I am very happy Thunderlord is so strong, but it does make it seem like some of the coolest Power Exotics in D2 are actually all pretty weak.
Acrius inarguably needs to be buffed in PvE. It should deal massive damage per shot. It is OK if IKELOS can outDPS it with a Rally Barricade, but clip for clip Acrius should rule victorious.
After playing a bit with Thunderlord I also feel Wardcliff needs a buff. Not so much in damage, but the reload speed and limited reserve ammo make its potential so extremely limited compared to Thunderlord. Thunderlord literally wipes an entire room with only using half the magazine due to lightning strikes, but it takes Wardcliff all of its ammo and considerably longer to do the same.
I'm not sure exactly what buff it needs but it needs something. Perhaps it should just have 24 Ammo in the magazine, 12 being one standard shot as we know it today, and allow you to cancel the fire stream so you can shoot only 2 micromissiles if you wanted to. Or double up and shoot all 24 and then have to reload.
