Just a few weeks ago, I proudly went to the gunsmith to turn in the final phase in Toland's Legacy, the exotic bounty for which you are rewarded the pulse rifle Bad Juju. Let me tell you, I was [i]stoked[/i]. However, after a few rounds in the Crucible and a patrol of the cosmodrome, it became clear to me that this was not the exotic weapon that I had anticipated. So I got to thinking (rather than complaining) about how this weapon could be improved from an all-talk-and-no-rock weapon to a viable pulse rifle. Here is what I came up with. Keep in mind that these are separate and/or individual improvements, rather than a list of things to add:
- Increased magazine size. Probably upped to somewhere around 18-21 bullets. You might think that this would be overpowered when combined with String of Curses, but would allow for those of us who enjoy the Crucible to miss a shot or two (and still get the kill) and maybe [i]use[/i] String of Curses. I would recommend (for balance) 18 bullets: an additional burst.
- If the last one doesn't suit your fancy, I would recommend that you give this weapon an impact buff to the extent that you can get a kill and still miss a shot or two from your 15 round mag.
- If nothing else, boost stability a bit. This would allow players to fully leverage the Full Auto capabilities of Bad Juju without having to deal with the extra recoil.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread, and I hope that you come away with a good idea of how this weapon could be improved.

It's was supposed to get a major buff along with thorn, 3 weeks ago.
