At the start of Destiny 2 Merciless was an exotic heavy fusion rifle and was turned into a special fusion rifle. Whisper of the worm was originally the Black Hammer in Destiny 1. Later it turned into an exotic version (Black Spindle), but it was a special weapon. In Destiny 2 it returned as the Whisper of the worm. Whisper of the worm was a heavy weapon and had its OG unnerfed perk. Now that Whisper of the worm is now nerfed, should it return to the special slot like Merciless since Titan barricades and Luna faction rifts reload weapons from reserve anyways?

No. It is still one of the best boss DPS weapons in the game. It just loses out to Xenophage because XP-and-Divinity is easier to use. It was just nerfed to the point that it no longer breaks the game and it’s ammo economy. White nail should have never been returned to the game as a perk. It was broken as a raid weapon perk...and making it into an exotic perk wasnt going to make it less broken. Then you add all the ways we can buff weapon damage....
