[quote]I don’t see the usability in this exotic. The fundamentals is a cool perk but I think it should be built into it rather than taking a crucial perk slot. It already feels like it has no real perk or uniqueness apart from the 3 waves. Not to mention it’s catalyst is a waste of time. Here are the basics that need to be addressed:
- give it an actual perk that makes it feel exotic. Maybe each element wave does something different like burn, make traces or have volatile for example.
- turnabout is very underpowered. The shield in pve especially is incredibly weak and offers no benefit in endgame.
- the catalyst should enhance or change the weapon, it feels a little lazy that it’s just a lame perk slapped on to the gun. There are many other much better options like chain reaction, ambitious assassin or lead from gold.
- make it stand out further from other wave GLs by giving it some oomph such as increasing damage to majors and bosses/ champions.
I definitely feel like there is improvement to be done as right now it’s just a clone of borealis and we already know how popular that gun is. Not to mention A bunch of legendary GLs far outclass this gun *cough* forbearance *cough*[/quote]
Its catalyst lets you get a overshield for breaking a shields in GMs how is that not good, you can clear waves if enemies no matter the shield they have and you get a overshield for just doing it

Yet it can't interact with champions and given how limiting the current champion mod suite is, using it puts you at a huge disadvantage. Why would I not just use Arbalest which pops any shield and can pierce barrier Champs? Dead Messenger needed to have Overload.

If it could it would be nerfed, arbalest can break shields of single targets while dead messenger can do that to many targets and give you a oversheild

Uh huh and you also have 2 other teammates to pop other kinds of overshields and provide support. The overshield is negligible in higher difficulties and it having overload would not be "doing everything" it would be doing enough. Enough to be relevant in forced champion mod metas. But hey. Be content with a mediocre exotic. I won't try to change your mind anymore.

You seem to just be mad its not OP

Edited by Ferus Lux: 5/3/2022 2:54:32 AMOP? No. I'm mad it's not that good in a meta of champions. There's no way in hell I'd use it over Abalest which also puts out better damage numbers against enemies after popping their shields.

Again you are making a argument over your preferences not how team play can come in

So one person runs Dead Messenger just to clear ads and get weak overshields and be dead weight against snipers and mobile enemies on different elevations. Gotcha.

It’s the weakest overshield in the game. Literally use it in any form of endgame and you’ll see.

[quote]It’s the weakest overshield in the game. Literally use it in any form of endgame and you’ll see.[/quote] Guess what its more then the base 200 health you normally have, and in endgame content when most enemies have shields youll be getting a oversheild often
