Should Exotic Primaries have elemental burn?
I would say that exotic primaries are obsolete in PvE because it is better to use raid weapons with elemental burn and just have an icebreaker or ghorn.
How often do you see someone using thorn or mida multi tool over fatebringer or VoC?
If you choose no please tell why in the comments
Edit: no one has come up with a legit reason why they shouldn't have burn
Edit 2: people say that elemental exotics would ruin raid/end game weapons but that is false because having an elemental primary would allow for a exotic special or heavy. Not to mention it would ruin the perfect combo of fatebringer, black hammer/icebreaker, and gjallarhorn.
Edit 3: more people keep saying that exotics are to easy to obtain and raid weapons are harder therefore they should be better but honestly who even has trouble with CE??? And VoG can usually be done with ease considering the fact that almost everyone is level 34s or at least 30+

1 ReplyWhat if we could upgrade them with exotic shards to have an element?

I think it should be like the orange weapons in borderlands2 where you can get standard or elemntal versions of that weapon

1 ReplyMakes no sense why they don't have burns. It would really only affect nightfalls/ heroics. And even then, using them would be quite the trade off. You lose the high damage potential of your special/heavy to make dealing with average enemies a little easier. In raids, you'd be able to kill some shielded enemies more easily if they're of the proper element and there would be more diversity in player's loadouts(PVE). PVP would be unchanged. It would be a great edition to the game that has baffled me ever since i got my suros regime the day after the game came out.

I get it man, i do. It always baffled me until i thought about it this way. Why have an exotic primary for pve when you mainly use the primary for clearing trash mobs? When you are raiding, its more important to have an exotic special/heavy gun so you can deal effectively more DPS when needed like on bosses. I think most exotic primaries are more suited towards pvp, hence no need for any burns. I hope this made sense lol

3 RepliesMida should be able to use all elements lol

11 RepliesOnly certain ones. I think UR and NLB need an element. Hard Light needs arc. Void for Bad Juju or maybe Thorn. Solar for something like the SUROS or maybe MIDA. That would be great
-
1 ReplySpecific ones. Hard Light, with Arc is an obvious one. Maybe The Last Word with Solar, because it seems fitting. Idk.
-
15 RepliesOriginally bad juju was suppose to be void. Also hard light use to be arc.
-
1 ReplyYes they should have a burn. Who uses an exotic primary in any nightfall, raid or poe activity? Fatebringer or fang vs arc, word of crota for void and voc for solar. If you have those weapons they will be more useful in any end game content than any exotic primary. And how exactly would a burn make an exotic primary to op? Just take a look at the necrochasm.

7 RepliesI don't think exotic primaries should have elemental burn. Exotic primaries are VERY EASY to get. Legendary primaries are not super hard to get but for most of them you need some kind of determination, playing a certain part of the raid for example, and then get lucky enough to drop them. Elemental primaries is a somewhat elusive kind of weapon (by which I do not mean they don't ever drop but you have to follow a certain path in order to get your hands on them). I have elemental primaries on all of my characters for all elements EXCEPT one solar primary. If exotic primary elemental weapons would be as easy to get as buying stuff from xur... Then that would make it way too easy in my opinion.

3 RepliesIt's because elemental primaries are end game activity rewards, therefore the only exotics that can only be earned in an end game activity have elemental damage. While I would love them to have it, it does defeat the endgame reward system because most exotic primaries can be won doing standard game modes, albeit rarely.
-
Yes she they should. Its kind of baffling they dont have it, theyre meant to be the best weapons in the game...

26 RepliesGive Hard Light solar damage, just for fun

Now that they piss primary burns everywhere they may as well. It used to be a neat raid reward.

Rainbow nlb :)

[b][i]I like using the bad juju in the VoG raid. I can literally do the raid with almost no reloads using that weapon!![/i][/b]
-
I favor Bad Juju for lots of PvE activities. I figure I have shotguns/snipers/FRs and heavy weapons in all burns, and i like to have my super available more frequently to make more orbs for teammates
-
1 ReplyBad juju should be void
-
The raid exotics do have an element. They have designed the game with the elemental primaries being the rewards for the hardest content and not random like most exotics.
-
4 RepliesNah because they have exotic perks and it balances with legendaries and the ability for exotics in pvp vs PVE
-
Fatebringer > All exotic primaries(even with a burn)
-
More damage to thrall.
