The Word of Crota as a weapon itself is pretty amazing. It's a great hand cannon, but there's on extremely annoying issue that comes up.
It has the same issues that Black Hammer had! The Phantom Gift is useless against Hive Majors because of the extra non-precision damage it does, so the perk doesn't actually work against anything that is a Hallowed Hive enemy, for example a Hallowed Knight.
The explosive rounds perk does the same, so the Phantom Gift doesn't take effect, so we're basically restricted to only two perks of the three perk tree on the weapon.
Could Bungie please take this issue into account as you have done to Black Hammer and either replace Phantom Gift entirely or at least tell us you're working on it like you did the Black Hammer?
Note: If you have The Word of Crota as well and dislike the fact that the perks contradict each other, bump and like this so Bungie could see it!
Thanks!

Bump. WoC is broken please fix it.
-
Firefly please and thanks
-
I would rather they just swap phantom with firefly. Void fatebringer.
-
Phantom Gift is useless for a hand cannon anyway. Can you guys please get over it before they remove hive disruptor?
-
There's nothing to be fixed
-
Phantom Gift works with explosive rounds was using them today on the daily and getting the triple headies activates a little mag perk in the bottom left corner of the screen

Kind of dumb the devs didn't see this coming
-
Id rather them fix the glitches on crota before they fix word... just sayin

I was testing Word vs Fatebringer last night on hive majors in the abyss. I noticed that word was not dealing the additional hive disruptor damage (added "white" damage) that was causing the bug. I believe that the hive disruptor perk might have been disabled as a temp fix. Can anyone confirm?

Edited by BonusAFB: 2/4/2015 1:26:20 PMI have the word of crota and I agree it needs a fix. My solution to the Phantom gift bug is just to get rid of it. Technically it can give you 4 extra bullets per clip if you land all head shots but it's really not worth it. if they would just replace it with a speed reload perk it would be an awesome weapon. just any perk that did anything would make it awesome. At its current state I still think this gun is good I use it all the time. I would just like for all of the perks to work or replace the broken perk which is probably what they will end up doing. Forgot to add, they had to of known that these guns perks were broken when they released CE and CE hard mode. You can't tell me that they have made this many mistakes weapons wise that they wouldn't start testing all of the perks.

Hello All, Personally speaking, I do not have the Word of Crota... Yet. That being said, I will use the weapon myself and figure out where it fits into my particular play style within Destiny's various game modes and decide for myself... this week, I hope. : ) I have watched and read a lot of reviews on The Word of,Crota. It's a shame really as I prefer handcannons over any other primary in Destiny and have been looking forward to welcoming this one to the fold. I wish the weapon performed as designed at launch but understand that it's main perk Phantom gift is not working due to a bug with the Explosives Rounds and / or Hive Disruptor perks same as the Black Hammer. Hence. why the Hive Disruptor perk was removed from the weapon Black Hammer. I verified, it's gone. (side note) IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I agree with ALL of the aforementioned reviews which state that "THE PHANTOM GIFT" perk is extremely underwhelming. Please keep in mind, it is my opinion regarding the perk based on information from reviews. Whatever route they choose, I hope Bungie resolves these issues with The Word of Crota and The Black Hammer soon. Thank you. p.s. @QuackMooDuck, thanks for starting this petition.

Edited by Ko-: 2/3/2015 8:07:43 PMI own WoC and I personally don't think it's a big deal. If they fix it will it be advantageous? Sure. But to me, it's just an empty bonus. Using ER on WoC has the same effect as using ER on Fatebringer with firefly. Sometimes it works. Other times it doesn't. I find that the possible 5 extra bullets aren't worth fretting over. A semi-fix would be to simply run the perk that increases it's range. That's all I use. One-shots for days. Edit: also, seeing that this post applies mainly to hive majors; if we take a look at the strongest hive majors (hallowed knights in CE) vs WoC, WoC can easily take their health down to below half with 12 bullets even if you are shooting at them solo. Considering that the only time you would be shooting at them with it is in the crystal room, I would say you wouldn't even need a full clip to kill them if 2 other members are also shooting them.
