Xenophage Buff is Too Much Based on Damage Testing

If Xenophage gets its damage increased against bosses by 50% it'd be the go to weapon for all activities except maybe the Sanctified Mind (depending on how bad the range penalty is). The only thing that'd beat it would be an Izanagi * 4 shot followed by Love & Death. All of these tests were done on Riven with a solo hunter without using any buff, debuff, or faster reload mod/ exotic. I did use the hunter dodge for the first reload where applicable (but I did find that it usually didn't change dps that much). Most of these weapons were tested on October 1st and then the exotics were tested as they came out.

  • Did you even look at your own numbers? -blam!-ing merciless does more damage than xenophage according to you. Even edge transzit does more damage. How would a 50% pve damage buff make it the go to option if there are better damage options?
