Zhalo is an exotic with elemental damage and 3 unique exotic perks. It chains damage to targets, refills your ammo, AND charges your super. In addition to it being arc. You get that, right?
The raid primaries don't have exotic perks. Even compared to Zhalo (which in itself is a highly situational weapon) they are completely subpar. If somehow Bungie reworked all the adept raid weapons to give them their own unique exotic perks, it'd be fine.
As it stands, just having an element on your primary doesn't make it exotic. These are very poorly watered down versions of exotics.

would not be surprised if the Adept versions have a twist on the normal versions perk to go with that element. EX. Fatebringer (normal): will have firefly, Whereas Fatebringer (Adept) will have a perk that is similar to firefly, but is 1.Arc, 2. could have more range or be like a mini arc-bolt grenade.

You mean, like every exotic in the game?

They will however have raid specific perks.They should be situational weapons in there respected raids like ToM is. And yes I did use raid primaries only during Y1 but more for the great perks they came with,there elemental damage was an added bonus.
