I am hilariously disappointed by the new Luna's Howl and Recluse for PvE

Luna's Howl: Starting off with Luna, Magnificent Howl has zero of its original flavor and while I didn't expect it to have the original 240% buff I also didn't expect it to be a crappy Momento Mori. Precision kills before reloading add 1 Magnificent Howl round for each kill and additional precision kills refund 1 Magnificent Howl round. That change is basically a PvE death sentence. This change definitely should've been that it refunded Magnificent Howl rounds on precision hits until a kill was obtained. The true high point of Mag Howl was being able to focus tanky targets until you missed or defeated them which is now no longer possible even though this perk is now kill activated. As for the other Luna perks there's no Zen Moment, Drop Mag was left out and there are no interesting or unique perk combos. I might've still been semi interested to see an Explosive Payload and Precision Instrument roll, but why would you guys expect anyone to be excited for this?? Its best roll is Heal Clip and Incandescent but Igneous Hammer already has that locked down. As a 140 Luna's is easily worse than Zaoli's Bane The Recluse: I've been swapping back and forth between the original sunset Recluse, the shiny vendor roll, as well as my perfect roll on the reprisal and the new variants feel terrible. The original is a laser and the new version starts out pulling hard right and then hard left which makes zero sense for a 100 Recoil Direction stated weapon, because the new guy feels like an even 50 Recoil Direction at best. If I ever need to shoot perfect donuts as a mechanic I'll keep it in mind though. Luna and Recluse were the two weapons I was most excited for but they're also now the two weapons I'm most disappointed by which feels real bad on the whole. Probably wouldn't mind getting their perfect roll in shiny drops, but their drop rates are so abysmal I'm losing my motivation to grind them. Grinding Edge Transit also probably took all the steam I had out of me Positive end note: The Mountaintop is crazy fun and while I wasnt excited for either Hung Jury or Edge Transit I have enjoyed using the good rolls I've obtained. Explosive Payload/Kinetic Tremors is a fun combo and I'm looking forward to getting that roll on Midnight Coup For players: If you really want to grind a specific shiny weapon do not do the weapon quests to earn the shiny weapon versions they are account wide and the shiny versions will not drop until that quest is complete. I cleared all my quests in one day and that was a mistake
