What are some of your ideas for gear sets or exotics?

Last night, I was thinking about how the devs could add more interesting effects in terms of new gear sets or exotics, or reworks to old ones. It also made me think about how the gear in this game is mostly just “buff this stat and be done with it”, which isn’t really a bad thing, but it would be neat to have more interesting effects than just stat increases.

For instance, I always thought the Exuro Ortiz set was super interesting and fun. While it does buff your skills, it actually changes the way the flame turret functions, which is unique. Imagine if we had something similar for other skills or weapons.

Coming from the perspective of someone who played a lot of games like Path of Exile in the past, I think it would be fun to have effects that give you a significant advantage in one area, but it comes with a drawback. If you’ve played Path of Exile at any point, you definitely know what I’m talking about.

Like let’s say there’s an exotic item that allows you to have multiple striker drones, but you can’t use primary or secondary weapons. Obviously I can think of some issues with this, but that’s just an example of how I’m approaching this.

Anyway, I always wanted to hear the community’s opinion and ideas about new gear and effects. What do you think would be entertaining, interesting, fun, all that good stuff?
