BS; you miss a SINGLE shot, there goes your DPS (also uses your exotic slot). sword; a lot of bosses dont let you get close ( they have trust issues). gjonkerham; its a high BURST damage weapon, but it quickly falls off, and then fails completely if you dont feed it those purple bricks. its also de-throned as the undisputed DPS king. again, it uses your exotic slot. cocoon suffers from a lack of pizzaz. its not explosions born from more explosions, its a good solid DPS that hinges on little extra factors. its unload, switch, repeat. its a very very solid DPS outlet that is pretty versatile too. but mostly, its under appreciated.
