Yup, totally agree. (Destiny)

I think the elements are a necessary evil.

Not necessarily. You have raid weapons with unique perks, like White Nail, Hive Disruptor, etc. Fatebringer would, without arc damage, still own because of firefly. Raid weapons can be treated like Mini exotics. An element is not the only thing that can make them desirable.

I was right in the middle of typing a message with this very point and noticed you brought it up before posting it. Instead of elemental damage or crazy awesome rolls there should be perks that help with end game activities.

I might still use Fatebringer over TDYK because of Firefly, but I'd use TDYK in many more situations if it weren't for the Arc of Fatebringer. I currently prefer TDYK over Fatebringer (& even Hawkmoon) in PvP. There's just something about that gun that works for me.

I miss a little of the struggle/difficulty back when I was mostly using blue weapons & secondaries/heavies were the only thing with elemental damage. It certainly did make the game more interesting and those shielded enemies tougher.
