Should Whisper of the Worm be moved to the special slot?

Yes

No

Now this isn't really an argument more of a genuine discussion and just throwing ideas around tbh. My opinion: I think it would be fine if it did, so long as maybe a small nerf to the damage maybe? The problem is that whisper is one of those weapons that ever since the infinite ammo with all crit shots is gone, it's usage and usability compared to the likes of things like Lament, Gally, Sleeper, Parasite, etc just completely stomp whisper in terms of performance. And moving whisper to the special slot imo would actually make it more of a usable option in terms of perhaps solo play or even GM play. The big issue with that however becomes Izzy's, the other big boy sniper rifle that's known for it's damage. If whisper were to ever be hypothetically moved to the special, I'd probably buff izzy's to make it more of a burst dps weapon, and having whisper as the long dps weapon, in order to compensate for the general idea. However, this is all speculation and hypothetical, and Bungie probably doesn't even really care or notice lol. I just think the discussion is a fun idea. What are your thoughts? TL:DR I don't think it would be a huge deal albeit some things would need tuning in order for it to work, and I still probably wouldn't use it much even if it was moved to the special slot.

  • Not many encounters justify its use right now, because those encounters require burst DPS more than sustained but that doesn't mean it's not good in its current state. And as you said yourself, you probably wouldn't use it much. That's one of the strongest reasons why they aren't moving it to the energy slot, 'cause that slot is too bloated and there are many options better suited for the energy slot, exotic or no. You could say the same for it being in the heavy slot, but being in the heavy slot gives it more of a breathing room, 'cause at least the player will still have access to their energy slot.
