Trials of Osiris - Week 2 (Destiny)

Only bummer of the night was that my 2nd adept weapon to drop was exactly the same as my first; a Jewel of Osiris with arc damage. It's a decent gun, but it's basically a slightly less amazing Fatebringer. So there's really no reason to ever use it, considering I already have 3 365 Fatebringers (first world problems, much? lol).

Isn't it designed as a PvP handcannon? Because overall Fatebringer is a terrible PvP gun.

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of the stats, but the Jewel of Osiris is certainly based on the Fatebringer archetype. Overall handling, rate of fire, even the physical model is pretty much identical. For perks it has 3rd eye and bonus accuracy while airborne (not particularly exciting). It also has a smaller clip than Fatebringer.

I've used it a bit in PvE. Hits like a truck, and handles well. I suspect the impact may be slightly higher than Fatebringer, but overall it feels like "Fatebringer Jr".

That being said, Cyber has a solar version and I'm totally jelly. I nice, hard hitting hand cannon with solar damage would be perfect for dismantling hive and cabal :)
