Why don't people use the First Curse in PvP more often?
I remember in Year One, The Salt from the Tears of the Many laid to waste by the power of the Last Word, was superfluous enough to fill the biggest crater on the Moon. And now, it seems that Karma has returned in the form of it's sister, The First Curse. Really. This thing shreds hard.
Everyone's using the Clever Dragon now, which is cool. But, if you are proficient with Hand Cannons and are quick on the fly, give that thing a try. I have used it for the last number of Banner Matches. And it gave me the chills that The Last Word used to.
Note: I'm surprised that this many comments have appeared. Some are thought driven. Others sound like salt or some sort of bad rhetoric about the opponents or whatnot.(noticeably made by those with a shotgun as their primary)

1 ReplyBecause of how potent its main weakness is. It's fire rate. Trust me, I'm in love with the gun myself. But it's just simple fact that someone with perfect aim using an Eyasluna, Finnala's peril, Palindrome, Devil You Know, Lord High Fixer, Byronic Hero, etc. etc. is always going to win the fight versus someone who has perfect aim using a First Curse.

Edited by Angelus Reprobi: 11/10/2016 6:05:33 PMBecause ill will is a two shot with two head shots, first curse is 3 with one head shot, it's not terrible. When the perk is activated it's good but without it you'll be struggling to get a kill.

Slow ttk imo...in a frantic Iron banner, there is no way i can endure that...
-
I think either the rate of fire needs to be increased or the accuracy of the follow up shot sends to be increased.
-
Because I can't get one. And if I ever got one, I wouldn't have many compelling reasons to return to PvP.
-
It's because there are better weapons then the first curse.its good but HC like palindrome and eysaluna just kill faster, And they're legendary frees up an exotic slot.
-
Because by the time you usually get the second shot off your already dead
-
The slow fire rate makes it too unforgiving. Too many other weapons have a faster TTK. Love it though for PvE. Awesome weapon.
-
idk and i want it to be used

First curse is year 2

I havent infused anything into it yet d:

I prefer the lingering song due to it not being exotic. Same archetype and I got a good roll on mine.

It's the only primary I actually go positive with XD

Once you get the curse going, it is a decent gun, but until then the time to kill on crits is 1.00 seconds, which is abysmally slow. Okay hand canons normally have 0.87 t2k, and good hand canons have a 0.80 t2k. And the Last Word rules them all with a 0.53 t2k. If you consistently get crits, The First Curse will put a smile on your face. If you don't, you will want a different gun.
-
slow time to kill, is awful for ghost bullets( which is incredibly punishing considering its low rate of fire) unless you have the perk active, and you can get better range stat and side perks on legendaries.
-
Because I fire 3 shots of an eyasluna before you even get your second shot off
-
I like The First Curse for PVE better than PVP. It fires way to slow for me to be good in PVE. If you run into more than one person at the same time, you pretty much already have the fight lost because they will out shoot you.

[quote]This thing shreds hard[/quote] Well it does and it doesn't. It hits very hard but will leave all guardians alive after two shots requiring a third shot to finish the job. The problem is that if you have to fire a third shot anyways, why not use Eyasluna or The Palindrome? This is the same reason we don't see people running around with the Spare Change pulse. Assuming optimal shooting and equal skill from two combatants The First Curse will almost always lose.

Because its not a meta weapon

1 Replyi like the gun and actually won a few rumble matches with it but to be perfectly honest: the gun does absolutly nothing that deserves an exotic slot. if the perk that reloads your magazine upon a kill would always activate, or have a 75% chance of activating it would be a lot better, but still not as good as any of the fast shooting ones, they are more pvp competitive. in the end just equip any other handcannon, they all can 3 shot, most even faster. saves an exotic slot. the first curse simply is to slow for pvp, dont get me wrong, thats how it should be since you can 2 shot low armor builds but if you miss 1 shot, youre dead. (unless your enemy is a potato). its not bad, but it doesnt do anything special a legendary cant do. i enjoyed it in pve though. i wish only the exotics that do something very special / a ton of dmg would be exotics. the others should be mythics or something. so you could still equip them with other mythics / exotics. that would make a lot of "exotics" actually useable, even the young wolfs howl. (still needs to consume only 5 ammo for the attack).

probably cus it's not meta, as a matter of fact its never been meta i guess thats why i enjoy playing with it and did so many vids on it. it does feel like it can be inconsistant but when you can land shots it strikes fear in the heart of guardians hehehe...
