So for those who are unaware, Wish-Ender is currently doing 3-4x more damage than intended, due to its Broadhead perk (deals both entrance and exit wound damage) triggering twice on each arrow.
This thing hits like a truck, and based on the size of it (I mean seriously, look at this thing
Sadly, before today, Wish-Ender really has been cast-aside by most people aside from the occasional PvP gimmick, and is mostly just a Cursebreaker tool. This is the first time this bow has ever felt like it has a place in the game, and that got me thinking....
Now, obviously we can't be running around with this aggressive-sniper-rifle-levels of damage that feeds primary ammo, so obviously this needs some sort of patch.
But instead of just removing this bug and putting the weapon back into irrelevancy, Bungie, PLEASE make it a special ammo weapon instead.
It already matches the general damage model of most snipers, and still requires draw-back time. We don't have a special ammo bow in the game yet, and Wish-Ender has such an amazing quest and is such a unique reward, I feel like this would be the perfect way to bring it back into the unique meta.
It has a place, if we give it one. Bungie, please, do not just take the easy "bug fix" route here. Roll with it. Bring this power fantasy to life.
