What the hell is going on with the Pocket Infinity?

Exotic weapons are supposed to be the rarest weapons, unique, and powerful. I particularly expect the Exotic bounty weapons to be worth the grind. However when I got the Pocket Infinity after having to go through numerous challenges, I was disappointed to find it was...well...shit. The image above compares the Pocket Infinity to my 77 Wizard (which I got at level 21 from a Rare Engram). Both their damage maxes out at 300. And from then on, the Legendary 77 Wizard is just better in almost every way. The Charge Rate, Impact, Range and Stability are all better on the 77 Wizard. The Range is particularly appalling on the Pocket Infinity. Perhaps the only thing that might make the Pocket Infinity better than the Wizard is the Full Auto mode, which in itself has become a dreadful "bonus" given that the mag size of the Infinity has been reduced from a maximum size of 8 down to 3. So tell me Bungie - what was the point in me grinding for an Exotic weapon, when my Legendary weapon that I got at level 21 is far better in any aspect of the game? I feel like I've completely wasted my time going for that weapon. [b]If you agree, give this a bump, give it a like, tell your friends, tell anybody who might care. Something needs to be done about all these nerfed Exotics.[/b]

It does not make the more rare or necessarily more powerful. Exotic items in destiny just have one or more attributes that make them exotic. I wish more people would understand this.

      • It's really the only weapon I use in crucible and to of the leader board with a positive kd every game because you only need to charge it once and your guaranteed a kill because of the full auto with increased accuracy do so whinning and level it up

        • Agreed. I got the Vanguard fusion rifle "Light / Beware" from a level up of Vanguard rep. Far better than Pocket Infinity. Worst Exotic I have next to Super Good Advice.

        • All I can say is maybe try learning how to use the Pocket Infinity? It is the best PvE fusion rifle in my opinion. I've seen someone chain almost 20 shots on Atheon with it. With a 3 round magazine. It is garbage in PvP though.

          • I thought PI would replace my Purifier VII that I loved but it has not and much of it is because of the magazine size. It's an EXOTIC. It should be better than my Legendary but it's not. Even the charge time isn't that significant compared to my fusion from New Monarchy. Disappointing after all the work completing the PI bounty. :-(

          • Is there a dam petition for bringing the pocket infinity back to somewhat common sense on PvE or something !! I would definitely sign that...

          • because a boy cried wolf and in destiny forums people cry nerf. some of the exotics got nerfed, some (juju and thorn) were not good from the get go. deej even sent an apology message that they understand how frustrating it might be to get through the bounty and then see the shit end of the stick. that's why they promised to buff it. still waiting

          • The fact that they are balancing guns based off the heinous PVP in this game is why all these awesome weapons are getting ruined. They need to do two sets of stats. Either that or not allow exotics in PVP. It's not even like they need to do two sets of stats for every weapon in the game, just the exotics. But yeah, I stopped working on leveling my Infinity after they nerfed it. I guess it could still be good in PVP, but I too have a 77 Wizard that I prefer.

          • Exactly, they listened to the people who complain because they feel it's overpowered. The fact is. It's an exotic it's supposed to be above legendary and all other rarities and on top of that we had to do these near impossible quests that take forever to complete that are in themselves harder to find than casual exotics so I think we deserve overpowered weapons for completing them.

            • I still like using my infinity but they def killed it. Thankfully i got mine the first week i played. They shouldve lowered the recharge instead of the bs reload speed add.
