All the controversy regarding Divinity made me realize something when i was discussing it with friends. I feel like trace rifles, even though they got buffed, are in such a weird spot. Theyre not awful but its like "why would the average destiny player go out of their way to use a trace rifle". The problem with trace rifle is just what i just said in the previous statement. Trace rifles need a new unique identity to give them purpose. A suggestion to throw out as an idea is, possibly a perk/trait with certain elemental trace rifles to apply the new elemental debuffs. ex: Scorch, Jolt, Weakness/volatile
(I know, scorch maybe seem op to cause constant ignitions but im sure there can be some balancing, it sounds pretty cool for that "power fantasy"
I just wanted to throw an idea out there to maybe get the ball rolling on potential updates for trace rifles.

well, doesn't prometheus already apply scorch and you need the entire mag to trigger an ignition (without chorus helmet on warlock)? I don't think it's op at all and would give a lot more utility to this often overlooked (outside of div) weapon type.
