Knucklehead Radar and other unused exotics need a buff, or something to make them a viable option.
There are plenty of exotic armors and weapons, that no one is focusing on, that could really use a buff. It'd be great to see a lot of these exotics get used.
Stuff like the...
Knucklehead Radar (Especially with the new artifact)
Ats/8 Arachnid
Khepri's Sting (Rarely get to use backstab, even in PvE. Invisibility doesn't last long enough and the radius is too small)
Radiant Dance Machines
Quick-Res Exotics
Don't Touch Me's
Lucky Raspberry (And arc-bolts)
Skyburners Annex
Mask of the Third Man (debatable)
Immolation Fists
Empyrean Bellicose
Helm of Inmost Light (debatable)
The Glasshouse
Taikonaut
Mk.44 Standasides
Astrocyte Verse
Obsidian Mind (debatable)
Skull of Dire Ahmkara
The Eternal Warrior
THE STAG
Transversive Steps
Heart of the Praxic Fire
Purifier Robes
Alchemist's Raiment
Apotheosis veil.
(For armor)
Hard Light
SUROS Regime
Bad Juju (debatable)
Red Death (debatable)
No Time to Explain
Lord of Wolves
The 4th Horseman
Dreg's Promise
Trespasser (debatable)
Hereafter
Super Good Advice
Thunderlord
Dragon's Breath
Bolt Caster (PvE)
Boolean Gemini
Touch of Malice
Young Wolf's Howl
Patience and Time (Holy scope zoom Batman)
and The Chaperone
(For weapons, obviously)
There is almost no reason to use any of these over other exotics, other than very specific situations. (Or at all) They rarely get much use from the masses. (From what I see at least)
Bungie please do something about this. It's a problem when 80% of the things in the game are obsolete.
Don't even get me started on class balancing...
Comment anything I missed or ideas for buffs down below!

1 ReplyLet me give you a tip. Don't use exotics, there not game changing items, nor do they feel like anything special anyways. If you want exotics to mean something and be special, powerful. Then there 2 things that need to happen. Xur must be removed from the game and all exotics reworked into something better. Like mida, bring back high caliber rounds, garrison, bring back double evade, thorn, increase range, gally, return to normal and the list goes on. But these things will never happen, so stop dwelling on it and use legendaries! There way better

2 RepliesDon't necessarily agree with your lists, but I like your sentiment.

1 ReplyCame expecting some obvious complaining [spoiler]left intrigued and somewhat happy[/spoiler]

4 RepliesI don't know if it's just me, but I already feel overpowered using Trespasser and Chaperone. Another thing to keep in mind is half those exotic armors are PvE Exotics, so they aren't intended to be great for PvP

Edited by Unbrandedpie: 10/6/2016 12:56:08 PMSkull of ahamkara is fine. Spec the class to where grenade and super kills give energy drain and that helmet is godlike. A grenade kill, super kill, or melee pretty much guarantees another grenade. Maybe change knuclehead to give keen scout and keep radar out for ALL guns not just primaries.

2 RepliesDon't Touch Me's are very good why do they need a buff?
-
1 ReplyLet us not forget about Alchemist's Raiment! Also, I feel the Transversive Steps are pretty nice. Rather use them than any other exotic unless it's void burn with grenadier. Haven't gotten Ophidian Aspect yet, so I'm not sure if they're better for me or not.

4 RepliesBump Knucklehead radar needs a big buff being that a -blam!-ing legendary gives the same perk as it but better
-
Knucklehead Radar should give their eye on special and primary and give enhanced radar.
-
1 ReplyThey nerfed everything into the ground so the Game is balanced. Now is the Time to buff and choose between op weapons and armor. For example add HCR and firefly to MIDA that it is the worst of all exotics . Or add Radar for all 3 weapon types and keenscout to knocklehead Radar that it is the worst exotic peice. Buff everythig that Much that thease two still would be unused.
-
This is what I think the buffs or reworks should be on said exotics. Note that I didn't add some exotics because either 1) I don't know a lot of information on the exotic and 2) I don't think they need a buff/rework. Knucklehead Radar: Knucklehead Radar works for ALL weapons not just primary Radiant Dance Machines: All Evasive abilities are faster and can reach farther distances Quick-Res Exotics: Faster at reviving allies not as fast as vanilla though Heart of Praxic Fire: When Radiance is activated: Damage increased: 1.2x Applies Solar Damage: if specials are void or arc, it will stack with solar (Note the Solar damage isn't as strong as solar damage on secondaries and heavies) Purifier Robes: Blind lasts 1 second longer Radiance activation is also faster Hard Light: 2 options: 1) Arc Damage 2) Lower damage, but blinds the target upon hit, ricochets off target, if the ricocheted bullet were to hit a target, the blind would either not happen or doesn't blind. 4th Horseman: More Ammo (Includes capacity and reserve) Hereafter: Hereafter now marks enemies when they're being aimed at, lasts for 30 seconds unless death. Can mark 3 enemies till reset, if enemies are hit by blind AoE then they are marked (Stack is unlimited) Thunderlord: Decrease in impact Increase in stability Exotic perk is much more affective Dragons Breath: Decrease in flare damage If flare makes impact, the flare sticks to the enemy Boltcaster: 2 options: 1) More R2 (RT???? Dunno don't play Xbox) damage 2) decrease in R2 range but a much wider spread that can hit and go through enemies Patience and Time Invis lasts until out of zoom, move while in zoom and invis goes out. Invis is harder to see and red flare is gone (this invis should happen with every other invis as well)

3 RepliesI would use a lot more warlock stuff if it all didn't look so stupid.

1 ReplyThings on this list get used pretty often but there are very very few exotics that are used constantly. I think all exotics need a huge buff most of them basically feel like legendaries right now.
-
4 RepliesKnucklehead Radar was my very first exotic and I love the cosmetics, but the Bones are just too useful to wear anything else. I'd love to have a legendary version of the Knucklehead though, as I still think it looks really cool. Or maybe if they had it grant "Keen Scout" (regardless of subclass) it might get some love.
-
1 ReplyI use the Mooseknuckle radar on my hunter any time I'm not using a primary with 3rd eye. First Curse, Oversoul Edict, Suros Regime, etc.

4 RepliesIsn't this, like every exotic?

Bump.

3 RepliesWhy is Dark Drinker even on this list?

1 ReplyU coulda just wrote... [spoiler]all the exotics[/spoiler]

Nice interesting post .. u actually right. Thankfully we can only arm ourselves with one exotic. And wear one exotic at a time. But i guess it like an exotic car .. it seats in your garage for months in the winter then comes out once an a while on a summer drive. Then back into the garage. On well thanks for my trusty pick-up truck to get the daily job done 😀😀

Just delete that crap. You do not have time to play all possible combinations of weapons and gear crap to find one that makes you feel better.
-
Yes!!
-
Yeah, I definently believe a lot of these things could use buffs. But I believe some of them just just need re-works. Super good advice for example. It doesn't matter how much you buff that thing, because as long as it's exotic perk stays the same, it's never going to get any better. But very solid list. However, if they are to buff some of the primaries, they shouldn't buff them TOO far. Some just aren't used not because they're bad, but because some others are just god-like compared to them.

3 RepliesI feel like Transversive Steps are pretty good
-
5 RepliesGlass house for example is great in the bullet sponge boss parts of the raid, so it's got its place, just not a lot of players ever consider it..... I'd really like to know where something like apotheosis veil shines....

3 RepliesTrespasser is a really good exotic sidearm. Way way better than dregs promise.
