They made the Necro weak on purpose so that they could avoid having another vex mytho scenario. Where players who don't have the gun complain about its power. Make the gun underpowered to begin with and you solve that problem.
"Vex Mythoclast was so freakin strong it had to be nerfed immediately after it saw daylight, so let's make Necrochasm really REALLY bad"
Bungie's take at balancing
I have both. Although I like both weapons, the Vex is clearly the better weapon. The Necrochasm is in serious need of a buff. There are legendary raid weapons that out perform it in every way.
Can't believe this is even a poll...necrochasm is garbage and will continue to be until it finally gets a buff. Even with the nerf/buff to vex it still pisses all over the necrochasm
I love my vex and necrochasm
Only thing is I wish the necro had a higher mag cap.
Actually used it in Iron Banner, wasn't horrible, but also not for going positive lol
