So i got to play around with the verglas curve stasis bow and i must it is pretty bad, i mean sure its alright, but there is not a single piece of content in this game that other exotic bows cant do better and sometimes even legendary bows can outclass it.

If we look at what i does it is basically glorified headstone. And if we look at that downsides of the bow there are multiple things that are obvious bit others you might need to look at it a little bit mote for you to notice, like if we look lower tier content where one would constantly move around this bow is simply to slow, when i tried to use this thing my team mates would kill the enemies before i could get to shatter the stasis crystals that the bow created, i mean it felt like i was running a normal bow except for the 40% extra dmg to red bars except that didn’t even matter since you already kill everything in one shot anyways. When we look at other exotic bows for comparison for example all of them do something better, trinity for obvious reason, ticcus is also kinda slows but at least the targets that you hip fire explode even when your teammates kills them so it has some viability, le monarque has its catalyst which adds some survivability and the poison tics can kill enemies pretty fast, and even wish ender which is abysmally slow is better since it at least it can decently deal with some majors. So for lower tier content it is slow, its damage out is bad and its not even better than a stasis bow with headstone. Now if we look at higher tier content this bow starts to have some real big identity crises, like the hip fire shot has abismal range considering its a bow so there goes the biggest advantage that comes when using a bow and not a single other exotic bow suffers form this problem, so as one would expect this bow since its so close range it would have that best damage and or add clear in the game but its quite the opposite the exotic perk is so slow to build up and when you do its is so lacking it’s laughable, one would need to get a headshot kill on 3 red bars( which might not sound like lot but in higher tier content it is so slow for you to do that with just a bow, and if you are not solo theres a high likely hood that someone else would just steal the kill) just for you to shoot a measly 5 stasis crystals that do wimpy damage for the amount of build up that one would have to do and would have to be in close proximity to deploy

And don’t get me started on the bad synergy it has with almost every stasis subclass except for behemoth which is by the worst out of the three, and also how janky it is when hip fire ing and you hit a direct shot it just stops that whole entire game play flow of the bow since if you shatter the frozen enemy it does not give you any of the hip fire arrows back to you

I don’t want for every exotic that bungie adds to be meta or game breaking but i at least want this bow to have a place in the game and i see how much effort they out in this with how cool it looks and it would not even require alot of reworking. Something they could do for example they give the catalyst the trinity ghoul treatment and make so that any stasis final blows would give you arrow(that would fix the issue it has with the direct hip fire shot and make it faster ) and for higher tier content makes it so head shots give you arrows (this change would give it the boost that it needs and would not effect lower end content that much )

Idk, this was kind of a rant and it late and i spent way too much effort into this so tell me what you think and tell me if i missed something. As things are now i think this is one of the worst exotic weapons In the game
