... And I'm not necessarily talking Nerfs. Not here anyways. Though PERSONALLY I feel there are a couple of no brainer, top tier armor pieces, that's not what I'm focusing on here.
I'm focusing on the underpowered stuff. If I missed anything, post it please.
Hunter- Gunslinger
Circle of Life- Killing an enemy with a throwing knife while golden gun is active extends its duration:
Proposed Changes: 1. Golden Gun lasts longer (125% duration) Or 2. Kills with Golden Gun recharge your melee
Any better ideas?
Titan- Striker
Storm Fist- a T-Rex arm that deals 10% bonus damage. Pigeonholes Strikers into using Shoulder Charge for any real CQC viability.
Proposed Changes: 1. Storm Fist deals more bonus damage- as in, about 200. Keep in mind the miserable range and the fact that Titans are supposed to hit stuff. And/Or 2. Precision hits with Storm Fist disorient your foe. (Majors and Guardian/ Captain-level are disoriented for two seconds, Dreg-level disoriented for 5 seconds).
Titan- Defender
Disintegrate-another T-Rex arm melee that is inferior to Flame Shield.
Proposed Changes: 1. All hits with Disintegrate generate the Overshield.
Ward of Dawn- Forms a bubble of Void Loght to protect you and your allies.
Proposed Changes: 1. Is able to withstand exactly 3 Golden Gun shots.
ARMOR
Hunter
ATS-8 Arachnid: Golden Gun zooms in for accuracy when aimed.
Proposed Changes: Embodies an actual spider- not only does this retain its former perk, but this perk receives a buff in the form of Thermal Vision, [b]when zoomed in[/b] with Golden Gun. It has a radius that extends from GG's sights, and doesn't quite cover the whole screen. All shots stagger foes (except for with Angry Modifier). For the highlighting, think of what you see on the death cam- how the foe who killed you is highlighted in red. Allies would be green:. While this helmet will help you see your foes, you'll definitely want to remember that you still can't shoot through walls, and you certainly aren't invincible! Useful against corner campers. Still is hard to see highlighted targets at extreme ranges.
Titan
MK44 Stand Asides
Shoulder Charge stays active for twice as long as without this exotic.
Side Note: Not as important as the above propositions, but Knucklehead Radar could give radar for all weapons rather than just the primary. What are your thoughts on this?
What did I miss, and what are your suggestions? Constructive criticism welcome of course.
