I can see why Bungie decided to make Young Wolf's Howl underwhelming in comparison to the other Exotic Swords.
That doesn't mean that it should remain the way it is.
In its current state, the Young Wolf's Howl is a very weak Sword overall. It holds less ammo, does less damage, and consumes more ammo when using the RT attack (this is in comparison to the other Exotic Swords). There is no incentive to use this Sword at all and honestly could be hindering your overall load-out.
[u]My Idea:[/u]
I believe that Bungie should make a Quest that is on par with the Quests that reward you with the other Exotic Swords.
I haven't thought much about the Quest itself , but I think it would be cool if it involved Lord Radegast and his Artifact considering the fact that his Artifact is only beneficial when using a Sword.

If you like my idea and have your own ideas about the steps required to complete the Quest to make the Young Wolf's Howl better, you can private message me or post a comment down below. If you do private message me, I will make an effort to edit your idea into my post and give credit where it is due.
Also, if you like this idea, Bump, Up-Vote, Like, or do whatever you can to make this post popular so Bungie can see this and possibly respond!

I'd like to see maybe a quest to turn it into one of those Spears that you see in the lore videos with the Guardians hunting the ahamkara.

1 ReplyRT attach should spawn Wolfpack rounds. Nuff said.

1 ReplyIt makes sense that it's not as good as the other swords, the other 3 have a quest to get them but for the howl you just have to complete the RoI main story line, which can be done in a much shorter amount of time.

Best way is to equip dark drinker....

I still don't have l year 2 exotic swords!!!!!

1 Reply1. Dismantle 2. Use shard to make another exotic better

2 RepliesEdited by Angelus Reprobi: 10/26/2016 2:01:41 AMMake rt cost 5. Make the armor break debuff stack with tether, sunstrike and warlock burn. That's all it needs, seriously it's not terrible you just need the relic foot swords and know when to burn the boss with the attack. It's not desgined to do damage like raze-lighter. Stop using it like it.

2 RepliesThey should give it an emote where you could hold it like a wiener and hump the air. It would be everyone's favorite sword.

Only new exotic I didn't at least give a test run of.

7 RepliesHere's my idea to make it better: 1). Unequip Young Wolf's Howl . 2). Hold square to dismantle.

3 energy The special attack is now a shockwave, mimicking a crota sword special. The shockwave debuffs that which isn't destroyed... [spoiler]i saved Christmas [/spoiler]

It would be easier to just make the ammo usage the same as other swords (5 per special) instead of double the usual standard. Its the only reason I don't use it in the first place. Don't get me wrong, the ability itself is awesome, but its just not even close to being worth it for the ammo cost compared to other swords.

3 RepliesIdea: Have an exotic quest to transform it into one of the axes. Would be on par with the other exotic swords but it's RT is still the debuff slam (costs only 5 ammo instead of 10).
-
Get rid of the sword, give us the axe, problem solved.

Edited by Wolfishhat8131: 10/25/2016 5:18:25 PMI would love to see stacking debuff for YWH on a per-player basis So, one slam hit gets you 15%, the next player gets you 30%, exc exc. Maybe tone it down for balance's sake. That could be a fair for the 10 energy price tag and allow lower-level players the ability to contribute in the raid vs aksis

1 ReplyKeep in mind that this is pretty much the easiest Exotic to obtain in the history of Destiny, even easier than the old Super Good Advice bounty. It really shouldn't be that strong out of the box due to its easy requirement to get it.

I'm using exotic shards more in RoI. It was useful.
-
I took my free exotic shard for playing through the story.

Basically is a debuff sword. You swing, and switch to your special, shoot, reload, switch back to your sword and repeat... pretty much like "melting point/tether/viking funeral" debuffer.

Yeah maybe a quest to bring it to true form and renamed just "Wolf's Howl" then either one of two options: -Reduces R2 ammo cost to 5. Add intrinsic radagasts artifact perk to reflect energy Or -Keep it the same cost, however the more fireteam members with "Wolf's Howl" equipped gain bonus agility, stacks up to 5 (6 players). Also the increased crit damage from the R2 burn increases the percentage up by 5% per fireteam member (up to 40% I think that would be). Would like the latter honestly. While the first would be good, it would be just another sword exotic really. However the second would benefit from team play, and play into the wolf pack mentality. The 40% increase damage on burn plus high speed sounds OP until you realize everyone has to have the sword out in order for it to work. Basically a fantastic raid boss killer, which is where large fireteams are anyway. Have a dedicated R2 smasher while the other 5 R1 at 40% more damage per R1 swipe

The RT attack should use less energy. Plain and simple.

2 RepliesAnyone know how its debuff factors? Like how effective is it? Does it stack with tether or WoL?

Remove the hop and make it do mid air slams.
