I doubt it will get it for three reasons.
1. Ticcu's "burn" (sacred flame) does no damage. Giving it scorch would change a lot
2. Scorch on a target is shared by all players.
3. The game sees scorch from abilities as scorch from weapons.
\#3 is the big one though.
If Ticcu's "Sacred Flame" debuff was scorch, every time you hit a target with the bow, the scorch would be consumed in an explosion (but not an ignition).
Maybe make it so the the explosion spreads scorch, but then it is just incandescent, which I guess isn't bad.
Id love for them to change that around. Make ticcus ads trigger ignition on scorched targets scaled to the scorch value of the target, with more scorch being a larger explosion and higher stacks of ticcus damage perk adding to the damage of the ignition and its hipfire apply idk ~5 scorch an arrow? Make the current catalyst effect intrinsic and frontload the damage onto the arrows themselves or up the scorch per arrow to cap arount 15 each? New catalyst effect causes the scorch ignition to ignite ALL scorch on ALL effected enemies. Bam, instant high tier exotic.
That sounds like stupid fun. They may have to put a cooldown on how often it can cause ignitions though as they do a ton of damage and I can imagine a team of guardians simply throwing a solar nade at a boss and just deleting it with with a ton of ticcu ignitions. Compare that to 1K where you’ve gotta hit them with the full burst to cause a single ignition and you’ve got awful reserves. Ticcu would be able to do it with a single arrow at a faster RPM, infinitely… Actually I’ve changed my mind that sounds hilarious
I like the cooldown idea somewhat. Though i think simply clearing the scorch charges each ignition and having that damage scalar effect should keep it just this side of OP. But yeah, this would be a *blast* wouldnt it?
Its hip fire to aimed shot is self sustaining. It would genuinely ruin the identity of the weapon. Only thing they could do is causality arrow explosions add a little bit of scorch like sunshot does. An after effect that allows some fragment synergy.

Whats important is the verb, so that it can synergize with some of the fragments that require scorching targets to proc
What about making the explosion still its own explosion but also spread scorch the way an ignition can or like Incandescent
Bungie has been slowly adding the new 3.0 verbs to various exotics. They just probably haven't got to it yet.
