Let's face it, the gun might as well have no perks. Zen Moment is a waste when its catalyst is +30 Stability, its Exotic trait actively encourages to be inaccurate and, as far as I can tell, it's the only Exotic gun (i.e. not including Bows or Swords) to not have a Grip or Stock. It is genuinely just a 150 Scout, already one of the most unforgiving archetypes in the game, that wants you to miss on purpose and its only slightly redeeming feature is good stats versus other 150s.
I genuinely think it's in the same tier as Salvation's Grip, and it was almost criminal for it to not be buffed alongside the likes of Lumina and Tarrabah with this expansion.

2 RepliesAs a Skyburner's user, I agree with you. (Although at least Jade Rabbit has the perk of being consistent.) Jade Rabbit is an oddly forgiving scout rifle, but honestly? It's held back by being in the most inconsistent Archetype of Scout Rifle, that gets screwed over if other players are rocking JUST enough Resilience, forcing it to take 4 shots to kill rather than 3. And Skyburner's has a similar problem, since its ADS boasts a similar fire rate. EXCEPT, Skyburner's isn't even consistent at hitting. Sometimes it does damage, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it registers instantly, sometimes it takes 10 seconds for any damage to register. Also the Hipfire Tracking is garbo. Honestly, there are so many Exotic Scouts left in unfavorable positions; Skyburner's, Jade Rabbit, Polaris Lance, etc. I just wish that they'd give those Exotics just as much love as the others. Don't even get me started on the Catalysts either. Like how the Catalyst for Skyburner's gives it Range, despite the fact that it has no damage fall off. Or Jade Rabbit's catalyst not boosting its handling. Even just reworking the masterworks to better suit the guns, is all I really want.
