Some old fun exotics should get elemental verb synergy

Sometimes i like to fun around with some old exotics that have some crazy fun and unique perks that have been forgotten because they didn't get a buff, or they got a perk that doesn't really improve the weapon and a simple legendary weapon with subclass perks can outperform these in buildcrafting. For example Symmetry is a crazy fun and could be good exotic, it got a buff in a face of Eddy Current, its good but the weapon is useless because i cant use it in build, because the lack of subclass verbs. Devil's Ruin falls in the same category, givving anti-champ stuff on old weapons won't bring the usefulness back. As for the meme pick of Ruinous Effigy, could be fun and bit of useful, if there would be subclass verbs. For heavy weapons, Truth, Wordline and Black Talon could be fun with some buff, or Xenophage. This idea came to mind when i started doing some challanges with Symmetry, so you could say i'm biased, but in the great scheme of things they would be a solid pick with some elemental verb stuff. For example, on Symmetry losing Eddy Current and giving it the power to jolt or bild on the next shot after every 5th or 10th stack of Dynamyc Charge, that would make it a good build option, and maybe after 15 or 20 stack (with or without catalyst) you wouldn't be able to jolt, so it forces you to use alt fire mode. For Devil's Ruin some special scorch when dealing sustained fire on a sigle target or just Incandescent would do the trick in my opinion. For other weapons, specially for the heavies you could have the craziest ideas and get away with it. These have some potential and i think it's not okay to leave such good weapon designs left behind in the sandbox.

Reload sucks donkey balls
