Edit: The confirmation of Rally Barricade and Lunafaction Boots only granting an "Outlaw speed reload" buffs Whisper considerably, but I still think most power weapons, GLs included will out perform it, especially in shorter burst windows.

This baby boy get nerfed so bad.
Now I'm not saying infinite ammo was a good idea. It wasn't. And whispered breathing was a little strong.
But this is just...silly.
Out of ALL of the Power weapons, Whisper is easily the hardest to take advantage of.
GLs basically have no recoil, rockets are easy to aim with.
Linear fusions take some aim, but usually have intense auto aim.
Whisper demands precision, so reward it. Have each crit you land scale up the damage with each hit.
The issue right now is that you look at base damage values rather than the damage you can actually get off in a DPS phase.
Rockets are easy for very short bursts of DPS.
GLs are perfect for most DPS phases where you're only gonna get 7s of actual uptime,since you basically unload a full mag quickly.
But in situations where you can DPS longer, in phases up to 10-15s, or with skill find ways to DPS for longer, that's where you need to have Whisper carve it's spot as a power weapon, as sustained DPS.
Just crushing it to the ground however makes no sense.

the infinity ammo of whisper was never a problem outside a Raid. I never used all 20 ammo in an activity (except raid). I think no one did unless you used it for literally everything, but for boss damage and such things it never used up all the ammo. you could go in an activity with 20 ammo and still would have some left. the white nail perk: "granting powerammo" was more like to make up for the missed shots. Some nerf in PvE are kind of obvious, that it is happening because of Raids.

With the speculation that Well and Wall no longer auto reload weapons come SK, Whisper might once again shine. I would rather seem them leave it alone and see what the meta is like next season first. No one wants to go back to just using Whisper for everything again.

작성자: Dovahborg 9/4/2019 1:50:27 PMJust like most things in this game, they should have never brought it back/made it if they were just going to nerf it to the ground. Bungie has a tendency to never think ahead. Regardles how many times they say they are "Thinking ahead for this game"

11 답변How many times does it scale up? Also realize this - why would anyone use any other sniper now? We set a new precedent on how snipers are. What tops this now?

7 답변They’re nerfing Lunafaction and Rally Barricade, no more auto loading so I feel whisper is going to become popular again.

3 답변Nah, it is already top tier and will be even more so in Shadowkeep. Its fine where it is, having great (but not the best) burst DPS but some of the highest total damage and sustained dps in the game.

Even with taking infinite ammo out of the equation (for now, rip auto reload) whisper is a strong exotic, it’s raw damage makes it an absolute beast. It may not be the [i]best[/i] option but it’s damn good. It’s still viable.

3 답변The thing is though is that it doesn't exactly suck for damage. Them taking away the weapons most useful perk is indeed crippling and I think they should work on reinstating it in a weaker form. Like every 3 shots returns 1 round to reserves, that way you get an additional 7 shots for free. This would increase it's damage potential and allow it to sustain fire longer similar to how it used to.
