I'd argue that any sniper rifle inside Omnigul's final room is asking for trouble. Witches, Melee Knights, Boomer Knights, and Acolytes literally everywhere makes even your suggested technique less efficient than a good FR. So in the case of Omnigul's final room, I simply don't use a sniper rifle, regardless of it's reload time or firing rate. But at that point, we're talking about personal style preferences in very specific encounters rather than rating the general effectiveness of one sniper rifle to another.

I guess my point is that because the enemies are so spongey, you want to use snipers just to get them over with quickly. With an Icebreaker, I can put six shots on Omnigul pretty quickly and then switch to my VoC or my Corrective Measure. If I were to use the NLB, that's just not viable. Arguably you could do use two snipers or something, but the NLB isn't better than any other sniper to make that a viable strategy.

I just find it weird that Blackhammer gets the special perk while the exotic has nothing good about it other than it being a fun novelty to use.

Well, it's a primary, I mean, that may not count for much but it's certainly the only one.

Probably Hawkian... he seems the most neutral and peaceful.

Sorry buddy. I hope you upgraded your hunter helm with the perk to catch giant rocks with your face.

Welp. Time to look for a redbox with Destiny PS3 just to get the horn upgrade.

So I'll just start the game and my same character will show? With all the same inventory and everything?

Everything is identical. You don't even need to import anything. It's all there when you log in.

 

[Deku Tree]

Gimme!!!

 

[Frenden]

Anecdotal GAF reporting suggests that even the PS3 is having issues now.

I almost went out to buy a refurbed one too. Natch.

You're just gonna chuck it at Crota the first chance you get.

 

[Twilight Gap]

in our raid group of 6 you're on a prime number.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Guess I won't be doing the urn quest line to get an easy start on legendaries on my ps4 hunter. Probably would have struggled a little only being 22 anyway.

Well, it's a primary, I mean, that may not count for much but it's certainly the only one.

I just think the way that sniper rifles are used in this game, it's just not very viable as it stands compared to pretty much every other sniper in the game.

I mean, if you could count on it one-shotting major knights with a headshot, then maybe it'd at least be a good way to start. But at least in its fresh form, it takes 2-3 shots to take out a knight.

That said, I don't know if it's the worst new exotic in the game. The Fourth Horseman is still pretty stupid too, and the Necrocasm seems kind of pointless outside of arc burns.

for the curious, the inability to play destiny at all slowed the avg. posting rate by roughly... increased by 10%
