I'm using a legendary revolver for PvE after coming to the same conclusion as you, I've not even maxed its damage. It's got buffs for an extra round in the chamber so it can be a 13 shot too. I've heard Thorn (the exotic revolver) isn't even that good at the moment because a) it's only 6 in the chamber and b) the DOT it applies doesn't stack, or at least doesn't proc again until the previous effect has worn off.
 
Exotics are all about the perks and how they work with your sub-class or with a weapon class rather than having more specific ones that legendaries/rares have...

From what Ive seen a Legendary pulse has similar attack amount as an Exotic one - just the exotics are far harder to find...

I did some quick number grinding and my 242 attack revolver is better than my 267 attack Bad Juju and that's not including all the other reasons I prefer the revolver.

Per burst the Juju was doing 232*3 damage on a headshot and could empty its clip in around 2 seconds. That's 3480 damage over 2 seconds, its got a fast reload so add another second to that. 3480 damage over 3 seconds. 1160 dps.

My revolver: 1232*11, 6.2 seconds to empty the 'mag' about another second to reload with an empty mag. 13552 over 7.2 seconds. 1882 dps.

The times for both reloads are approximate, my revolver has the fast reload on empty clip perk which is why it reloads to fast.

I haven't factored in the 'String of Curses' skill here, which with the instant reload and damage bonus(ive heard its 50% damage increase) would give it better dps but that will not be active all the time. So the damage bonus and instant reload is useful on trash but it will still never be as easy to use as a revolver.

I've ignored the 10% damage bonus the Juju would get if it was fully upgraded, but I am comparing a rare weapon to an exotic, the difference between them should be vast.

that's pretty interesting.

hand cannons op!

gotta make sure you get that precision dmg though, every missed precision shot is going to drop your dps by a LOT

i barely see anyone use pulse rifles / scout rifles tbh. they might be due some buffs..!

I'm more likely to get precision shots with a hand cannon than with all 3 rounds of the Bad Jujus burst. I haven't got the recoil upgrade for the Bad Juju yet as its quite late in its tree, maybe it will make things a bit easier then. I could have used non crit numbers and it may work in the Bad Jujus favour slightly(I think hand cannons have a slightly bigger crit multiplier) but I only ever aim for precision shots so crit damage is more relevant to me.

I cant complain about my exotic armour, when using radiance, I can now generate 10 grenades before my super finishes, that's a lot of potential damage/orbs :D

Few questions now the hype and haters have gone:

Are people enjoying the game?

Is it something you can pick up and play or do you need to spends days on end to get anywhere?

Can you do things on your own? As I don't want to jump into a group and then leave half way because or wrk or family?

Game has a meh story, and is very grindy. It's a MMO style FPS.

You can play solo and get reasonably far, but you will need a premade fireteam to attempt the end game raids and a few of the more difficult strikes.

You can play through the entire story on your own, play strike playlists and get matched with 2 other ppl, and play PvP solo vs other randomers.

So out of interest, who has been doing the exotic bounties? Just done the shotgun one (invector) a few days ago which was easy tbh and still in the middle of the pulse rifle one (bad juju) that I might finish today.

I know theres a few more out there (a hand cannon for sure - thorn) but what do you have to do to get them? Not been offered any more by the bounty hunter sadly!

I'm in the process of doing the shotgun one, I've done three strikes without getting damaged. Confident I'll be able to the PVP K/D difference. Dreading the weekly strike though I got annihilated last time I tried with Lat and Paul.
 
Im trying to find people to do the weekly strike on level 26 - need my ascendent shards! The weekly is fine up until the wizards spawn at the final boss...
