Then what would be the point of running the spark or jumping on the platforms?
I dunno but it could go either way.
ToM might be put in for HM, as you'll get it after clearing NM. So NM can be beaten without it. Maybe ToM is required for HM, though Bungie didn't want a required LFG weapon again. ToM isn't RNG though, so really everyone can get it when they want.
But Bungie might also notice how useful it is against the bosses, and decides to dick us.
Maybe HM is just more cycles, more detonations. With no revives. That would be lame though. But invis for one dude, I could see that happening. I actually don't know, lol.
