If we didn't have the ability to ascend gear, gameplay in house of wolves wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable. This is because the vendor weapons are simply inferior to the weapons we saw at launch. I am glad to see that bungie implimented some new perks into the roll for weapons, but this is also a problem. It seems they were so hell-bent on pushing these new perks that they lost sight of some of the old perks that made these weapons so good. It's at the point where there will never be weapons as good as those pre-house of wolves, such as voc, fatebringer, black hammer. When you look at the new weapons, even POE and queen's weapons, there us just no comparison. The new weapons plain suck!

Funny, the guys I play with and I were talking about this yesterday. Our best guns are the VOG ones we ascended. With the exception of black hammer, the VOG guns still rule.

VoG and vanilla weapon are nore or less a jack of all trades. HoW is for specific stuff. Dry Rot alone is a beast in pve almost taking over found verdict. ash factory is beautiful and high road soldier is my fave.

1 ReplyThe wolves leash and six dreg pride are amazing weapons. The stats on Six Dreg mirror Fatebringers. Fatebringer is better for croud control because of firefly and explosive rounds (hate explosive rounds btw) but Six Dregs Pride is a good alternative especially vs fallen enemies. I like my Wolves Leash far better then my VoC. I mean what's so great about VoC? The full auto? Any legendary scout can roll full auto. The solar burn? Wolves Leach can be obtained with any of the 3 burns and on top of that it fires as fast as the Mida. Even though autos suck the Wolfslayer is better the the CE or VoGue autos. Nothing touches Black Hammer but saying the HoW weapons suck is a stretch especially with the ToO weapons like the Scholar and The Messenger (best legendary pulse rifle period).

Yup. Black hammer is actually an exotic in disguise. It's the only gun with white nail. Bungie seems to have forgotten what made the original weapons and the weapons from the raids > everything else in PvE. 1) the perks. 2) primary elemental damage. 3) raid weapons have 2 perks and a enemy race perk.

1 ReplyYay! And in year 2 all your weapons are obsolete. Because a 10 year relationship is boring.

1 ReplyI like dreamwaker from queen and tomorrow's answer from too. The poe weapons pretty much suck. The vendor weapons can be good with the right roll. But the ib weapons a suck too until u get the right roll on them

4 RepliesYep. Even the three new exotics from the queen ciphers (Queen's Bow, Lord of Wolves, and the side arm) are kind of poopy. There are some really nice weapons from ToO though. My solar Scholar has essentially retired my VoC.

4 RepliesAgreed, few weapons are worth using after HOW launched. I'm using six dreg's promise because I got it with solar burn and the sniper rifle variks sells because it has extra damage against fallen arc burn and okish impact. Can't remember using many new weapons.

Marshmallow guns.

2 RepliesLike why does majority of variks guns have shank burn?
