I use it often as well, the only activity that it takes a back seat in for me is the Raid. It actually does decent work in PVP as well, you just gotta fight from close/mid range and score a stream of headshots. From those optimal ranges, you can go toe to toe against most pulse rifle users. The Fabian saw me to rank 5 in the Iron Banner, and I just love the way it looks and sounds. Its crowd control has saved my hide more than just a few times in PVP. Once it gets buffed, and the Front Lines perk is reworked, I hope that it can stick with me through the whole raid.
