Seeing newer weapons get a catalyst before some of the older ones kinda suck. Since I'm here asking,
I'll pitch a simple catalyst that doesn't do much for it in terms of DPS but gives it such a big quality of life change.
Catalyst - Increase maximum charge time by 1 second, +15 handling.
*Edit*
Thanks everyone for reading and posting. The reason behind the catalyst wasn't to make the weapon extremely powerful because let's face it, it's actually pretty powerful as is. It just needs a little QoL improvement that doesn't push it to the OP status when standing the lines of PvE and PvP. I like one of the suggestion that brings up a bigger radius for the poison cloud which ultimately doesn't decrease TTK which is an important factor in the balancing.
I mean look at LoW with release the wolves perk, that went sideways really quick.

Comment for a nice catalyst would make it heal you slightly for every smoke cloud kill and every kill that you get with the smoke cloud extend its duration or ads another smoke cloud to the area.

1 ReplyI definitely think it deserves a catalyst, but your idea for it seems a bit lackluster. How about: -Volatile Toxicity: If an enemy dies while affected by this weapon's poison DoT, they explode, spreading the poison further.

Edited by Whopping Dingers: 12/3/2019 12:03:28 PMLanding a poison arrow shot makes the next poison arrow shot have increased poison DoT. Stacks x 3 and lasts however long rampage or archers tempo does.

1 Replyjust gives you more time to master the weapon before it gets a catalyst and all the normies jump to it

5 RepliesGive it dragonfly and meganura. No need to keep meganura tied to 1 scout rifle that pretty much nobody uses. I'd also be happy with dragonfly, with dragonfly spec built in.

1 ReplyThat's a pretty bad catalyst. Maybe something like "Flash Powder". Adds a blinding affect within the radius of the poison cloud. Another cool one would be a debuff effect. Not 30%, but maybe 20%. Something that makes sense for a primary weapon to have ya know?

I'd maybe have decreased draw time or that poison cloud on non precision hits. Maybe that's too much tho
-
Right???? F!@# all these haters in your comments the weapons not perfect every weapon exotic I game could use a catlist. no weapons in D2 are perfect unless perfect means pvp perfect for you maybe. All the weapons feel more then a little lack loser if you ask me. I only use like one exotic. There are no Gallys, or hung jury's, or ice breakers in D2 nothing that even comes close to d1 weapons

1 ReplyThis weapon is practically perfect the way it is. Still.....a little extra time for that poison arrow would be good.
-
Bungie said long ago that they plan by the end of D2 every exotic should be getting a catalyst. So its a matter of time

2 RepliesEdited by Brickinthewall87: 12/1/2019 1:19:28 AMMore hold time would be nice on le monarque, but I feel like the oathkeeper hunter exotic (which pairs beautifully with monarque BTW) already has a better version of this. Maybe just adjust your idea to take to time off the front end of the draw. Something like this: +15 handling 'Royal focus' - precision hits decrease Draw time and increase hold duration for a short time
