Let's talk the truth, guns like fate bringer, black hammer, found verdict ,VOC and a few others are what I would call exceptional legendary weapons. The gallahorn, icebreaker, thorn, last word, hawk moon and red death are what I would really call true exotics. They are overpowering beyond belief(which is how exotics should feel). The fact that bungie wants to nerf certain exotics and prevent us from ascending our old legendary weapons shows their lack of creativity. If they were really that creative they would not need to nerf or prevent legendary weapons from being further ascended. They would have rather created more weapons which can compete with these other guns rather than making them obsolete like the Vex mythoclast and Suros regime.
