Yeah the perks made for some clutch revives in POE/Raids and Trials. They are still solid.

Yep. I think that the gauntlets are useful. The others not so much. But who knows, lots of stuff are being changed for TTK.
Yes.
It's only 3pm on the west coast, I think they'll keep going unless they plan on doing this again next week or something.
I'm not going to poo-poo any items before I get to see how they perform myself. Bungie's itemisation team don't just randomly pick out perks from a hat when designing Exotics. They have a special build or use in mind, no matter how niche it may be.
It's also wise to not expect another St.14 where you're basically forced to use it over everything else. Build diversity is important.

Guys, I can finally fulfill my dream of becoming a werewolf Hunter with those gauntlets.
Or make everything St. 14 tier to add uniqueness/fun to the game. A tame exotic doesn't do Bungie or players any favors.

Whatchu talking about Willis?
This is literally the "how bungie should balance broken exotics" argument that I've continually seen for gjally, TLW, and thorn. Let's balance the game by breaking it further then complain about how broken it is. I know Saint-14 isn't broken but exotics need to come in tiers and flavors for different situations. Saint-14 is near the line
When's the last time you saw someone using No Backup Plans or Sunbreakers? Exotics have to be useful in order for people to want to use them.

My personal opinion is that St. 14 tier Exotics should be harder to obtain. If something is so good that it dominates your equipped slot then it shouldn't simply be bought with strange coins.
I wish I could have a chat with Bungie's lead designers.
But then you get lfg bullshittiness and the game is no longer challenging. I've hated using my gjally since I got it in February but it's necessary for "easy mode" when you're carrying or fucking around. Gjally, thorn, and TLW has made the game worse off.

Then Bungie gets to hear all day about how RNG is unfair.My personal opinion is that St. 14 tier Exotics should be harder to obtain. If something is so good that it dominates your equipped slot then it shouldn't simply be bought with strange coins.

Okay, I mean, this isn't really a counter, but I think these would be fair, enjoyable, and not unbalanced exotic effects
-Stealth while stationary and ADS with a special weapon (any class I guess, i.e.: Patience and Time's effect for any special weapon)
-Sliding causes melee damage to enemies in your path (any class)
-Scoring a precision kill with throwing knife refills your special weapon ammo (Gunslinger)
-Enemies inside your Ward of Dawn take damage over time (Defender, basically New Thorn's max DOT applied to anyone inside the bubble)
-Kills with Shoulder Charge produce Orbs of Light (Striker, for crazy PvE orb gen builds and max agility aggressive players in Crucible)
-The duration of Radiance is extended and your super charges more quickly. Fireborn may not selected. (Sunsinger, if you have Fireborn equipped it's just a lost perk, you won't be able to self-res while wearing it).
-Nova Bomb is replaced with a smaller, more damaging projectile that also tracks enemies. This Nova Bomb will not produce orbs. (Voidwalker, basically a Nighthawk-alike for bosses)
the effects can range from subtle to profound but should basically shape your build to some degree, being chosen for playstyle or a specific task at hand if not both
Got it, someone joined just a minute before I saw the notification though

Warlock?
Why must RNG be involved though?
You can create a very lengthy set of tasks that must be carried out in order to obtain a strong piece of loot. Once you've put in the time and effort to get it you feel a great sense of satisfaction, a rewarding feeling. This is something that's missing in the game for me.
Exotic Bounties are sort of like that but not really since they can be completed in a day easily.

Fucking IB. I wasted 28,000 glimmer on soon to be useless weapons last time. Still bitter.

is this helm for Defender? cuz i wanna scrap the Saint for this asap. looks good.
This helmet will annoy the fuck out of you lik. Every time you aim while in the air you end up floating in place. Even when you don't want to. Its so annoying. They took the worst perk for warlocks and gave it to titans for the lols. Like the lore behind the helmet though.
I'd be absolutely ecstatic if Xur were removed from the game. I'm not a fan of everyone having access to an exotic store.My personal opinion is that St. 14 tier Exotics should be harder to obtain. If something is so good that it dominates your equipped slot then it shouldn't simply be bought with strange coins.

I don't use LFG and GAF doesn't have that mentality. I don't see it as a problem if you'd choose to not use it.

Final Xur exotic Instagram pic is
heavy fusion rifle, sleeper stimulant. Interesting. All we know is that it lasers tears through enemies and ricochet haha. Hmmm the tease is real
calling whining whining is merely to label something as observed. Honestly now. It doesn't stop being whining if the concerns expressed are justified. My threshold for complaints is pretty high and has grown since starting to play Destiny, but please observe the posts decrying the gloves that you underscore have an actual viable, practical perk as useless- and you only went over the potential use case for Bladedancers in the first place.
Funnily enough I interpreted the effect of the Warlock chest you're describing as the secondary of the two, and imagine it will mostly be useful for quick-farming glimmer.
fuck it
So in that short amount of time between replies you came up with more interesting perks than any of the exotics revealed today is my problem with the news today.

Thanks Xur for showing an exotic that's already been shown before.
Still damn sexy tho.

I missed somehow that The Chaperone fires a single slug instead of shot. That's fascinating, and I actually can't really envision how it will function with Destiny shooting mechanics. I'm pretty psyched about every weapon I've seen shown so far at least, actually.
Oh, you had that problem, too, huh? Shit annoyed me greatly with my stock DS4. My White Camo doesn't seem to have that problem, but I have been dropping it considerably less that my first one. Too bad that LE console DS4 won't have decals on it. But it'll probably be collecting dust anyhow once the PSX DS4 drops.
So I've just gotten a chance to check out the announced new Exotics.
- Titans can now Warlock.
- That Warlock chest is only useful for PvE
- The Telestro Fusion Rifle reminds me of the Scorpion Heavy Pistol from Mass Effect 3.
- Sealed Ahamkara Grasps are going to be badass in PvP. Double Throwing Knife, with a chance to reload Primary.

Dgaf and you aren't the only ones playing the game. And sheesh guys, you do realize xur is there to balance the game for those that don't play everyday, right? You Say xur is useless but he's only useless to you because you have 17+ strange coins and multiple exotics. For casuals strange coins are hard to come by and xur is their only hope of even getting an exotic without playing hours for rng to reward them.
Bottom of the page, meh, whatever.
