I played D1 when I was younger, but I never when that deep into it. I liked the game, but my knowledge of gaming in general wasn’t that good, so I never “studied” the intricacies of this game and I only did vanguard, crucible and some small missions. I wasn’t even close to getting half of the exotic weapons. As I grow up and started playing D2, I went more deep into the game (D2) and I even saw old videos to see how were the exotics in D1. I saw the first curse hand cannon and I liked the idea of it being the inverse of the last word.
I would like this weapon to be reintroduced to D2, and but I think it should get a rework to make it more interesting, here is my idea :
-[u]at its core, it should kinetic agresive frame hand cannon with great range and average stability, but poor handling and reload speed[/u]
- [u]Intrinsic perk: First curse: first kill refills the magazine and greatly increase damage, increases target acquisition and also decreases rate of fire for that magazine. Lost in reload [/u]. Essentially it would be an extreme case of the perk Adagio, to the point that it would only take two shots to kill ( 1 head 1 body ?)in pvp but it would have the fire rate adjusted so the TTK is the same as other legendary agresive frame hand cannon. In pve it would be system to give you a net damage increase and perhaps give you extra body damage.
- [u]Exotic perk: Getting old: after crouching while immobile for a short duration greatly increases handling and reload speed until you stop crouching or start moving[/u]. Like a one second wait and this would be more for pve to facilitate ad clear and dps.
What do you think?
