Exotics are just situational specific weapons with a fun perk. Legendaries are for getting work done.

  • Does your legendary do 17k damage to Atheon? Or do you not know because you just push him off the edge? Don't make blanket generalizations about weapon classes. Some exotics are stronger than their legendary counterparts.

  • I didn't say they weren't, I said "situationally specific" which means when doing what they're meant to they are the best at it. There are some, Suros, which are great overall of course. Wasn't aware you'd get offended over a weapon generalization, I was unaware you were so emotionally linked to these guns. My apologies Nancy.

  • There was no BS. You just failed at understanding English words and decided to get mad about it. He said "Exotics are just situational specific weapons" and you proceeded to name an extremely specific event (fighting Atheon) to prove him wrong. You enforced the point he originally made......

  • Except they're not. If you can use Ice Breaker to do a ton of damage to Atheon, you can also use it to kill minotaurs, knights, wizards, etc. I didn't fail to understand English, you failed to use inference.

  • I agree, people will continue to uproar about an exotic sold by Xur till there are none left. He can sell Hard Light and MIDA next week for all I care. It's a shame, most players I see in game use the same exotics with very few using unique legendaries. I imagine a lot of people have a balanced & unique legendary in their vault being neglected because of the stigma attached to exotics :(. Let's see some of those unique legendaries.

    Ok here's my question, did you buy your legendary or get it from a drop or reward from the cryptarch or end of strike* /pvp/raid? Because congrats on getting anything from a drop or reward because that system is shit. I'm almost level 26 and I've had to buy everything except my monte carlo auto rifle which I received from iron banner. It's not that great but hey whatever. Otherwise I've had to buy everything else. No big deal but honestly if* they are rewards you probably won't see many around. I have light/beware but I don't care for it.

  • MIDA - Engram (pre-patch) Hard Light - Crucible Hard Light - Nightfall Legendary - Engram Being able to buy exotics is good, they should be accessible. I want to see more unique combination legendaries.

  • I can't get anything from engrams. Every cryptarch upgrade gives me motes of light every single time. It's a crap shoot. The weapon stocks just don't seem to have very good modifiers or not to my playing style. Everything gives ammo to shotguns and fusion rifles, two things I don't care to use. I wish they had a re-roll system where you could use like 5-10 coins (not sure on an appropriate value) to gamble on randomly changing modifiers to all equipment. The gunsmith is not utilized at all and he could do it for weapons and your vanguard rep could do it for armor. The amount of coins needed is increased on rarity of course. Then just possibly taking it one step further, the more people that do this the richer the vendor gets and supplies better equipment for purchase. Maybe it's just locked to how much you spend. Maybe they offer crazy bounties for weapon crafting. Path of exile and Diablo did these things really well but destiny does not utilize their vendors very well in my opinion. Maybe it's not the vision they intended but their vendors and factions serve no purpose. Hopefully they get it right in destiny 2.

    My personal fave is my Shadow Price with Glass is half full, armor piercing rounds and Third Eye. Just got 2 new scouts I'm debating on as well. For my special I'm really split between my void invisible hand m7 with full auto, field scout and shot package and my new Solar Final Boss Heavy I'm split between my Void Swarm from Vanguard and my Solar Unfriendly Giant with Tracking, flared magwell and third eye. Exotic wise it's Suros/vex, icebreaker/invective (still leveling pocket infinity, then no exotic heavy yet
