Thank god. Also all the butthurt about Vex Mythoclast.. HUGE +30% damage reduction. It was ridiculously OP though, the only real counter to it was a super. I never really thought pulse rifles were useless, but my biggest problem with them was that a couple I used, when aiming down sights, took up the entire bottom half of the screen.. That's a whole lot of FOV blocked...
I'm leveling up my Devil You Know with Third Eye, but I have a legendary scout rifle as well, The Aries Nemesis X4. I loved it for PVE but didn't use it for PVP a whole lot yet. Gonna see how that works out.
Don't lie. You wanted a full auto fusion rifle.
Depends. Thorn requires 500 points in Crucible with void damage. You get 5 points per kill and lose 2 for each death. Bad Juju requires 500 points as well. The way its system works is you get 25 points per kill (75 if you're a warlock) and there is no punishment for death.
So here's my PVP tip. Get good with a fusion rifle if you're on a map that relies on close quarter combat. If you can get a good void damage fusion rifle with high impact (because impact determines how hard the gun hits per round, not the DPS number) and you get used to having it precharged and ready to go, you're going to outgun the shotty users every time, especially now with the range nerf. It's probably the hardest weapon in the game to get used to, but once you get in a groove it can absolutely dominate.
People complaining about PVP and PVE going on the same stats... yeah, that happens in just about every game. I've also seen the "Destiny needs resilience like Warcraft!" stuff as well.. Except what they don't tell you (or didn't know) is that Blizzard decided it was for the best to remove it.
Exotic bounties don't show what all of the steps are going to be. Best bet is what f0rge said below, and google it before you pick one.
First time I got an exotic bounty I was excited and almost picked.. friend of mine in my fireteam said STOP, GOOGLE IT FIRST. So yeah, that helped.
