You know what? Bungie, for the most part, adressed everything we wanted them to regarding exotics. Chappy is less... Chappy, Lorentz is fightable, Tarrabah is more friendly to use, all these good things and more that I think we all appreciate.
However... My heart sinks even lower as i reach the end and see no Legend of Acrius...
As people have pointed out in the past, the reason for it lacking is due to the mission and boss design of stomping or being blocked, rather than no damage. But as swords have the means to counter this, I feel like Acrius should get something similiar, especially because it's exotic perk 'Long March' is just 'See enemies on the radar further'.
Therefore, i believe its due time for this perk to be replaced with something else, first thought being that dealing damage adds stacks that reduce knockback taken whilst wielding the gun. An alternative could be that while holding the gun, you are significantly slowed but take much less damage and knockback: Think a cross between Icefall mantle and Heir Apparent.
In any case, even if it isn't made meta, i would like to see the perk changed to anything else, as it is the most pointless perk in the game.
TL:DR: Acrius is too risky, give it knockback resistance.
