]Their exotic perks are meant to be on the other weapon.[/b] Imagine the Bad Juju with the Mark of the Devourer instead of String of Curses. Every burst from the weapon would proc the dot. That would be a massive dps increase. Not only that, while heads don't line up, bodies do, making the armor piercing element of Mark of the Devourer extra useful, further increasing the possible dps. Not only that, it would get rid of the need for a dedicated armor piercing perk, allowing you to take the almighty perfect balance. In essence, Mark of the Devourer is exactly what the Bad Juju needs to make it the dps weapon you always wanted it to be. Now imagine the Thorn with String of Curses instead of Mark of the Devourer. Instant reload on kill. Increased damage on kill. String of Curses would make the Thorn the ultimate combo kill weapon. Get a headshot? You're more likely to get another, and as long as you string headshots together, you never have to reload. If you miss? You've got increased damage for a little bit, make em count. And if you get down to your last bullet, you've got the Final Round perk. If you get a kill with the final round, you're back in the game. Now tell me that isn't what these weapons need to become amazing. Bungie, please.
