We all know the best perk on fatebringer is the explotion/area damage one.
And we all know the word of crota dont have something like this. Yes I know, there are other cool perks but for me they are a little bit useless because...
When you fight against big bosses you dont use a handgun, you use a special or heavy weapon or maaybe a Scout/Automatic rifle. There is no boss where it is usefull to use a handgun.
The Word of Crota have a bit more single target damage then the fatebringer but noone uses handguns for single targets. Handguns are perfekt for adds and groups of enemys. And there is "Area damage" > "Single target damage".
So, what was you intention for this handgun ?
