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!

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.
