Exotic sword. Why?

So, before everyone jumps down my throat, hear me out on this one... At least for me, I know ever since I got my legendary sword, I haven't put it down. It absolutely destroys in PvE, and I've even finally figured out how to be effective with it in PvP. So, what is the appeal of changing it to an exotic, and taking up your exotic slot with it? Also, keep in mind that since we can no longer reforge legendary weapons, those ideal perk loaded legendary weapons we've used in the past will be EXTREMELY tough to come by, and will be completely at random. I don't know what the perks will be on the exotic sword. From what I understand, they will be VERY cool and do more damage... But will it be enough incentive over the legendary version, which is already outstanding, to not only lose your legendary sword (yes, you can get another with a different character. But for the purpose of this conversation, let's assume you only have one), but use up that exotic slot? Thoughts? EDIT: I have reached out to someone that already has an exotic sword and have confirmed that you get to KEEP your legendary version. I'm taking his word for it, but that's what the dude said.

  • Well my plan at least is to restart my Titan multiple times to get an exotic and legendary version of each.

  • My thought process is: it comes at 310 so maybe I can infuse it into my legendary rockets for 310 rockets then pull another from blueprints because it's pretty

  • All three of the exotic swords can a new attack. Fire gets an uppercut, Void gets an area attack, Arc gets a range attack. My plan is just to get an exotic of each element then delete a character use the spark of light and get a legendary one to pass around. This is assuming you loose the legendary sword with the quest. I hope its not the case.

      You get to keep your legendary sword when you get the exotic everyone keeps making these posts but don't do their research. Bungie isnt completely dumb

      • The exotic swords will most likely be 310, they each have unique abilities such as bolt caster shoot a lightning beam, dark drinker having an aoe and raze lighter having a powerful uppercut

      • How do you use swords effectively in PvP? I know you get increased damage resistance, and I know you can block rockets but...what else?
