[quote]How does that work during a boss encounter “effectively “?[/quote] Define "effectively". [quote]If you have your super can you still pick up orbs for it?[/quote] Yes. [quote]Is it one orb for the next shot that needs to be fired only?[/quote] Each orb you pick up charges to the next shot from the weapon. Up to a total of six (full magazine) charged shots that can be stored. [quote]When doing boss DPS a lot of times the fire team is huddled together. Do you fire a shot then run to the next orb to power up the next shot then fire again?[/quote] No. You pick up orbs along the way, storing up charged shots....then you unload them in succession when you need them. You only get six at a time....but those grenades do massive damage. Especially if you augment the weapon with a Boss damage mod. [quote]On paper it sounds like a poor design. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt because some gear have poor perk descriptions.[/quote] No. Its actually a great design for pinnacle weapon. One that gives SITUATIONAL power that makes it worth using over other weapons....but not making it the best solution to EVERY problem, and thus break the game like the pinnacle hand cannons were doing in PVP. The weapon is designed to give you a MASSIVE burst of damage output, that allows you to do massive damage to bosses at short range....but without breaking the game as a whole or trivializing content. [quote]I just don’t see angle here.[/quote] Its one of the game's premiere BURST damage weapons for PVE. Which makes it good for raid-boss fights where you need to pack a lot of damage into a short window in time. Then when that window closes....you pick up more orbs....and charge up six more shots for the next window. It gives a benefit for generating orbs beyond just charging your super. So that orbs generated after everyone's super is charged dont' simply go to waste.....or threaten to crash the game.
