How good is whisper of the worm?

[ダリア]

I have some ascendant shard left so i want to try new exotic and whisper is very cool looking but how good it is is it worth?

I haven't seen anyone use Whisper of the Worm in two years. There are better guns in the game. A sleeper simulant, for example.

High total DMG, high sustained DPS, but there're more forgiving weapons to use that don't resrict mobility and perform as well or better.

no one use it sleeper stimulant parasite or ghallahorn combined with other rocket launchers are better exotics solar dps on the heavy slot snipers not worth for PVE dps on the current metas fusions or linear fusions are way better even slug shotguns if you can get close to the boss are better
i not see anyone use wisper since black armory Izanagi was better and since shadowkeep or abit before the snipers are no longer long range DPS meta linear fusions took that place

^^ this is the sad truth. WoTM used to be godly, but has just been outshined.

In GM’s it’s common for people to run either a reeds regret, stormchaser or cataclysm as the heavy, both LFR’s.

In raids it’s a similar story these days. Even raid bosses that benefitted from longer range weapons like Izanagi’s are now dominated by the linear fusions. Those three are just too good now a days.
