This thing is rapidly turning into the Gallajhorn of this season. Not because of its raw power, but because of how utilitarian it is and how immensely useful it is to have an actual goddamned elemental primary.
I give it about 3 weeks before Bungie picks up that it's going to become one of the most used exotics solely because of its arc element. No other Exotic Primary is anywhere near this ubiquitous, solely because most of the Exotic Primaries save for Red Death, Tlaloc, or Suros Regime aren't that good anymore.

I have a different opinion. I tried using a 310 zhalo during the black spindle mission yesterday thinking it would help with the arc shielded captain cabals. Didn't work for me at all. By the time I used up a magazine their arc shields had not been depleted. I was disappointed. Switched back to a high impact scout for the next run, and used an arc rocket launcher for those pesky arc shielded captains instead.

Taken Captains have solar shields. Taken Centurions are the ones with arc shields.

Yup, you're probably right. But you know what I meant! ;)

I had actually the exact opposite effect. I switched to my zhalo (which dropped my light down to 298), and I was tearing through the centurions' shield in less than a mag, at which point I could switch to my secondary to finish them off (I happened to be using a shotgun for the mission). It was also especially useful in the final room with hordes of psions. Chaining lightning and killing two, three, four at a time, all the while reloading the gun and recharging my super (which was nova bomb with obsidian mind, for context) made this gun an absolute lifesaver and was actually quite crucial to us finishing the mission.

I did the spindle mission with the supercell the first time it came out and I've found nothing better for it. clears adds like a boss (gotta be good enough to get double kills) while helping getting your super back. Never focus on the big guys with this gun, kill the adds around them while letting the arc lightning weaken the shields, then switch to your secondary and finish them off. It's amazing at it's intended role of providing continuous fire against hordes of enemies.
-
Good thing I haven't sharded or fed my zhalo to another gun yet. I'll give it another go next time and avoid using it on the shielded dudes (which was what was disappointing to me).

If you want some real fun, take in into the abyss in crotas end and just laugh while slaughtering thrall.

Interesting bit of field-data.
