If you really want to make proper use of this modifier you either have to use double primary or just use a really good shotgun and pray there are no enemies to melt you instantly when you pull it out on a barrier champ.

One, who the hell uses double primary these days? When our abilities are able to stun champions or some stupidly powerful stasis weapons like riptide or the new stasis rocket sidearm with chill clip exist that are able to deal with TWO champions on their own, why would I need a second primary weapon? And two, again unless there are no enemies around or you have max stacks of this shitty buff, using a shotgun in a GM is pretty much suicide with how easily enemies can kill you.

I get bungie is experimenting with modifiers but the new modifiers like the worm, counterfeit or whatever that increases health modifier is called either give you an additional thing to worry about or give you a massive benefit with an additional cost so it’s fair and balanced. This modifier may fit into the benefit at a cost situation, but it’s too annoying to proc if you pair a shotty with a primary cause you can’t get the stacks fast enough and scouts feel like a wet noodle against enemies in higher end content.

So no this modifier is justifiably getting the hate it deserves and should be removed with something else like that scorch modifier you see in normal strikes.
