What I've been saying for a while now, but I keep getting down voted into oblivion. They keep releasing catalysts for weapons that fit one of the following categories:
A. Season pass/ current season quest exotic such as Hawkmoon, DMT, and Ruinous Effigy for examples. This is fine in most cases.
B. Weapons that don't deserve catalysts such as Lord of Wolves when it got one the season after it was basically a burst fire sniper, or Lumina when it got one just 3 seasons after it's release, yet we're still waiting for Thorn, TLW, and Malfeasance. TLW and Malfeasance catalysts have been in the database as early as their release if not sooner.
C. Weapons no one uses/ wants to use. Trinity Ghoul got it good for sure, but Leviathan, Heir Apparent, and Deathbringer, no one used. Almost everyone using Heir is abusing it's massive resistance buff, almost no one still uses Deathbringer (especially now that fusions are so powerful), and Leviathan is still worthless. Three seasons, three heavy weapons in a row. Then we have weapons like Traveler's Chosen, it's easily among the best sidearms in the game, but that's the problem, IT IS A SIDEARM! It is almost, if not useless beyond shotgun rushing distance.
I can name over a dozen other weapons that are more deserving, or in greater need of catalysts. If we're lucky, Thorn might get one to celebrate the 30th anniversary considering the armor is based on Thorn, otherwise, expect one for Ager's or Gjallarhorn.

Deathbringer is God tier for damage. If fusions weren't so good this season I'd be using Deathbringer.

I am convinced there is a down voting crew, that works for and is paid for by Bungie.

Leviathans breath is pretty good. Maybe not this season since lineair fusion rifles are the meta. However, with the catalyst, a full mag of leviathans breath does top tier amounts of damage. It also has the intrinsic perk to stagger bosses infinitely, or well... until the 'mag' runs out. I used it a lot in GM's, because bosses cant attack you or your teammates, like, at all, 0 risk, high reward. Its highly underrated and doesnt deserve the hate its getting. Also, dont forget the ease of use, infinite range and aim assist.
