Should Destiny 2 have Elemental Primaries?
Personally, I don't see why not as long as there are multiple options. I thought the raid weapons from year 1 were super useful, and then as trials weapons got burns it gave us more options to play with. Even though I understand that they don't want non-elemental primaries to feel useless, I just wish that Zhalo wasn't the only useful primary if burns are active.
I think it would be cool if there was a way to infuse a primary so that it becomes elemental. That would be awesome if we had to raid (or something) to get an item that we could then use to imbue our primaries with arc burn or whatever.
Thoughts?
*edit* thanks for all the likes. I really hope bungie gets to see this and at least consider it. I definitely think they should bring it back.

You immediately relegate everything else in that gear slot to TRASH TIER. 2. You immediately make the game absurdly easy for those with those items I roared through A Summoning Pits NIGHTFALL in Year One with Void burn....with a team armed with to the teeth with void damage. We completed it in five minutes. 3. You back the devs into a corner. Either they let you make a mockery of the game.....or else they push back and either nerf that weaon into ground....or the make the enemies more damage resistant to compensate, and preserve the difficulty. Either you break the game....or the devs break the weapon that's breaking the game. Which gave us Skolas and Qodron in Year One. Obnoxiously bullet-spongy and tediously difficult boss fights that were tuned to stand up to the OP exotics and elemental primaries that everyone was running around with by that point in Year One. So people got stuck having to use those weapons whether they wanted to or not....and fights were so PAINFULLY NOT FUN that both ended up getting NERFED. ...and even after that most people STILL hated playing the Skolas fight. The game is better off with out them....and what it will take to make PVE exciting again won't be found in letting them back into the game.
