Izinagi’s Burden needs a damage buff
Bungie, I love the design of Izinagi Burden but i feel like it was not worth the grind you put us through to get it.
I thought, wow, a perk where you morph sniper rounds into one HUGE, monster shot! That will be awesome!! But its not. It sure looks cool, my sniper glowing and all, but the damage that even precision shots, with that 1 monster round, are not impressive. I’m talking doing damage to unshielded NF or strike bosses btw. I feel that this sniper does not live up to the hype and really needs a damage buff, especially considering the time and effort it takes to get it.
Just my opinion based on field testing.

Second: honed edge x4 does the damage of 5 regular shots. It's the highest burst damage weapon in the game and it's in the perfect spot for what kind of weapon it is, it's amazing for 1 shotting elites and majors and if your whole fireteam is using it with a machine gun your DPS will be more than enough. You can't compare it with Whisper of the Worm, that's the highest DPS gun in destiny history and they will never make a gun that can do more damage than it because then that would break the game. Also it has outlaw for a reason, it's meant to kill enemies with 1 shot for the increased reload speed so you can get honed edge x4 again for the next major or elite ie. it's main purpose isn't for boss DPS.

[quote] I’m talking doing damage to unshielded NF or strike bosses btw.[/quote] No wonder you think it doesn't do enough damage.

Being a kinetic weapon, it also works with tether, as whisper does not. Just another exotic with great synergy for hunters!

You're high. It already does more damage in a single shot than any other weapon in the game. It's fine as is.

It’s plenty strong, I’d just like to see lumafactions be able to reload into the hyper shot instantly, then it would become much more popular.
-
What? Werent Ehroar and his friends able to kill every strike boss with one shot each when combined with melting point and well of radiance? seems like enough damage to me..
-
Gotta use buffs, warlock rift, melting point or whatever, that’s what makes it shine

1 ReplyAre you using buff items to help your case? Like the rifts? Although the packed shot does deal catastrophic damage in some cases, it does deserve just a tiny smidge more of damage to really sink in that this gun is a force to be reckoned with in PVE. In PVP, it'd be fine as the damage would simply be similar as to where it is now.

1 ReplyIt's an adaptive frame sniper and not a heavy. If it was a heavy or a high impact sniper, it'd be doing a lot more damage. It's not meant to be used as a DPS weapon against big bosses, especially nightfall or raid bosses. If you need a strong enemy erased, use x4 honed edge to kill it or to heavily damage it. A x4 honed edge can one shot a large blocker in gambit with a critical.

It's living proof that reload canceling shouldn't stall your gun from firing.
