The more I look at Trace Rifles the more I feel like they need to be a primary again
0.73 TTK in crucible, terrible damage in PvE especially now that 2 special builds just got neutered. I really can't think of a single Trace Rifle that's honestly worthy to be called a special weapon in this sandbox. Buff them or slap that lil white brick insignia on it because it for sure doesn't deserve the green brick

I wouldn’t mind Trace Rifles if the artifact champion mod for them wasn’t so trash. Having it work like Overload Auto/SMG (which is already not reliable if it’s not for Osteo Striga) and have it run Special feels bad, when you get Divinity, you might as well forget about that mod. I know there’s good traces like Acasia’s Dejection, Navigator, maybe Path of Least Resistance, Prometheus Lens, Cold Heart, and Divinity but in the current age of Destiny, the amount of Trace Rifles being used would be limited unless it got a use in GMs without having to rely on a Artifact.

10 RespostasHow did double specials get neutered? People keep saying this, but since Lightfall... Dbl special efficacy has skyrocketed. Previous to the armor charge system... special finisher took 1/3 of your super bar to proc. This highly restricted its potential ammo output BUT was still seen as top tier. Now it takes 3 armor charges... there's no cooldown, it can be used with surges. Unlimited special on demand for you & your entire team. So, tell me how dbl special was neutered? Seriously. You mean unlimited heavy, and that's a bug... it became much more accessible and pronounced because of how special finisher works now. But double specials are more effective and viable then it has EVER been since armor charge mechanics were introduced & the change to special finisher.

15 RespostasNever a primary. Still good in PvE. PvP they have niche uses that can be extremely effective.

5 RespostasThey were never primary But I agree they should be, they don't do enough DPS to justify being special
