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.
