So, Why are Firing Line and Explosive Light so bad?
Seriously, Why are perks that we have to put effort into procing WORSE than pe- Okay we all know I am talking about Vorpal Weapon. I honestly don't get it. Who thought that was a good idea? Who? I can't for any reason think of why perks that take time or a situation to proc are just worse to use than a perk that takes literally no set up.
For the sake of balance, please fix this.

4 RepliesNo firing line works as intended watch ehroar on youtube does a very good breakdown on this perk
-
Explosive light was nerfed at the beginning of the season to inoy be 15% I believe it was and was buffed back up to 25 today Firing line is bugged and us not giving the whole buff it should be

1 ReplyExplosive light was just buffed to 25% today
-
10 RepliesMeanwhile we have people like ehroar who thing that it's supposed to only be the 14% increase for Firing Line when literally a year ago it was hitting 24.8% more damage. One if not both are bugged. Remember explosive light is a grenade launcher Perk so I imagine it's just bugged rn.

Fix? Just use vex lol

3 RepliesBecause firing line and explosive light work on more than just bosses

5 RepliesAdagio also is pretty useless...

8 RepliesFiring line is bugged right now it's only doing 14.2% damage more when it should be doing 20.

1 ReplyI didn't think either were hard to proc. You either stand near people or pick up an orb.
-
I'm pretty sure it's cause the perk is bugged.

1 ReplyI remember I almost took out Bracus Zahn in the room before the actual boss fight with Firing Line. Of course this was on my Line in the Sand back in Season 9.

1 ReplyHere I was thinking I had a decent DPS Reeds Regret only to find out firing line sucks.

4 RepliesExplosive light is not much effort either. With orb generating weapon u will have 6xtimes the buff in no time. That is six rockets with 15% damage buff and blast radius increase. It stays on stowed weapon and also gather new stacks on stowed weapon. What is there to not like ? And on top of that elemental well buffs , god slayer rockets.
-
I think the damage bonuses are fine for what they do, but firing line specifically could use some bonus. Explosive light isn't just damage, it's also blast radius. Firing line is just precision damage.
-
4 RepliesIn some cases, because people complained. Others like Explosive Light? I'd like to know the same thing because you can't just reduce a buff from 70-15% and not tell anyone, especially since said buff is now overall weaker than two other fairly common perks, it is a PINNACLE PERK, and no one ever complained about Wendigo. I can't wait to see how they butcher perks like Onslaught or Magnificent Howl again.
