Touch of Malice seems designed to make the last two phases of the new raid easier (the invulnerability aura means you can fire the double damage shots forever). I suspect we'll want a few in-hand for the heroic difficulty.

It definitely seems like a very situational weapon. But man, it's fun to use on Oryx when you have that shield.

Can you tell me how to get it? Which questline?

Hunger Pangs. It's through Eris. You need nearly all calcified fragments to activate the final few steps.

I was needing to kill Oryx withy titan, so it was good timing for me.

Granted, I didn't really participate in the Preview process even though I'm in the program, so it's totally understandable.

Post an update, as I've heard that it can cause problems when people try to launch The Taken King. I'm not sure if it's a rare occurrence or if it's pretty widespread.

I am in the console preview program but updates have always been optional and/or installed while I have the console off. Never had one that forced itself to be installed while I was in the middle of something before.
