This season’s exotics r severely disappointing

Leviathans breath is Garbo, outclassed entirely by sleeper, which is also horrible, making leviathans breath worse than sleeper. Doesn’t do nearly enough dmg to account for its atrocious draw time Xenophage is pure trash, an absolute waste of an exotic, trash n pvp it’s 3 shots is only a kill and a half. It’s pve dps is horrible and it’s bad for ad and major clear because u run out of ammo n like 5 seconds Erianas vow is fine, and fairly good n pvp, but it’s incredibly niche, and underwhelming n pve, is does something like 20%-40% less than 90rpm snipers, so y would I use an exotic slot on this, when I can just use my god rolled legendary sole survivor, or izanagis with anti-barrier round recluse Divinity is the only exotic from this season that is actually pretty good and fun to use, except that now it’s being nerfed and won’t stack with other debuffs which will severely lower its viability. Oh and not to mention it doesn’t work on half the raid bosses including the sanctified mind, the very raid u get it from. This issue still has not been addressed by Bungie Deathbringer is just meh, neat idea but not enough dmg for a heavy when there r clearly better options for the exotic slot, I can never see this being used for anything other than screwing around, definitely not for challenging content Besides divinity, which is getting nerfed, Monte Carlo is the only good exotic from this season, that’s actually pretty fun and useful n melee oriented builds. So the only actual good exotic from this season is a gun returning from D1 that we’ve all used before, so literally none of the actual new exotics r even viable except for a pre-nerf divinity. It seems to me like Bungie is scared to give us powerful exotics. a tremendously disappointing season for exotic weapons and they will all be finding a home n vault, collecting dust, until Bungie balances them. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

  • Specifically, I want to see: Eriana's Vow: More PvE base crit damage when Death At First Glance is proc'd. It's an exotic. It should compete with other exotic specials in this regard. Not like Izanagi's 4x level damage, but at least competitively matched with regular 90rpm sniper equivalent damage with a nice bonus on top of that. I don't think that would be that busted. Divinity: Fix the bugs with some bosses not proccing. I don't care for Raid-locked exotic quests, but that's probably not in the cards to shake for this one, so meh. It's debuff should stack with others but at diminishing returns. On it's own, the debuff should be much higher. +~40%. Deathbringer: Fix the bugs. Half the time the rocket just disappears. Half the time no void orbs come out. Increase the base damage significantly. This thing sucks horribly for DPS and isn't even that good for add clear. Honestly could benefit from a major rework ala Graviton Lance treatment... Xenophage: Fix the bugs. It seems like it's just only firing the explosive round part of the damage, and likely crits like every other explosive round weapon. It's probably really good when it's not broken. Increase the magazine and ammo carry a bit. It doesn't feel exotic. That insect should be doing something more interesting. Leviathan's Breath: Increase base damage and crit damage significantly. Increase blast radius/knockback effect slightly. Reduce draw time (OK if via MW catalyst). It doesn't feel very exotic.

    • Everyone says LB is garbage. The bow is AMAZING against unstoppable ogres in the 980 nf. That's the only time it shines, against unstoppable enemies, but yeah. It's also usable in Vex Offensive to take out minotaur shields because it has an AOE. It's not garbage. Just cant use it for everything. Which is totally fine.

      • I wouldn’t call leviathan’s breath garbage, since judging it based purely on its ability to dps is unfair, since not every weapon is made to do a ton of dps. Honestly just give it a little damage increase and more ammo reserves (at least 15) and it would probably end up being a pretty good exotic. Everything else except monte carlo, and divinity after the nerf, is pretty much meh. Where I can see myself taking leviathan’s breath out and using it for certain activities or situations, I can’t see myself doing th same with any of exotics from this season. It’s a shame too, because they are all pretty fun and kinda unique, bungie is just too scared for players to feel powerful that they won’t allow this fun and unique weapons to shine. I mean, wouldn’t you want to dps a boss by raining death over them with deathbringer? Seeing all those orbs falling from the sky and then seeing a health bar melt away? I don’t speak for everyone but I know I certainly would.

      • It's the slow decline of our power. If you look at it Armor 2.0 is a decline in power as well. The next batch of nerfs will be pinnacle weapons and Izunagi.

                • What I found really funny is they stopped pinnacle gear and nerfed damage perks because the were out shining exotics and they wanted people to use them. So after all that they give use shit exotics and mods that can’t be used in them that are needed to hard content.

                  • Agreed. Literally most exotics besides Monte and Maybe Eriannas are complete ass.

                  • Clearly D1 exotics were the best designed exotics in destiny’s history. Might as well just bring all D1 exotics back with a new buff added to them like monte carlo,bad juju etc. I would love to see red death, I would love to see vex mythoclast with a new perk that allows players to switch its element or something, zen meteor was amazing too. The new exotics are definitely unique in their own ways but they just plain suck, I hope those exotics get buffed at least. If the goal of the new exotics are designed to be underpowered to then later be buffed,I think everyone would appreciate it if we all knew that was the plan.

                  • I do agree the bow could have a tad shorter draw time, but I am enjoying using it. The splash damage is great for lolz and it staggering the big boyz is pretty great. Don't have xenophage yet, but will probably go for it tonight after trick-or-treating with my fam. Also, I wish I could get monte carlo to drop. Ree.

                  • I love my Deathbringer. Once you get a grip on how high to fire and when to release the trigger it's a weapon of mass destruction on mobs. Or Guardians during an Gambit invasion.

                    Tip: Going forward, don't start grinding for a weapon until it's been reviewed. Saves a lot of time, frustration and disappointment.

                  • Still think we're operating with unrealistic standards. Not every Power weapon is supposed to be a DPS machine. Not every Primary weapon is supposed to surpass Recluse, which itself was a mistake. Sure, I think Leviathan's Breath and Xenophage need damage increases, they shouldn't be huge.

                    • Its PvE DPS is very good. It can 1 phase riven. And you are basing it on the guns without their catalyst.

                      • Divinity works just fine on Sanctified Mind. If your DPS is down, you werent hitting the crit spot.

                      • Eriana's vow may be the best pve exotic in the game, with the catalyst. Paired with a kinetic sniper (with auto loading holster) and your favorite heavy (with auto loading holster) you are a dps machine. EV can be a sniper when aiming or a shotgun when firing from the hip. It was really good in the dungeon too.
