Exotics that are underperforming

Just a list of exotics that aren’t to hot right now and need a buff. I’m going to exclude the ones in bad archetypes unless they are really bad. This is in no particular order. -crimson -trinity ghoul -sunshot -sweet business -wish ender (bows in general aren’t good right now but this one is sort of in a weird spot) -skyburners oath (when was the last time you thought of this gun?) -hard light -tarabah -sleeper simulant (please stop nerfing bungo, it’s already dead) -whisper of the worm Warlock armor (I’m a warlock main please forgive me) -eye of another world -verity’s brow -winters guile(I feel that it could have something more to it) -getaway artist -karnstein armlets -vesper radius -sanguine alchemy -apotheosis vail -wings of sacred dawn Titan armor -eternal warrior -khepri’s horn (maul hammer strike thing instead of thermite?) -ashen wake -alpha lupi -anteaus wards Hunter armor -graviton forfeit -mechaneers tricksleeves -khepris sting -lucky pants (harder to use with the introduction of special weapons, adding a buff that lets you use special weapons like fusions would make this a lot better) -oathkeepers (buffing bows will make this much better) -(used to be Gemini, thanks to those who corrected me) -lucky raspberry -[b]aeon[/b](except for maybe soul, it’s kinda ok, but then again it’s aeon) Tell me any ways you can think of to buff these exotics! Sorry if I didn’t put down certain exotics if you though if they need a buff, as I don’t play with many exotics, especially since I main warlock. Weapons like borealis could become much better if a sniper buff. Same goes for queen breakers, as it’s good, but there are better options and linear fusion rifles are not top dog in the heavy slot at the moment.

    • How about just say all of them? To be fair I'm vanilla, but every time I equip one I think to myself about the benefits and realize they are minimal and that's all they offer anyway. Not even something interesting game play wise.

        • Crimson - More damage would fix it. (Personally, I'd like to see it shoot more like Warden's Law/Graviton Pulse too. So it feels more like a Handcannon that has been modded to shoot 3 rounds rather than just a crappy Pulse Rifle. Then add in Red Death for the Pulse Rifle or "Modded Auto Rifle" variant) Sunshot - Outlaw would help it a lot. It has so-so reload, but a smaller than average mag size... Also, increasing the AoE of its explosions would help a ton to give it easier time getting the chain explosions it can do (So that it has some reason to be used over Ace, especially when Ace's Catalyst comes and gives Ace's explosions more damage) Hard Light - Remove/reduce the ridiculous shake on the gun. Also, slight reload speed increase? Bonus: This and Borealis should remember what Element you've set it to through zone changes and dying. Tarrabah - Keep stacks when swapping weapons. Sleeper Simulant - Allow something that isn't Grenade Launcher to be useful in the Heavy slot... (Like, really, why would I use a LFR that requires headshots to deal damage, when I can instead just use a GL and spam out shots that deal the same damage so long as they make contact with an enemy? This isn't even accounting for god rolls of things like Spike Grenades or Wendigo perk to INCREASE the damage) Whisper of the Worm - Unnerf its damage a bit. White Nail also adds 1 ammo to reserves when it procs. Armour is tricky... Since a lot of it comes down to there being something much better that is more deserving of your singular Exotic slot...

            The list is a long one, but I got most of them. (Link above)

            • I actually saw someone using skyburners oath yesterday on equinox in IB. Weird. But I think that wish ender should gain true sight out of its scope aswell.

              • Only going to touch on hunter armor since only a madman would try to do all of these: [quote]Hunter armor -graviton forfeit[/quote] Graviton as it is only provides 2-3 seconds of additional invisibility which is basically useless. It should give you at least 5 seconds of invisibility and an overshield/health regen while invisibile. [quote]-mechaneers tricksleeves[/quote] Bad exotic through and through, I mean even if sidearms were good it’s still just ugh. Keep the increased reload speed/handling, make it to where you don’t have to swap while critically wounded to buff damage, and have a perk that overflows the next mag if you get a kill with buffed rounds. Also buff sidearms since they kind of took a hit with Forsaken. [quote]-khepris sting[/quote] It was better in D1 but Liars Handshake took its place in D2. Make it so where smokebombs activated on melee hits remain longer, you keep truesight while in smoke, and smokebombs activated on melee do extra damage. [quote]-oathkeepers (buffing bows will make this much better) [/quote] Not much can be done until bows get buffed. If anything you could increase bow handling and reload to make it better. [quote]-lucky raspberry [/quote] Pretty good in PvE but needs to be better to actually warrant use over Raiden Flux. Give arcbolt grenades the warlock treatment when it comes to chaining, maybe give a slight damage buff as well while wearing. [quote]-lucky pants[/quote] You actually missed this “gem” in your list. Give it the sturm/drang treatment and make it to where rounds reloaded from precision hits and overcharged and do more damage. [quote]-aeon swift[/quote] Another missed trash exotic. Make it to where dodging grants allies without the exotic on their class ability back while allies with the exotic on get all abilities refreshed and a portion of their super recharged.

                      • I really don't agree with your Warlock list. Or, maybe these two exotics are so bad that you forgot that they exist: Wings of Sacred Dawn Apotheosis Veil

                        • Borealis? Hm. I haven't used this much. Can it OHK a Guardian during their super? If the elements are the same?

                            • Khepris sting. Best exotic in d1. Literally not even worth the time it takes to sell in d2. Please just put it back to how it was

                            • Gemini jester is actually fine, it's just a situational exotic that requires knowledge of when to use it effectively and what to do when you use it. Kinda fun to use on a tether hunter too.

                            • Like 70% of these items dont belong here. Tarrabah is very good. Most of those exotic warlock armors are very good. Like verity's brow = godmode activated in PvE you will have more grenades than you want to use. Even better with the curated IB fusion.

                              • Trust me, Gemini Jester does not need a buff. It can be used extremely effectively as a support tool for your team in Crucible. I should say that I have absolutely abused the hell out of those boots.

                                • Sleeper Simulant. this is *the* weapon that should be way better than it is. it is a *slog* to get this thing and it hits like a wet noodle. it should have better DPS than rocket launchers and should absolutely *RUIN* everything when you land crits... like it should do about as much damage as a full 1000 voices shot when you crit. Maybe giving critical kills dragonfly where not only do you kill a high health target but it takes the other things around it with it. The power creep demands this of exotic power weapons

                                  Wish Ender? Seriously? You’re clearly doing it wrong. Headshots. For the majority of these, you need to watch videos on how to use them properly. Each one has a specific purpose.
