What's the point?
Of all that grafting for exotics?
Am I really not getting something but I'm starting to struggle with all the work needed for exotic weapons.
For Christmas I got The Devil You Don't which is a legendary hand cannon which tops out at 331. The last word from xur does the same. Similarly I have murmur which is a 331 legendary fusion and outstrips my Plan C.
OK there's the personal preferences between individual guns but is it getting pointless to put all the effort in for exotics when you can get the same level of damage from a legendary without the slot limitation?
Thoughts?

I also have TDYD legendary hand cannon and TLW, both fully levelled. I must say TLW is in a different league: one shot most things, fire rate, mag size, etc. Its not just about the damage figure 331, exotics allow you put more damage, quicker and easier than equivalent legendary items (in general). Echoing the other posts, Icebreaker and Gjallarhorn justify their status, they are game changing weapons, e.g. soloing nightfall. Although I am now looking forward to levelling up the Black Hammer I got last night.

Most of the exotics aren't anything special, the Galla, icebreaker are must haves though & thorn is very good.

1 ReplyThere are a few exotics I think are worth it for the perks. Basically IB for the infinite ammo and Gjallahorn for the Wolfpack rounds (possibly Truth for the aggressive tracking). I've had many others, Plan C, Red Death, TLW, Super Good Advice, Multi-tool and some others I can't recall off the top of my head. Never used any of them much. I did grind most of them just for the sake of having them maxed but once we found out we were going to have to redo that every three months I gave up! Basically I will regrind my IB and Gjallahorn (if I ever get it) but I haven't bothered re-grinding the rest. Some I've kept as they were (Truth, Mult-tool) the rest I scraped for the exotic shards. I did buy dragons breath and grind it but only because I'm still lacking in the Gjallahorn department. If I wasn't then I wouldn't have bothered. There are often posts on the forums about nerfing IB and in particular Gjallahorn, personally I think they should be making all exotics that good either with perks or increased damage so every exotic should be significantly better than the legendary stuff you can buy at the vendor. That's PvE though. Don't really play PvP. I believe some of the others like TLW are well regarded in PvP.

I agree, I have only maxed out my upgraded monte carlo when the same thing occurred to me. Once House of Wolves drops I might start on the others.
