Strength D is a terrible mechanic

Like this, except it's the game that suffers.

Formerly reserved for Apocalypse!, destroyer weapons, commonly known as Strength: D weapons, are now being integrated into regular 40k. While earlier 7th Ed Codicies used the D sparingly (Necrons, Orks) or not at all (Tyranids, Dark Eldar), Codex: Eldar appears to have brought D into the mainstream. And this is a problem.
