Any new Gear Worth using? (Destiny)

Has anybody got a new legendary that outperforms their old go to?

There was a thread on Reddit arguing that because the new perks have tradeoffs instead of being straight buffs, that old gear will always outperform new. There is a little bit of truth to that. I will never find a better fusion rifle than my amazing Purifier VIII.

But I don't think it's all that bad. BTRD-345 is easily the best legendary HMG I've found. Deadshot Luna replaces my B-Line trauma.

Post your good new weapons and rolls.

Deadshot Luna is one of my current favorites. The Trials of Osiris weapons seem pretty strong as well. The Scout Rifle hits like a truck, and the Auto Rifle is fantastic. I took it for a spin in the crucible yesterday and was going toe-to-toe with all but the best thorn/Hawkmoon users. In some situations, it is actually better than a hand cannon (like if you have 2 or 3 enemies in a right space).

I got another surprisingly good auto rifle from a random drop; a Low Down PXIV. It's the low impact/high RoF archetype (which I usually avoid), but mine came with Sureshot IS, Battlerunner, Rifled Barrel (increased range) and Hidden hand (better target acquisition). Makes it amazingly accurate for its archetype.

Another fun new weapon is the Her Mercy hand cannon I got from a PoE drop. It's got Battle Runner, Lightweight (+2 agility) and Outlaw. It's like a Hand Cannon version of Mida Multitool.
