First Curse is the exotic version of its archtype, just like TLW and Hawkmoon are the exotic versions of their respective archtypes. If you change First Curse, it will no longer represent its archtype, and those of us who love this weapon for what it is, will lose the best hand cannon in the game. Unfortunately, I hate to break it to you, but contrary to what you think about First Curse, the problem (which is always the elephant in the room), is that you are simply not good enough to use the weapon.

  • I'm so sick of people saying, oh, this needs a buff because I can't always get a kill. Learn to fire the damn thing. Not saying that the author of this thread can't fire the weapon, if anything, a 59% precision kill ratio is phenomenal.

  • You are kind of a douchebag. I see you on every First Curse thread telling people they aren't good enough with the gun to ask for it to be changed. I don't agree that the gun needs a major buff, but the simple fact of the matter is that 1 person being really good with the gun doesn't mean it is powerful any more than 1 person being bad with it means it is terrible. Try adding to the conversation rather than going around trying to protect the thing that makes you a snowflake.

    There is nothing to add to the conversation, First Curse is the epitome, of perfection. I have already posted a video that settles once and for all, the levels of performance, that are possible with First Curse, all you have to do is practice. The problems with these kind of threads is that they invariably ask for all the benefits of the weapon, with additional significant buffs (ie. First Curse should two-shot), whilst simultaneously removing all of the things that make the weapon difficult to master. First Curse is a pure hand cannon. It has no fancy perks that increase precision damage, either specifically, or in certain situations. To those who rely on weapon perks, it can seem unappealing. But, the strength of First Curse, is in its passive abilities, which augment your already present hand cannon skills, and nothing more. I dislike being blunt but I have to be, the issue every time is with the user. You cannot step from TLW, or Hawkmoon, and expect similar levels of performance, just like you can not step from 1KS to NLB. You need actual hand cannon skills, and a complete reunderstabsing of your position on the battlefield. I am a forty-three year old individual, in respect to my reactions, I am in the autumn of my gaming career. Every one of those claiming that First Curse needs a buff, are easily fifteen or twenty years younger than I am. In many cases I am old enough to be the parent of some of these guardians. How does it feel to know that your parent is better at a game than you are? I am no gaming virtuoso either, I have had to learn the hard way how to use First Curse. Children in this day and age are special snowflakes, rather than learn something difficult, but worthwhile, they would rather come onto these forums moaning, and asking for things to be made easy.

  • Ok hop off the high horse. You didn't make the weapon Bungie did, so until they say they are happy with the gun and how it works it is not "perfect" none of the guns in Destiny are perfect (aside from Year One prenerf Gally). In short your opinion is yours but you don't have the right to put others down for their opinion. It's people like you that make the community so toxic, just from the way you have replied to these First Curse posts you are probably from Tumblr, so do everyone here a favor and take your crap back to that community it's not welcome here.

  • I do not know what Tumblr is I am afraid. The problem with this community is those guardians who fire a couple of hundred rounds with a weapon, and because they cannot adjust their rigid playstyles, suggest that there must be something wrong with the weapon. There is nothing wrong with First Curse it is a skill weapon, with a playstyle that is unique to its archtype. Learn how to use the weapon properly before asking for adjustments.

  • I tried to make it clear that I'd be fine if nothing happened to it. I only want to make it seem more competitive because I don't want people thinking "haha, that guys got da first curse he must be nooob." These are not MUST HAVE buffs for the gun. I have cleared a team in a round of Trials with it. I know I'm good with it, it's my favorite weapon.

  • I have used this archtype for almost two years, starting with a rare Regulator, before moving on to Timur's Lash, and now First Curse. There is nothing wrong with First Curse, it does not need a damage buff, fire rate increase, the ability to kill in two precision hits, or third eye. The only issue with this archtype is that it requires a more laid back, and relaxed stance, which balances tempo with urgency. You cannot spam bullets, every round has to count. When it comes to First Curse, I know what I am talking about. I have more than 20,000 kills, with a 55% PvP precision kills ratio, and a grimoire precision kills ratio of 70%.

  • I never said anything about changing the archetype. It's the replies that have been saying that, and I respectfully disagree.
