+1, and then some. (Destiny)

TUS, even without FA/Zen/FS is still one of my favorite Y2 scout rifles. I actually used Vision for solar damage more than anything. I even shifted to using Abyss Defiant for solar damage, because I actually prefer autorifles, except when I needed extra range. And while I really like Word of Crota (it was my PvP main for the later part of Y1) I only used it in PvE when I needed Void damage in high bursts and steadily.

This right here is one of the reasons I loved elemental primaries. It gave me concrete reasons to use a variety of different primary weapons more often. Fang of Ir Yut was a great weapon, but never one of my favorites. I would never ever have used it if it weren't for the elemental damage, but from time to time I'd find myself in a situation where I really wanted a Scout Rifle with Arc damage. Same with Word of Crota, Atheon's Epilogue, Abyss Defiant... heck, ALL the raid primaries aside from Fatebringer.

In year 2, I've scrapped every single raid primary I've ever gotten except for a single pulse rifle (because it has firefly and I love the idea of a PR with firefly). Without elemental damage, there is nothing noteworthy about any of the King's Fall primaries. Nothing to set them apart of make them worth using in favor of the 20 or 30 other primaries I already have.
