From the first time I saw this weapon I had hoped it would give whisper of the worm some competition. well I got to play with the weapon for about 48 hours and I'm disappointed the weapon isn't the contender that I had hoped for PVE. Don't get me wrong I love the feel of the weapon It's a pretty all round reliable sniper. But the burst damage is lack luster. Whisper is good because of it's constant DPS output without running out of ammo. It also has really good damage per shot. When you come to a weapon such as Izanagi's burden you are to expect roughly the same or even better burst damage, The weapon just eats too much ammo for the kinds of numbers I see. It's not a good trade off, less damage with less ammo than whisper doesn't make any sense. As I said before I love how this weapon feels i'm just sad to see that this is not the performance I wanted to see out of this to me it's not worth the exotic slot for PVE.
