Click Spoiler for Original Post:
[spoiler]As we all know, with the release of The Dark Below, all current exotics are upgradeable at Xur (depending on availability). For weapons, this increases the maximum attack from 300 to 331.
However, slightly before the DLC, Bungie buffed the Vex Mythloclast from 300 to 323. This has created confusion on whether or not the VM will be upgradeable to 331.
Personally, I would very much like to see a buff available to the Vex Mythoclast, like all other Exotics; as at the moment the weapon is below all other Exotic Weapons (Max ATK of 323 compared to 331 of all other Exotic Weapons). I do not feel that this particular Exotic should be sub-par; especially when considering the difficulty of obtaining it.
My question to you Guardians is what do you think should happen to the Vex Mythoclast's attack values? Attached to this post is a poll for you to vote.
PS: @Bungie @DeeJ - I, and many other Guardians, would like to see an official response on the upgradablility of the Vex Mythoclast
Thank you for reading and have a good day,
EDIT - Please BUMP this post so Bungie has a higher chance of seeing it. Hopefully they can give some sort of verdict.[/spoiler]
[b]MAJOR EDIT - It seems DeeJ has confirmed on Twitter that due to the VoG exclusivity of the Vex Mythoclast, it is not going to be available to upgrade. This news comes just a day after patch 1.1.0.3; which bumped the ATK of all other VoG exotics to 331 (Whilst the Vex Mythoclast has been confirmed to still be 323).
Looks like we lost this time, Guardians. The Vex Mythoclast will soon become a faded memory.
RIP. Vex Mythoclast 2014-2015.[/b]

Mythoclast should be 191643438 attack and stats that go off the chart. It's not good enough needs a major buff. It's lacking in every aspect.

Bungie said the vex should be slightly stronger than other exotics. Before the DLC the vex was 323 while other exotics were 300 and post DLC other exotics are 331 so the new vex should be 323 + 23 = 346. PS: I have 2 vex mythoclast

Before the DLC vex was 323 attack and other exotics were 300 attack whereas post DLC all the exotics are 331 attack so the new vex should be 323 + 23 = 346 attack. PS: I have 2 vex mythoclasts :)

I'd say keep it as it is now and sell the upgrade or buff it a week or two before House of Wolves drops.

3 RepliesIt's fine as it is right now as there are no level 33 enemies...yet

Normally after the next expansion, last season's endgame weapon is replaced by this season's endgame weapon. It's super acquirable now because everyone can potentially out level the hard mode of VoG. So they aren't going to buff it. and besides is 8 Stat pts of damage. It's insignificant.
-
It does 323 base damage plus solar damage but the other exotics only do 331 base damage. They are in line.
-
As cool as the buff would be, I feel the increased attack of the vex was intended to have it be a very powerful exotic that you could raid with in Crota day one and have an advantage since you wouldnt have new/leveled gear yet. I don't think it will buff, but I also wouldn't complain either.
-
Buff it, goddam it just buff it. It losing its exoticness
-
It needs to be more powerful than all other weapons it's an exotic fusion rifle primary it was fine how it was originally just don't allow it in the crucible. I've always thought that the crucible should have its own select few weapons to choose from in a load out screen that would make it even for all just let everyone pick the armour they want then no ones complaining. Problem solved :-)

1 ReplyI voted 331 because 350 would be OP
-
Increase the god damn amml capacity!
-
The vex needs more of a buff in PVE which should be its attack at 331 or higher aswell as raising the magazine size back to 56 not 35 the handcannons are destroying all guns in the crucible (HAWKMOON) needs nerf
-
What if the new hard mode raid weapon maxes out above 331?

It fulfills it's purpose as a decent raid weapon for Crota's end. With the next expansion they should allow xur to buff the mythoclast further to stay in line with other new exotics.
-
2 RepliesOr maybe just leave it as it is ....its ab exclusive raid weapon and should stay that way and im not saying this becausr i dont have it because i do but why do players want to keep it surely grinding for even better weapon would be more fun instead of just upgrading that one
-
I mean I don't own the gun ( wish i did) but I think the since the vm was the hardest gun to get pre dlc it deserves to be a little better or at least on par with the rest
-
I think it should go to 341 and the Nechrocasm should be 351.
-
The upgrade to 331 would be sufficient. Currently holding a vanilla vex in case of upgrade.
