First of all - most people here seem to be talking exclusively about weapons. Weapons aren't the end all of Destiny and an exotic armour piece can be the defining factor in a playstyle just as much as a weapon.
Some of the armour pieces don't suit my playstyle - but then I'll come up against someone using them so well that I am forced to pull them out of the vault and test them again just to see if I missed something.
As for the lists of useful exotic weapons that people are reeling off... what the hell? Do you folks really limit yourselves so much when you play?
All the exotic heavies are cool now. Yes, even Super Good Advice. As long as you have ammo for them, the perks are insane. T-lord is still the BEST HMG. Super Good Advice is bottomless. Dragons breath is great fun to bounce under bosses. Sleeper is absolutely unique. All the swords are OP as hell in the right place. Gjallarhorn will surprise the hell out of anyone in PvP, Truth is still extremely popular in PvP
For Specials - Telesto is hilarious, Plan C is coming back, Invective is super popular.
You know what, I'm not going to list them all and sing their praises, and there sure are some that need work or desperately need to come to Y2. But they all FEEL exotic, whether that means odd, funny, beautiful, or powerful.
What I'm glad for is that none of them feel MANDATORY.

Since I have armor for mg ammo, and have ruin wings, I'd really like to get SGA again. Year one it was fun for control.

SGA is the most ridiculous MG in the game. It basically hits every shot, because those that it misses it refunds, and it can fire your full load of heavy ammo in a crazily short time. For jobs that require continuous damage for a period of time (like dropping shields on something with super fast shield regen) or for maximising the usefulness of an area denial bullet hose, it's immense. The recoil is very high though, and if you are good at recoil control you will find your ammo doesn't last very long. I like it for making Crota/Talnok kneel. I guess it's probably still awesome at Oracles and for heavy boss damage when you only have a short exposure window.
