Whimper of the Worm
Now that Whisper of the Worm is going to be Whimper of the Worm, can we just make it a decent legendary instead of a crappy exotic?
-
Interestingly, back in D1 they referred to the OG Black Hammer as ‘a legendary with an exotic perk’ and the Black Spindle as ‘an exotic with a legendary perk’.

1 ReplyI can't wait for the next nerf to WOTW. You will have to pay one enhancement core for each perk activation.
-
30 RepliesSo because it doesn't have infinite ammo... It's useless? That doesn't make any sense

Been using darci with the masterwork and it’s beautiful.
-
Better yet, how about you vault it now and start using other weapons instead of that OP crutch?
-
19 RepliesIt's still going to be well worth the exotic slot. The main benefit is the automatic reload and high DPS, not the infinite ammo. That's just something that allows you to cheese certain things.

Exotic special makes more sense to me. It still will do good damage but as a heavy is outclassed.

1 ReplyEdited by GalaxySpider: 5/31/2019 9:58:20 AMWith the catalyst it would be still too powerful for a special unless you nerf the catalyst to the basic version of that perk (first shot only). Also it still is a damn powerful rifle. We have our ammo back, it still is the highest impact sniper, interesting enough for non luna-warlocks who run void or arc and for Hunters as well. People act like as if has been nerfed down damage wise, got its catalyst nerfed as well and is now a legendary low-mid impact sniper. White Nail still has its use and is unique enough for a gun perk. Not to mention it was the main purpose of the perk, as an actual anti-reload infinite mag perk. Getting ammo back always felt like a bonus. But heh, you know what. The gun will be used on Tuesday next week and we aaaaall know that.

7 RepliesIt'll be okay. Just feed your whimpering worm a Male Enhancement Core and it'll be as powerful as it was before the nerf. *Call 911 if Male Enhancement Core buff lasts longer than 20 minutes, be sure to check with your doctor that your light level is high enough before engaging in Raid activities.

It is so sad! This gun was exactly what the Blackhammer was in D1 only that was not an exotic. Then they nerfed it in D1 to the exotic Black Spindle. Then they released the Whisper of the Worm and suddenly they are surprised that it was like the Blackhammer? Why bring it back in the first place like that? The reduction of ammo was a good thing cause now you have to be more accurate. But still they think it is a bad idead and they nerf it to what the Black Spindle was. Which is bad! Why? Because with Warlocks lunafaction boots and the Titan's rally barricade it doesn't make the gun special anymore! What they should do is changing the exotic perk to something more useful to make the gun at least feel exotic again. Like doing 20% more damage every crit you hit or something. So if you hit all shots your 18th shot does 360% damage. Or that every 3rd hit does massive bonus damage with an explosion!

Or make it a special exotic instead of a heavy 😂
-
I wonder if this nerf has lore implications if we can't give it enough tribute won't Xol die for good?
-
3 RepliesI hear they may be changing it's name to The Limp Noodle.
-
5 RepliesWhisper will be fine. It’s ammo capacity is going back to 18 I think and that’s probably enough to kill most bosses if you have good aim.
-
2 RepliesWhisper is useless now, we already have lunafaction boots and rally barricades, what good is reloading from the reserves? If it truly NEEDED a nerf then why not just make it have no reserves like Icebreaker? That way you keep the infinite ammo and it causes you to make your shots count.
-
It should be moved to the special slot 100%.
-
Guess I'm not the only one who calls it like that now lol
-
1 ReplyOr an energy weapon. Might be Ok in that slot.
-
16 RepliesIt should of been like this at launch. Having nearly infinite ammo isn't good for a game. This weapon is still powerful but now you need to be wise on your shots.
-
5 RepliesIt’s still going to be one of the best heavies in the game by a landslide... very few things can survive 18 shots, especially when there’s 6 people using it.
-
1 ReplyComparing WotW and D.A.R.C.I isn’t even appropriate. Two totally different monsters. Mulligan or like the classic White-Nail perk are not strong enough to be exotic. I don’t support D.A.R.C.I in power slot though. Sure it’s exotic worthy but not power slot. This is speaking strictly PvP I should add.
-
Black Spindle I'll give you points for the title though. That's clever.
-
11 RepliesWhisper should have been nerfed a long time ago. I’m sick of people killing the walkers in 5 seconds because they don’t give a shit about making a public heroic heroic.
-
3 RepliesCrappy exotic? That sniper hits like a truck, they just changed the infinite ammo. It still does tons of dmg.
-
Edited by TJ_Dot: 5/31/2019 12:18:59 AMThere will be nothing in the game that infinite ammo will cause problems for if Darci can easily do the same/better to the target. I'd call it a fact if that didn't catch me flak. I don't see how the nerf actually fixes an understandable problem.
