Skyburner's Oath Catalyst

The term useless is used to describe something that lacks purpose or utterly fails its purpose. Both of these are the case with skyburner's oath's catalyst. Infamous for being the worst exotic in the game, skyburner's oath has gotten by with some sketchy things because people just don't care enough about the weapon. Whether it was a bug or intentional, skyburner's oath receives no damage drop off. I believe this is a good thing because the weapon is a projectile weapon and projectile weapons do not experience damage drop off (correct me if I'm wrong), it just doesn't make sense for them to have it. Now there arises a problem. Someone at bungie took a good look at skyburner's oath, the worst exotic in the game, and said "You know what, this needs more range". The skyburner's oath catalyst is just a flat range increase, which it totally useless since the weapon does not have damage drop off. This season, bungie demonstrated that they are willing to buff catalysts, they buffed the second worst catalyst in the game (it was bad because mida's reload is already basically maxed out). This means that they could buff skyburner's catalyst to actually be useful as well. A brilliant new perk entered the sandbox this season that would fit this job perfectly. As previously stated, skyburner's oath is a projectile weapon and so the bullets have a travel speed. A new perk for projectile weapons, called "impulse amplifier" greatly increases projectile travel speed and gives a reload speed buff as well (skyburner's has poor reload speed). I propose the skyburner's oath catalyst be changed from a range buff to impulse amplifier and bungie should still allow the weapon to not experience dmg drop off since it fires projectiles. If anyone is worried about this being too op don't be, the weapon on paper already sounds op and it's not. This would help a really fun and underused weapon. Also, while bungie is working on the weapon, if they could please fix the tracking that would be great.
