So, I've had this weapon for a few days now and I have played around with it quite a bit. It is a fun weapon that looks cool, sounds cool, it also does a cool thing, and it does very good damage for a primary. It's fun, I like it.
Bungie, I'm not sure that changing the burn effect from the ball of darkness from 2 secs to 3.5 seconds is going to change a whole lot. As I have been using the weapon I have notice that the biggest issue with charged with blight is it just takes way too long to activate. I would have been happier with a charged with blight activation speed increase. Also, you could have made the burn effect 5 seconds and it wouldn't have been too strong.
How about giving its' catalyst a perk that gives it a charged with blight activation speed increase and increases the burn damage to 5 secs. I don't think this would be too strong at all.
Currently the catalyst for Touch of Malice is pretty useless at least IMO. Rapid hit just doesn't do enough.
Just my thought's

No one uses it at all. They’ll buff it again or leave it for good.
