Posting it here too because this thread is a bit more visible. As soon as I saw the "Changed text of.." in the patch notes, I knew it likely wasn't going to get fixed and would end up going the way of Oathkeepers. Which is quite sad because Hunters are on a terrible streak of getting underwhelming exotics or exotics that quickly get the nuclear option. On the plus side the team did fix it to where D-hit kills on bosses and majors now actually ignite. But on the down side: 1. It still doesn't cause ignite on things without crit spots. A D-hit on a shank will not cause an ignite. 2. The exotic still says it ignites on direct hits, not kills. 3. This change in intention sadly means that in high end content it's less effective at doing its gimmick than other combinations. Weighted knife causes ignite on anything that is scorched, allowing for a very similar loop. With incandescence, skyburners and the myriad other ways of applying scorch stacks.. that loop is extremely easy. Hell, with Athrys's Embrace you can significantly increase the damage on top of that to guarantee you're getting those refunds from kills. The exotic is still fun where it shines, but as enemy health raises it just feels like the effectiveness of your exotic slot plummets pretty harshly.
