What is your most disappointing roll that turned out to be good?
One of the interesting things to have come out of this patch is how we redefine an optimum roll. By way of example, I got an Eyasluna to drop for my hunter yesterday with Sureshot/Underdog/Explosive rounds and Icarus. Until this week I would have instantly dismantled it on the basis that it does not at least have a range perk and I have a couple of 'god roll' Palindromes and LHFs, but with the new HC range nerf + accuracy buff changing the character of HCs (for the better in my opinion) I thought I would invest some motes and take it for a spin for science - It was an absolute beast. Got a couple of triples and shut down a couple of supers with it in the first game. I have 3 or 4 Rifled Barrel Eyaslunas sitting in the vault that are, according to accepted wisdom 'better' but this oddball roll just felt great and I am not sure why.
I would be interested to hear if any other guardians got a drop that they nearly dismantled, only to discover it was an undiscovered monster.
