Before it only made two primary weapons viable, Fatebringer and Vision of Confluence. People that didn't manage to get a Fatebringer used Fang of Ir Yut. Now, every single one of the Cocoon weapons is viable in the raid and outside of it as long as you take advantage of Cocoon. We need more abilities like Cocoon to make things viable rather than just a flat elemental damage perk on there. It was stupid, made weapons with cool perks like Cocoon completely useless, you had to use that weapon just because of the Elemental damage the perks on the gun were a side bonus but the main reason to use that gun was the elemental bonus, and that shouldn't happen. And remember Vision of Confluence and Fatebringer were the weapons of the first raid. So they remained the best weapons for a solid year which is also retarded, they overpowered the weapons by giving them the best perks and slapped elemental damage on them. They didn't know what they were doing and they learned. It was a necessary change that needed to happen to stop people from using one or two weapons out of many. "Elemental Crystals" wouldn't work either, because they weren't just putting other primaries to shame. They were making it so that secondary and heavy were only used on bosses. You could just blaze through every activity with just your 2-3 primary weapons, it's stupid. Exotics are the reason we should feel "Crazy powerful" not legendary weapons.
