Taken King and Elemental Primaries (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Friday, August 21, 2015, 14:02 (3381 days ago) @ kanbo

I mostly agree. Maybe an alternate solution would be to have more elemental primaries, so that the focus isn't just on a small subset of them. And then have more diversity in enemy shield types. Maybe remove/reduce the extra damage during burn modifiers for primary weapons.

Primary weapons, being ubiquitous and used often due to high reserve ammo, are I think just a bad choice to have elemental damage with. If you can just deal elemental damage all the time, willy nilly, it doesn't mean anything. That should be a special case, and correspondingly only available on specials, heavies, or exotic primaries.
