I think Bungie thought that because certain primaries had a certain element, that's why they were overused. Since they still see the same thing with King's Fall primaries without elements, maybe they'll realize it's the weapons themselves that are preferred and not the specific element.

i use eidolon ally and mur mur in pvp just to annoy people.
-
I agree but you think Bungie uses logic like this?
-
But what raid primaries are in heavy use? None of them, because they do not have elements.
-
Smite of Merrain with firefly is fantastic.
-
I didnt say it wasn't.
-
[quote]None of them, because they do not have elements.[/quote] No, because they are just generally bad weapons lol
-
I still use VoC to general applause/saltiness depending on which side you are on.
-
I took into meaning that he meant the current raid weapons are not used because of no burn. Which if that's the case, I don't think it's true.
-
I love my pulse. Its got a good roll on it. Its on my warlock ATM I think
-
The old raid weapons were so popular because they were essentially God rolls Not because of the element they had
-
I don't know I kinda disagree. The old raid weapons had great rolls, don't get me wrong. But I definitely used them exclusively because they had elemental damage on them
-
But why though? That elemental damage only came into play in 2 activities ?
-
Well if your referring to the Raid and the NF, then yeah, those were the only PvE things I would do each week. Once your at endgame, what other PvE content is there to really do? It should also be noted, tho I do enjoy doing the raids, Im much more of a PvP player.
-
Well yeah Pve daily heroic missions, strike playlist patrol even And not the raid, but the weekly heroic strikes at the time and the nightfall were the only two activities with elemental burns, which has since been nerfed so that we do less damage than the enemies.
-
Maybe not so much kings fall but the previous 2 raids there were plenty of ultras with elemental shields. So using elemental primaries was the obvious choice to me. Never do the dailies or even just heroic strikes. And yeah you definitely can do good damage to shielded enemies with kinetic weapons now, but you still do significantly more with elemental weapons
-
I don't think I've ever used a kingsfall weapon besides the heavy machine gun for a little while. They are so bad lol
-
This is true I don't think it's the elements that are the issue it's the weapons themselves
-
Yeah they are pretty trashy. Prison of elders drops some nice ones though that wreck PvE and PvP
