Petition to Return Elemental Damage to All Exotic Primaries
During the alpha and beta, the exotic primaries did elemental damage.
Thorn and bad juju were void, for example.
At game release, Bungie removed elemental damage and made all exotic primaries except for raid ones kinetic.
This makes exotic primaries nearly useless in nightfalls with burns and enemies with different types of shields.
Who wants to use hawkmoon and thorn when a fatebringer or word of crota does triple the damage in 1 bullet?
Because we can only hold one exotic, almost nobody uses exotic primaries in nightfall. This should not be the case. Hawkmoon, thorn, suros, mida, bad juju, red death etc are all great guns with some very useful perks, but are overshadowed by legendary raid primaries due to elemental damage. Choosing to use one of these guns will gimp out your damage.
I propose that Bungie return all original elemental damage types to each exotic primary. This way, these great weapons will no longer be limited to pvp or the odd useful moment in a raid.

3 RepliesThey should at least add them to the ones that make sense. Like hardlight being arc

Petitions do not work here and never will.

1 ReplyThat would make exotic primaries useful in PvE. I find myself using raid primaries 80% of the time because of elemental damage.

3 RepliesIf exotics did elemental damage then people wouldn't have a real reason to raid further than the armor... Crota hard would be completely useless (it will be, once i get the crux) if that was the case

Edited by LordDarkScream: 2/21/2015 9:11:25 PMTo be honest exotics should be the only one's with elemental burns.
-
I agree
-
I see your point, and it does suck that end game content pushes you towards not using exotic primaries, but it should probably stay how it is.

Maybe give us the option to unlock an exotic primaries elemental power with 5 exotic shards once fully maxed..

4 RepliesI would want this, why should raid gear be way better than the hardest to get weapons in the game? Fatebringer should not do more damage than Hawkmoon, it shouldnt even be more usefull. Hawkmoon with Arc, or Last Word with Arc would be awesome.
-
Raid primaries do elemental damage and that's enough I think. That makes them special. Remember you can only carry one exotic and that's where your Solar Ice Breaker, Solar Gally, Void Truth, etc come in to play. Also some weeklies and Nightfalls have no burn.
-
Technically, the Vex counts. Although, I understand the argument. I would you my suros, bad juju, and thorn more of they had elemental damage. Then again, can you imagine a void damage thorn during a void damage nightfall? Shit would be OP
-
Hard Light should do arc damage.

7 RepliesIts better like this because you have to earn your elemental dmg primarys instead of bying them from xûr

I don't fell all exotics should have elements, but at least a couple should have at least one and some should have 2.
