Telesto is a joy. Feels super alien. Nothing in the game like it. Sleek, futuristic look, spacy sounds. Fantastic exotic.
Absolutely. And it's also highly useful for specialist and void burn(the orbs on multi kill just seal the deal). It's why the best exotics are ones that change the rules or are truly unique, instead of just being super powerful(Black Spindle, Truth).
Ice Breaker, Sleeper Simulant and Touch of Malice sit squarely in Telesto tier of being highly useful, unique and having really cool aesthetics. I wish they were all so good. There are still really fun and good weapons that look or play more generic like Jade Rabbit, The Last Word, Gjallarhorn, Ace of Spades, Tlaloc. The Queen's exotics are unique but have niche usefulness. Exotics are too married to their weapon type being a part of the meta when I feel they should always be unique and highly useful. Maybe exotics could be balanced differently than the same type legendaries. They have examples already in the patch notes.
I probably haven't used Patience and Time since doing Arc Burn Phogoth in Year 1. The sniper glare should be reduced to maybe 66 or 75 percent in pvp.
