Glass cannon. (Destiny)

On the phogoth nightfall I still needed to use icebreaker on wizards even though I had a fully upgraded arc shotty.

I feel like that has more to do with range than anything else. With arc burn on, getting within shotgun range of a wizard would have been suicide (they do arc damage, BTW). Hell, getting anywhere within attack range of a wizard was generally a bad idea in that strike.

My experience has been that the burn buff is so massive that you're typically better off sticking with whatever damage type is boosted. Shield resists aren't enough to make up the difference. There's nothing I like better than a solar burn modifier - I just load up Light/BEWARE and proceed with the domination. It'll one-shot void shielded shanks, no problem. Come to think of it, the last time that happened was before I had Gjallarhorn. I wonder what that'll be like...
