Should Exotic Primaries Have Elemental Damage?
Title says it all. Remember in the Beta, when Bad Juju had Void damage and SUROS Regime had Solar damage? The lack of elemental damage on an Exotic primary means they are often replaced by Legendaries in PvE (the burns don't have any effect in PvP, obviously). I think it'd be great. What do you Guardians think?
Edit: Wow guys, over 100 responses! So glad to see I'm not the only one.

1 ReplyI agree with you 100%. You are correct in the fact legendary primary's are always favoured against exotics. This should not be the case. Exotic primary's only useful in crucible. Except Red death maybe due to its health regen.

1 ReplyReally? Never played the beta as much as I did in the Alpha.. I wished Hard light [b]ACTUALLY[/b] fired Arc bullets!!!! Lol

2 RepliesI always thought they should. Always struck me as odd the only place to get an elemental primary was a raid.

Some. Not all. Red death no, Suros no, last word no, hawk moon no, no land beyond no. Stuff like that. It should only be given an element if the gun just screams for one like bad juju or thorn.

2 RepliesEdited by M4H PUNISHER: 9/3/2015 11:18:30 PMI am quite sure they shelved burn exotics for the Raids.... No ones going to want to grind raid after raid for a Vex Mythoclast when they already "Xurned" a Solar Suros Regime... Or grind for a Necrochasm when they have a Arc Red Death or Arc Hard Light Agent of Nine sells... Exotic burns like those would make the raids so utterly useless and pointless which is not what Destiny, or Bungie and Activisions idea.... So personally it was a great idea, either play an get bored with weapons given to you right off the bat, or get bored of raids months and months after release.... Bungie made the better move by making only Vex and Necro burn primary exotics....

Its stupid that they don't have burns it makes most of them get shelved for PVE

3 RepliesMy primary exotics are largely unused because they have no burn - would love an excuse to run around with suros, juju or hard light equipped - it would add more fun to figuring out a loadout for particular missions, especially for us non-raiders who have no elemental primaries [ive completed a couple raids but i dont have huge blocks of time to dedicate to running them over and over trying to get one]

2 RepliesIt would be incredible if you could equip an Artifact that would change kinetic damage to any of the three damage types.
-
Yes cos if some legendries have it so should exotics which are better
-
My son and I was just talking about this. It makes no sense at all. I've never understood why Destiny put handcuffs on exotics.
-
The year one ones shouldn't because they were pure rng based. The exceptions for this would be the bounty ones. As for year 2, since it sounds like we have to do quests now to get exotics, I'd say yes for them.
-
Yes, the fact that legendarys have a burn and exotics don't is just stupid.
-
Some should.
-
-
Nah, they're fine without it. Only one that would make sense that doesn't have it is Hard Light. That should be arc.
-
1 ReplyIt would be great, but no need. I think the burns on raid weapons are what make them worthwhile. It's what makes going through raids to earn them worth the hours of pain and agony. If they didn't have burns, I wouldn't feel the need to get them.
-
I've been saying this forever and if you think they would be overused? So the fatebringer and vision are not overused...? Using elements would actually make us more flexible but everyone from year 1 would still ballerhorn everything to death. No land beyond with arc would be a captain killer.
-
Yes, if not, slightly higher dmg than legendaries
-
YESSSSSS
-
2 RepliesExotics are ment for certain situations is all. Never ment to dominate all other weapons. Cause then nobody would have any legendaries. We would all look more the same.
-
1 ReplyVex mythoclast and nechrochasm have burns I guess they only want raid exotics to have burns idk lol
-
Hard light should have arc No time to explain and probably the new auto rifle have arc damage
-
1 ReplyIf bad juju had a burn I don't think I would ever use another primary
