Red Death and the Messenger

Mk so I've noticed that the messenger is not only as good as, but better than Red Death and this should not be. For the main reason, RED DEATH IS AN EXOTIC! Sorry for yelling but come on. Why is a legendary beating out an EXOTIC in the stats that matter most? Yeah, when we get a kill with red death our health is restored, but hey, we need to get that freaking kill. And if I'm going against a gun with better fire rate, better stability, and I think better range, am I going to get that kill? Probably not. Unless the other guy has terrible aim. Can we two shot with the red death? Because I've never seen it. But guess what I hear all the time in reference to the messenger, 'oh it's so great because I can 2 shot people all the time'. Exotics are supposed to be the top tier in their weapon class, it's not right when you get lucky enough to be around Xur when he's selling it or damned lucky enough to find it as a drop and then switch back to your legendary because the [b]EXOTIC[/b] you just got was crap in comparison to it. I don't really know if Bad Juju is good or not but if something has to be said for the sake of Red Death, well then maybe that's proof enough that it needs to be looked at again too. Now I'm not asking you to make the Red death a 'god amongst men' in reference to all the weapons in Destiny. But, I am asking you to make sure that the exotics are the 'gods amongst men' of their respective weapon class. For example, Thorn and the Last Word... Need I say more? I shall anyways, Thorn is a two shot weapon (which apparently pulse rifles can be) in the right hands (until it's nerfed of course). And if you are in a 1v1 against the freaking Last Word... (Mafia voice) Fugget about it... You're dead. Billy the Kid right there. Gjally is not even worth going into detail about, we all know what it does. My point is that the pulse rifle exotics need to be 'gods amongst men' when talking about pulse rifles, Red Death in particular. Anything less than the best (for Red Death) is a felony :P. So that is my request Bungie. Make the exotic pulse rifles live up to what it means to be an exotic. Any questions, comments, concerns are gladly welcome. Any haters will hate anyways so you are welcome as well. Thanks. Rand0mst1cky, signing off.

  • Messenger is harder to get. Requires much more skill to get (esp an adept version). And it doesn't have an exotic perk. Base stats for these two weapons make them a healthy give/take when choosing between them. Perks make them even harder to choose between: Red Death: spends your exotic slot but gives you health regeneration. Messenger: no health regen, but now can use special or heavy exotic. Seems pretty balanced to me.
