To be fair, as far as Heavy Machine Guns go, Dragon's Shadow is probably the 2nd best one you can get.

Dragon's Shadow is a pretty cool quality of life exotic, at least until you get auto load perks in all three slots and then who gives a gently caress.

It's definitely getting undeserved praise right now just because it's the only Hunter chestpiece that does what it does.


I used to like Auto Holster but I'm a couple degrees removed from it now.

-Both dodge benefits (and fixed to proc Kill Clip with Gambler's)
-+5 Mobility
-Handling on all weapons basically becomes the Crimson Days Brokenheart Buff

It's mega good with 2 Class Ability mods tho I'm considering dropping my Recovery from 9 to 8 for a 3rd mod (which also wouldn't be bad at all with my Ophidia Spathe build).

Thunderlord was actually the best Machine Gun in D1, but the problem was that there were exotics in the primary and secondary spot that were more bettar than their alternatives than Thunderlord was better than BTRD or Unending deluge.

MAYBE A DINGO ATE YOUR K/D
Thunderlord has a worse TTK than Lunas/Not Forgotten, the most popular weapon in PvP which is neither heavy or exotic.

Also worse than 3 burst side arms and Wavesplitter and a few other things.

Its sufferers a lot from flinch with no way to mitigate it via armor.

Its hit detection is spotty, probably because "it gets more accurate" as you hold down the trigger.

Its a fun gun. Sure. You could even go on some big sprees with it. But i wouldn't use it in any serious capacity in PvP.

I pretty much just used Jolders hammer for 3 year striaght. That thing was a beast.

Except when the BTRD could 3 taps with aggressive ballistics. That poo poo was nuts.

I don't understand how aim assist is supposed to work. My first several shots seem to go wild before the accuracy bonus decides to kick in.

I will say that the disappointing thing about Thunderlord is that it seems to start at the "medium" speed that it did in D1 and it doesn't have that choomchoomchoom bullet sound effect. The slow windup was great.

I used Thunderlord in PvP and it seems to work pretty good. But it's not the same as it was in D1 and HMGs will probably never be as awesome as they were in D1.

New to Luna trip report

- My 75 range opening shot Trust feels better to shoot hands down. I'm stuck running backup mag to really get the most out of the perk which makes it less versatile that my OS trust with Icarus.
- triple tapping people happens way less than you think it would. eg things are hectic, team shooting etc
- if there's one thing this gun is actually good at is burning down supers. lol holy poo poo
- I still prefer cold heart

Also Luna is entirely dependent on how good you are at the game to perform at its max. If you think Luna is bad, it is you who are in fact bad.

What the smooth brains fail to realize is that these are the reasons why Dragon's Shadow is amazing. Wraith metal lasts for approx 9 seconds. With 5 paragon mods it is god teir pvp equipment. Auto reloading was a freebee buff.

Nobody actually thinks Dragon's Shadow is bad, they were making fun of arguments that Thunderlord is only good because it's the only machine gun and will be bad one day because future hypothetical machine guns will be better :ssh:
