I understand the basis for the nerfs to Ikelos as a Special weapons. The Dps was too high as a Legendary Special weapon and made all other options irrelevant.
Bungie mentioned that the reason for the Ikelos Shotgun to have it's high Damage was because it was always meant to be a heavy, and so make it a heavy again!
Let the Ikelos SG be as great as it was intended to be in the the slot it was intended to exist in. 200 Rate of Fire, Void, 8 seconds of uninterrupted Trench Barrel (maybe rename it similar to "Whispered Breathing), all of it
I don't know how many warmind Players here had the Ikelos SG when it was a heavy, but if you want that sweet weapon back or maybe just want to speak about the Ikelos SG generally drop your thoughts in the forum!
Edit: for anyone who wasn't around for warmind and was curious, I'm going to link a Review video by xHOUNDISHx so you have a better idea of just how great this weapon used to be!

3 RepliesYou cant put Ikelos in the same slot as Acrius, especially a masterworked Acrius with 6 in the mag and up to 15 capacity (using 2 armor pieces with shotgun reserves)

5 RepliesNo it needs to stay a special weapon, the weapon system should go back to the D1 days, bring back elemental primaries, the Destiny 2 weapon system is a JOKE!!!!
