That's just you two. Exotics are meant to be juggled! (Destiny)

I do swap gear around mid-mission as well... I just swap between icebreaker and Gjallarhorn :)

I should say, if I'm doing a daily mission with friends, or a low-level mission for a bounty, I'll use other guns just to good around and mix things up. But the majority of my time with Destiny is spent playing raids, Nightfalls, and level 30 heroic missions. In those challenging situations, I'm going to use the most effective gear I have. 99% of the time, that's Icebreaker or Gjallarhorn.

Cody and Korny both mentioned Truth earlier in the thread: that weapon is the perfect example of the problem with exotics in PvE. Here's an exotic 331 rocket launcher that's fully maxed out, and yet it does about half the damage to a praetorian that Gjallarhorn does, even though it's got void damage. That's an extreme example, but I feel it holds true across all the exotics: most of them are drastically outclassed by IB and GH.

Now, it's worth mentioning that I do have 3 fatebringers, 2 Fangs of Ir Yut, and a handful of other exceptional legendary primary weapons. If I didn't have so many great non-exotic primaries, I might be motivated to us my Mythoclast or Thorn more often.
