Elemental Synthesis?

I was just wondering to myself, "Man. Wouldn't it be great to be able to apply a void burn to my universal remote for minotaurs?" Then, I had a realization! Why not burns synths? Yessir, burn synths. Little guys to pop and apply to your primary weapon EVEN IF IT ALREADY HAS A BURN. The effect would last for 10 minutes and have a cool down of 15 minutes. Yes, you can choose from any of the three burns: solar, arc, or void. Prices? That I'm not so sure about. Maybe 2 motes per synth? We get shit tons of motes, so that seems fair. Let me know what you think below or tell me if this has already been thought of. EDIT: To clear the air, it's adding an element, not a BURN to a kinetic primary. My apologies.

  • You might want to edit the original paragraph, rather than adding an addendum at the end. I do like the idea of a consumable the temporarily gives your held weapons the damage type attributed to the consumable, such as Solar Synthesis, Arc Synthesis or Void Synthesis. Or there could be a consumable which temporarily applies a specific burn modifier to your character only. Probably would have to be a five minute cool-down (which is how long the effect lasts, you just typed that the time you have to wait to use the consumable again is 25 minutes. The 15 minute cool-down time is fine) before you can pop another. Could even be a Xur item that costs a couple strange coins.

    • Bungie would up the health of all enemies because of that, making burn synths a requirement. So adding them would be pointless. Cool idea though. Maybe they could change a burn from solar to void or something like that.

      • I was thinking of something along these lines, but you made it permanent. You apply it to a kinetic weapon like red death and bam! You have a solar red death. Or you could change the burn on a weapon. An icebreaker for each burn.

      • wait, do you mean a consumable that applies an element to a kinetic primary? because the "burn" part sounds like adding the primary AND that elemental burn modifier as well, which would be OP indeed. if its the former, just a consumable that converts kinetic primaries into elemental damage, then it would be perfectly balanced. price? a strange coin, as well as being sold by xur. it would last 10 and cool off the same, just like ether seeds etc. maybe 2 coins for 3 or something? and he rotates the element each week. no but yeah, +1

        • I think exotic primaries should have burns anyway. In pve, people are using raid gear for primaries just because of the element. If exotics had elements, which they deserve, they would be more useful in pve

        • This is an awesome idea! Some are saying it might make the guns op but I cant see how, the only guns that dont have burns are primaries. And we all know primaries need a buff anyway.

        • would be cool, but feel could be a bot overpowered. and if there were such a thing it would be sold from xur for 7 strange coins or something like that i think
