Hey Bungie,
Just writing to give some honest and no childish feedback about this weapon. To obtain this weapon the quest and challenges were really intresting and the password system was great. You can tell a story of how you get this weapon. However the weapon as being of the biggest mysteries in Destiny, well underperforms.
Looks:
The gun looks amazing.
The design is really slick and unique.
The charging animation and sighs are really good.
Performance:
Low clip size really hurts this weapons usability.
Damage is good but inconsistent. ( Outclassed by a sniper rifle - full clip )
Many rooms have irregular edges which make the beam bounced in useless ways.
Beam impact detection is inconsistent (probably the impact area is really small ).
Only usable for large targets, not really usable for clearing mobs - this might need to be changed to make the weapon more usable.
Ill be updating soon this post for my suggestions:
Suggestions:
Increase magazine size to at least 4 rounds.
Make the beam wider and "explosive".
Why not make the beam to "explode" into smaller beams after initial impact penetrating the target. kind of making it a expansive shot after inital impact
Why not dealing lasting damage "burning" to the inital target hit, to ensure maxium over time damage.
Triple tap instead of bounce, will encourage pin point accuracy

Personally I like the weapon. Good design and unique properties. Along with Black Spindle, he only y2 exotic I use.

1 ReplyAllowing it to damage the same enemy more than once would be nice

I have the sleeper stimulant and totally agree with this, great ideas.

Seems to hurt some bosses more than others.

3 RepliesYou're out of your mind, that thing annihilates bosses. Give me 7 rounds of sleeper over the spindle any day

All snipers outclass all heavys in terms of raw DPS, it's always been that way and always will be that way.

It's got more rounds than a rocket launcher and more damage. With armor perks I can get 9 rounds. I love the gun!

2 RepliesThe shot should also be able to penetrate things like a Cabal shield tbh.

1 ReplyFull auto a la Pocket Infinity would be cool...

Are you high? The thing freaking destroys everything.

I love the gun. Team was worried we couldn't flinch oryx. Boom. Flinched
-
3 RepliesAs long as you don't mind the charge time, it is amazing in PvP. Currently is the only weapon that can one-hit kill anything in PvP
-
5 RepliesThe final perk should be shoot 5 beams instead one. The ricochet is just stupid and pointless.
-
2 RepliesI think a slightly reduced charge time option for half damage would be a good addition to the ballistic choices
-
I brought it out in the Flayers strike a while back to see what how it performs. It melted through those cyclops. I've never seen anything like it

I do enjoy the weapon as is, though I've always been an advocate for fusion rifles. All of your suggestions would definitely make the weapon more sought after, though as it is now, it does what it's supposed to: melt bosses. I love getting the valus strike now. He absolutely bends to the power of the sleeper. You're absolutely right about one thing though. More reserve ammo/larger mag would make this weapon perfect.
