•The Prospector - Great DPS, abysmal full reserve damage
•Wardcliff Coil - Terrible DPS, rerrible full reserve damage (why do you people at Bungie have a hate b*ner for Wardcliff when it's actually fun to use?)
•Acrius - Actually a gem great for everything within it's range, but my fellow guardians are too cowardly to run shotty strats
•D.A.R.C.I. / Queensbreaker - Why are these even still a heavy? They've both been a paperweight since Forsaken dropped. Another terrible at everything arc heavy
•Worldline Zero - This thing was only good for skating before that aspect got nerfed, this weapon hasn't had a single damage related utility since it landed in the game. I almost forgot to include it because it's been useless for so long.
•Thunderlord / Grand Overture - they're both an MG, and we know ol' Bungie doesn't like those for damage except Zeno, which is mid now.
•Anarchy - Full reserve damage is so high it could kill every boss in the game 5 times over, but the DPS is so d*mn terrible we'd get wiped before any of it gets dished out.
With Acrius and Prospector as exemptions I don't know why these exotics even exist when they aren't useful for anything outside of add clear. Why are so many of these weapons just garbage?

Prospector you’re correct that it’s insane burst damage and used to be a valid choice with Riven. (Maybe still is?) Thunderlords have been cooking Nezerac, a great ramping damage MG with free lightning tick, moderate sustain, and a middling ammo reserve. Grand overture pisses burst damage and has decent sustain if you set it up correctly. Albeit a bit awkward to use on small/fast moving bosses but you don’t have to crit hunt which is always nice. Not everything is made for DPS or particularly well balanced right now either, I’ll agree there. wardcliff is crowd clear. Worldline is as you said, zoom ability, but there aren’t many exotic swords other than lament that I’d say are worth a damn anyways. QB actually has native unstop now tied to its blind ability, and wasn’t hit with the other LFR nerfs. Do with that what you will. Anarchy is still good area denial and linger, although I’d say witherhoard replaced it for that job. DARCI… I honestly haven’t used it recently enough to have an opinion on its state. But agree that it shouldn’t be a heavy.

2 RespuestasGrand Overture is an absolute beast. Shame Bungo has disabled it for every Raid and Dungeon drop since it's release....

1 RespuestaEditado por The Hermit IX: 3/14/2023 7:14:06 PMGrand Overture is super powerful heavy and Thunderlord is the go to in the new Raid by many and completely slept on. The timing of your post is awful seeing people are one phasing with the Thunder Lord.

Grand Overture is one of the highest DPS weapons in the game wym
-
Thunderlord is currently capable of one phasing Nezarec which rockets barely do so I'd say it's strong. Grand Overture is also pretty powerful sitting near the top (Not at just near) at damage for exotics and it has good ad clearing.

16 RespuestasMy man forgot the new arc MG that fires missiles which carried me through 2 solo dungeons...including spire. And thunderlord is one of the best strats in the new raid.
