1 Strange Coin = 10 minutes of converting a primary weapon into a specific elemental damage type.
Sold by the Gunsmith.
Thoughts?
#Edit1 - It's been rightly pointed out that Xur's currency of choice is the Strange Coin. So maybe the Gunsmith sells one for Glimmer, while Xur offers them for Strange Coins? Problem with Xur is that he's not around all the time, so having both options would be nice.

#Edit2 - Changed the title of the Thread To Elemental Synthesis vice Ammo Packs. Also wanted to thank folks for feedback - positive and negative - and point out other good suggestions: (costing Motes of Light, Duration)

That's actually a really good idea

5 RepliesOnly Xur has a use for strange coins. What he does with them we may never knoe

5 RepliesNo, no and no, I disagree.............I DO however think Exotic primaries should have elemental damage, seems like such a no brainer to me? Why the hell don't they? Basically they have 1 single perk that makes them "exotic" (and most of them are not very "exotic" at all). This has been frustrating me lately, lol............./endrant

I approve! I have only reAd the first word Now I don't approve Wtf am I doing? Where am I?

I like the idea but like said its hurting raid weapons. It vould be a reward from eris bounty 1 pack instead of those synth we get from her..
-
sounds interesting and would help in a lot of scenarios, the only thing I see here is that it hurts the value of raid weapons would kinda be redundant and would make things a little easy for everything. the importance of raid weapons is to have done the raid to prove you completed it and be lucky and rewarded with a weapon that can make a lot of nightfall and coming raids easier. another thing is that the specials are suppose to make the job easier for high level targets and would help in certain situations with their elemental perks. that's the point of special weapons and heavy weapons.the synthesis idea is brilliant and I like the system the way it is, but I'm gonna go with my gut and say I'm not supportive for elemental synthesis.

They'd have to come up with better reasons to raid then.

Would have to be a lot of glimmer but I like the concept!

5 RepliesDid anyone notice that they came out with an update a MONTH AND A HALF AGO tht was talking about how they were going to make the gunsmith more useful? That seems to be the usual with their updates. They tell you something is going o happen and then forget about it for a few months.

2 RepliesWould be good also if you don't have a decent void weapon for thorn bounty in pvp, boom suros and/or red death now void damage sorted!
-
No thanks.

3 RepliesWay to overpowered haha. Needs to be 10 strange coins for 30 minutes and sold by xur. Even then, quite op.
-
Chuck Norris agrees
-
To me this seems overpowered. Maybe make it random bullet chance, or lowered "burn" damage.
-
4 RepliesCool idea. But should be disabled for nightfalls/weekly heroic.
-
Ohhhh I like that very much. #ElementalSynthesis

What about month challenges like flawless raider... or do hm raid 20 times.. and the reward for it should be pernament element converter xD
-
I like it.

Titans should have been able to buff your shield to arc, solar, void to combat enemy damage, Warlocks should have been able to add elementary damage to primary for a short time, Hunters should have been able to manipulate gun stats slightly. Gunsmith should have been able to change perks on legendary for motes, Should have added an armoursmith able to change perks on armour, Speaker should have sold titles eg thrall slayer, after you unlocked the x amount of kills. I'd posted a load of ideas in another thread.

Fantastic idea :)
-
This is smart
-
I wish I had thought of that. The closest I came was an exotic weapon that shoots back the elemental damage inflicted on you for a short time.
