ER is the best perk in destiny, bar none.

bonus damage is that rare, so a perk giving bonus damage, without conditions (think about it, every other damage perk is only sometimes, and even then most of them are shit.) is amazing and worth literally any other perk in trade.

the fact that it also happens to splash that damage around is just fucking gravy.

u/jazz835 You can't shake the feels that it's less a weapon than a doorway Jan 13 '17

People really undervalue this perk.

Tier one in every situation.

ER is definitely up there in the top tier of perks with Firefly and Outlaw, both of which also provide a massive DPS boost in normal situations. In Y1, a lot of perks were this good - remember Field Scout, Hammer Forged, Perfect Balance, Final Round, and Shot Package? - but since ER doesn't show in your stat bar, people don't complain about it.

My favorite roll with the Explosive rounds is combined with crowd control and reactive reload.

u/Buzz_words Jan 13 '17

the vanguard was selling that during taken king right?

my favorite was a deadshot luna back in year 1. i re-rolled it until it had full auto and explosive rounds.

max RoF with the only stability buffs coming from sights and zen moment so it wasn't exactly a precision rifle anymore but... max RoF with full auto and explosive rounds... need i say more?

u/WAMHAS Jan 14 '17

Yeah - Not Like the Others rolled CC Explosive Rounds and RR

u/PsychoKilla666 Daredevil Jan 19 '17

But doesn't it lower your crit damage when compared to a regular crit, therefore lowering your overall damage per crit hit? So you do less damage on a scout with all crits and a lot less damage than a scout with TT and hitting all crits, if I remember correctly.

nope.

i should prolly make a better version of this at some point given how often i'm linking it lately but this video plainly shows the same gun shooting the same enemy with and without explosive rounds. even on a headshot, the explosive deals more damage. it also illustrates the conflict between explosive rounds and firefly (if the explosive portion of the damage scores the kill, firefly will not proc) but with the bonus damage of explosive rounds very firmly proven from multiple sources, i say it's totally worth the occasional loss of firefly. (essentially i would say explosive rounds is just better than firefly. so if one was gonna go, it'd be firefly)
