Revert the whisper base precision damage nerf.
That nerf was justified back when the gun created ammo from thin air, but that's no longer the case. It deals less damage than a single slug round even with the catalyst while being a HEAVY AND AN EXOTIC weapon, add in the massive flinch snipers get when getting shot on top of that and the fact that if you miss one shot you're screwed makes it a high risk low reward weapon.
If you want the community to use other exotics, then why not make them viable first?

1 ReplyWith how difficult it is to ger rapid crits on most targets in the game now, I honestly feel like reverting the entire ammo nerf on it wouldn't be a problem. Snipers flinch so hard and huge targets with tiny crits move around so much that it's really not an easy task anymore. Not to mention we have things like xeno that can do just as good with no risk/reward because it doesn't need crits. You miss a single crit with whisper, and you're behind on damage and won't catch up. You just just aim anywhere at the the target for xeno and your pumping out the same, if not better damage than an optimal whisper.

I think it needs a modest damage buff AND return ammo for it to be useable again

1 ReplyRevert ALL its nerfs. And the hunter tether boots and the warlock nova bomb helmet too.

1 ReplyAlso, whispered breathing should be instant as soon as you aim, not 5 seconds later.

Make the gun a special weapon like d1

7 RepliesHonestly pve is unbalanced due to snipers doing too much damage. They should be on par with something of the likes of scouts when it comes to damage. They already have the advantage of range. No sense to buff something already so gamebreaking

Wow… haven’t seen one of these in a long time 😂

14 RepliesEncounters matter too… Whisper is still best DPS for Harpy boss in GoS and would still be top DPS for Scourge boss if it wasn’t vaulted…

I think Whisper and Darci, both heavy snipers just need to get moved to special ammo weapons.

2 RepliesEdited by Double07: 7/6/2021 4:39:41 PMYeah Bungie, where’s the other exotics now that you nerfed anarchy? Whisper is still a “get kicked out of a fireteam” card for Templar. I can prove that much.

Edited by Griever: 7/6/2021 8:33:28 AMThey'd rather keep nerfing weapons to give others a "fair chance". Edit: Let's not forget that you don't even have to get hit by explosions to have your aim thrown off either by screen shake or (at least it looks like it) flinching. Doesn't help when enemies like Hob/ Goblins, Minotaurs, Wyverns, and bosses like Atheon have crit boxes smaller than the model of said location, essentially making crits even harder than that.

2 RepliesI'm not a big fan of how, in general, this game is so massively weighted towards landing crit shot after crit shot after crit shot. "Blah blah blah git gud scrub blah blah blah." We aren't all MLG wannabe tryhards.

1 ReplyI would say give it way more ammo reserves. I mean ridiculously more ammo. Like it can carry 60 rounds or something
-
3 RepliesAt this point I feel like bungie could give it the infinite ammo back, there isn’t a single encounter in the game anymore where it would be the best option even with infinite ammo (except maybe Atheon but even then there are better options)
-
2 RepliesI think changing how Box Breathing works would be more beneficial or back to how it used to perform.

Edited by Olórin: 7/6/2021 8:50:01 AMReplace it's Catalyst perk Whispered breathing to Vorpal Weapon + No Distraction.

Totally agree with you OP

1 Replynah just buff the damage with the catalyst perk

19 RepliesDo... you not have the catalyst?
