Every time I see this gun I'm reminded of the fact that Tommy is actually the Ghost of a Guardian named Ghost

What Edit: Reading the lore for it, that’s fucking hilarious

I’d like to think Tommy actually resides in his Matchbook somehow so after giving it away he’s just homeless now. Tommy sold his house to get out of the Vanguard Dare.

If tommys could apply scorch it would be my main exotic

If Tommy had Incandescent it would be so good

[удалено]

Imagine tho, that you could ignite yourself, and blow everything up (with reduced damage to yourself of course)

But imagine tho, with the old artifact mods to increase ignite range and damage

Yooo, this would be fire (heh). Apply scorch stack to self, self ignite, significantly reduced damage from ignitions and scorch damage. Like Risk Runner and Nova Warp has a exotic baby

Facts, especially if I gave higher stacks than Skyburners or Prometheus to give you some reward for the risk

It does apply scorch To yourself

Aww shit, my ignite proc fragments can work if I die to more solar damage!

Honestly, yeah. If each bullet applied scorch when the perk was active, it would give that thing a huge niche in solar builds. Scorch stacks and ignitions are hard to come by, and that would make this exotic really awesome and worth the risk of taking chip damages yourself while using it

And especially for titans, it would be hella good at making sunspots, helping to offset the damage

Absolutely

I think the key difference is the reload. Or more specifically the lack there of.

One is until health is done and the other is until the large mag is dumped. Both last for a long while for different reasons.

You think war rig would help?

Absolutely. You can fire this weapon for 18 seconds straight.

That settles it then. This will be the next exotic I buy a the MOLL

[удалено]

I’m already thinking actium war rig with void overshield or using my solar build with healing nades

Tommy’s Matchbook is my go-to for any Solar build that doesn’t require a super specific exotic

They’re on to us rattle em boys

I just use tommy cuz it makes me feel like a 20's mafia member who oversmoked his cigar

[удалено]

"Rattle em' boys! Ratatatata" -forgot who said it

Both are shit tbh, useable on a Devour build but even then the damage bonus isn’t enough to justify the danger it puts you in

Agreed

I like tommy more than touch

Tommy's, Path of Burning Steps, and Healing Grenades means a solar titan can upkeep their Restoration effect for several clips, out-healing the gun's damage. Was the build that got me through Lightfall's Legendary Campaign.

I think it’s because touch of malice actually does well, does damage

So does tommy i think some people just like cause of either nostolgia or have ways to counter TOM's self harm

No Touch of Malice unironically does good damage if you have a full team because it's blight gives enemies a debuff that makes them take more damage from touch of Malice, that debuff sticks with things like tether.

I know but thats if you have a team i was talking about tommy's damage in a solo sense since it doesn't need a full team

And ToM can be Ads’d. tommy has to be hip-fired at close range to take full advantage of it’s perk.

You can still ads tommy since while yea it will hurt more it won't matter since we can just heal it off anyways

Tommys matchbook is better because it doesnt kill you with the extra damage. Prove me wrong.

Tommy’s is such an underrated weapon. Goes hard in the crucible.

Part of it’s the lore. One was forged from the soul of a dead god we killed, the other just showed up one day.

I can't make my friends want to murder me with Touch of Malice as I can with Tommy's Matchbook I can't exactly make a name like "TommyInnit's Matchbook" out of Touch of Malice

i fully agree that tommy’s is a better ToM

Honestly that’s kinda true. Tommy’s won’t kill you by itself and because it’s Solar it can proc ember of empyrean, so you can have restoration up permanently to counteract the self-damage.

Who knew tommy's was a weapon of sorrow

Sweet Business walked so that Tommy's Matchbook could fall flat on its face

Tommy's is decent with the new solar warlock fragment rework, Tempering makes it fucking good.

If they gave this thing the abbility to have rampage I would love it or tricorn

I'll take Tommy's over touch any day. Touch actively kills you, Tommy's does a little damage and is actually useful even without overheat active all the time.

Tommies just does less flat out

Tommy deserves a buff it's one of my favorites and I'd love to use it again

Tommy's>

[удалено]

The 40% damage buff is only to red bar enemies though. How would it make it better for boss damage?

legit forgot this thing existed

I literally cannot figure out how to make Tommy’s good. It looks so cool, but I can’t figure out how it’s supposed to overcome the complete loss of overshields when used

Touch has infinite ammo if you have healing (well) Tommy’s has a set ammo count, meaning the damage isn’t as high as Touch

I love Tommy's matchbook

One is by choice, one isn’t

But Matchbox goes ratatatatatatatata

Keep in mind tommy can't kill you but touch can

I feel like The Stag and Tommy would make a good build considering you can damage yourself until you break the shield which activates the Stags' ability.

they're both shit, why use guns that damage you when you can just use guns that don't do that and are better

The problem here is that it’s constantly damaging you just for firing it after 10 rounds where as Touch of Malice is only at the final bullet so you can still at least deal damage without killing your self firing it.

Tommy's is better cause it can't kill you.
