Sigh.
I believe everybody is entitled to their opinion, but man, this is the kind of stuff that's going to just give everybody else on this forum an immediate, hated defense against people asking for Balance; and I mean, moreso than there already is.
Not saying that's your intention, I just don't want the backlash.
I don't want the Krysae absolutely pulled from the game. It can be a fun, and useful gun- just like the Falcon ( which, yes, was taken down from it's God's position, but is still a very useful gun if not a bit harder to use than the Krysae, which many people still find plentiful use for in Gold ).
I just don't believe that the tradeoff the gun has right now for damage in comparison to it's AoE radius, it's proximity detonation, and it's stagger effect, is balanced. I believe there can be a better tradeoff.
But I do not agree with this thread.
Having it in the game just seems like overkill. I mean, sure, people have fun using it. But people would also have fun if Biotic Explosions were 3x more powerful. Or if Biotic Charge made a Vanguard completely invincible for 20 seconds.
It isn't like there was a lack of powerful sniper rifles in the game. I don't recall anyone complaining that the Valiant, Black Widow, Widow, Javelin, and Kishock just weren't powerful enough.
If it wasn't there, there would still be plenty of fun guns to use, and the sniper rifle would still be the most powerful weapon class in the game.
