PSA: Stop using Zhalo for Arc burn activities!
Just a reminder asking people to please stop overusing Zhalo. In the last month of heroic strikes and nightfalls there's been Arc burn on five times. (3 heroic, 2 nightfalls) No doubt Zhalo has been [u]THE[/u] go-to primary weapon for these strikes. Unfortunately we are all playing into Bungie's evil plans to nerf the Zhalo by removing the arc burn from it. How you ask? Simple. By driving up the usage via high level content with Arc burn, Bungie and the sandbox team can now put out a graph next month saying Zhalo is overused and not the diverse primary choices they intended hence it needs a nerf and the burn removed. Don't fall into their games people! They already got your legendary burn primaries and now almost a full year later they're coming for the exotic one.
I know people will think I'm insane or been hanging out with Eris too long in the tower but I'm right people. Just look at some of the changes and nerfs they've made because a certain weapon or archetype is overused in the game. Autos, Pulses and Hand Cannons have all been nerfed due to overuse at some point. Shotguns? Nerfed several times. Snipers? Major ammo nerf due to overuse. Field Scout, Final Round, Counterbalance, Hammer Forged, etc...All nerfed because those were the only perks people were looking to use. Mida? Average weapon nerfed when it suddenly soared to popularity and became heavily overused in pvp. Gjallarhorn? Nerfed because it was virtually the only heavy weapon being used and idiots demanded you had it or you were blacklisted from raids and such. The nerfhammer is coming for Zhalo and its up to us to try and stop it.
Tldr: Stop overusing Zhalo or Bungie will nerf it because that's how they roll.

2 RepliesI dare you to make less sense. You don't think they account for this? Skulls in strikes are literally designed to challenge the players to use their gear and classes more intelligently.
-
This is literally the third most stupidist post on the forums right now.
-
1 ReplyZhalo shouldn't be the only elemental primary. There should exist at least one of each type. I would make Tlaloc solar and Ace of Spades void.
-
3 RepliesIts the overuse of a certain weapon types in PvP not PvE that gets bungie all excited to make graphs & then Nerf it into oblivion. But so what if they did? I can live without elemental primary's.
-
Ok coach
-
Or maybe we can inform bungie that we[i]want[/i] elements on primaries and maybe they'll consider implementing an item which allows us to add them to primaries or reroll the element on them. The original reasoning behind removing elements was because the same weapons were being used for the same activities. But if we could choose which weapon would be most beneficial to bring in, that would be no problem. Tl;dr all gonna use the Zhalo since it's hitting 4x damage right now. Nobody got time to worry about nerfs.
-
Your asking us to not use the weapon for what it was made for. It was made to be use with arc burn. Not to mention this has made grinding heroics so much better. I've been doing these strikes for a year the less time I have to spend bumbling around the better. I'm getting strikes done in like 5 minutes with randoms. I think it's great that it's finally getting it's time in the sun. Till now it's just been sitting sad in my vault. My zhalo has killed 1000s in the last few weeks. It had maybe a couple 100 before. Just let people have some fun.
-
By this logic we should also nerf subclasses due to elemental damage!! Or make everything Kinetic!!
-
Instead of having arc burn all the damn time why not make a Nightfall/Heroic week with a different burn ?
-
3 RepliesI like where you are coming from but it's being overused in pve so it won't get touched.
-
1 ReplySo don't use it else they will stop you using it....good plan genius.
-
Grant Mackay, your plans have been uncovered
-
Is it over used in pvp? If not then there's no worry [spoiler]almost forgot.......7/10[/spoiler]
-
I'll use what I want. If you don't like it go -blam!- yourself
-
Heroic strikes are arc burn with small arms. I using the shit out of Zhalo.
-
*Jumps into heroic strikes with zhalo supercell and annihilates everything* Can't tell me what to do...
-
1 ReplyActually I think they have arc burn on so much because they are testing to see if they want to bring back elemental primaries. If too few people use zhalo they might think we don't care enough about them. If they think we don't care or don't want elemental primaries then they won't bring them back. Tl;dr: if we use zhalo enough during arc modifiers then there will be year 3 fatebringer.
-
Wont be sorry to see the back of elemental primaries for good. No tears shed, zero -blam!-s given.
-
Outside of using it for the strikes right now, I think it's a garbage gun anyway.
-
sadly, you are probably right. although, it would totally break the gun.
-
If it's primary arc burn I'm using it
-
1 ReplyW all the nerfs, just bring back everything and more.... more choice=diversity. Make them exotic w less drop percentage and gtf three of coins out of this game . Even better make a quest line in where you have to go get these weapons(Ex. Maybe in the quest your sent to one of the raids or w.e lore it pertains to/location and have to collect the useless legendary that an old guardian dropped when they died.)and have to take it to gunsmith to reconfigure, then wait a week and tada!!!! Exotic you had a fun way getting. (Also yellow engrams still drop but the ones w special lore and quest drop a exotic core to pertaining gun in which you turn in to gunsmith for further instructions) At least then exotics are more fun to get and add quest line content.

Puts on spinmetal hat

Nah. Arc burn/small arms in heroics this week is just an early Bungie Day present. Grind it. Enjoy it. Less Spinfoil theory, more strike loot.
-
Wow this is full retard at it best
-
