Wow, That's.... (Destiny)

I think it sounds like a really interesting weapon in theory (don't actually have one myself yet). It's a risk vs. reward calculation you have to make, because you CAN do double damage, but you have to keep taking your own health down to do so (and it doesn't stop unless you stop firing - you can actually kill yourself just by firing the gun), which is obviously very risky in a lot of situations.

In the two final raid battles, its biggest downside - the health burn - is negated; being inside the aura eliminates the health reduction. You can fire non-stop with no downside at all. The argument above (that it's the best end-weapon by far) is not even subjective. :)

If you have a defender Titan, you can use blessing of light, and touch of Malice will take away the overshield, which you can then replenish by dipping in and out of the bubble. The downside can be negated in more situations than you think.
