Looking at what you said I feel as if you aren't making it worse but better!! It will be alittle more versatile will among down sights and would have a slightly better chance of holding it's own against hawk moon and thorn without making it unbeatable. Good ideas!! This thread is an actual solution other than just nerfed the dang weapon because it kill me alot. Well that's my two cents on what you said. Good luck gardian and let the travelers light guide you!
