3LW has better DPS, range, and stability. RDS perks are better for PvE (That heal won't save you in a 2 second battle against multiple players). And good luck landing consistent headshots with that stability!
If you love RD, and are good with it, then more power to you. But on pen and paper 3LW is superior.
Edit: Aside from the random insults, I'm loving the replies!
Edit: Wow 500 replies. Thx for awesome conversation! You guys have been an honest blast to talk to! Some of you have even swayed my view on things.. But 3LW is still teh mastah! :3

Just as a measure of the ease with which some Pulse rifles hit critical's, you should note the aim assistance rating of each weapon. Praedyth's Timepiece has an Aim Assistance of 84 Oversoul Edict has Aim Assistance of 82 Coiled Hiss 1919 has Aim Assistance of 70 Time on Target has Aim Assistance of 67 Bad Juju has an Aim Assistance of 60 Evergreen II.I has Aim Assistance of 57 Red Death has Aim Assistance of 50 3LW's has aim assistance of 23

3LW is better on paper, but even though red death has lower stability its much easier to get more headshots more often. Not sure what it is but red death has head seeking bullets that just always crit. I keep trying to use my 3LW because it should be way better, but it simply is not.

My Evergreen II.I is definitely the Best Pulse Rifle in the game. Don't believe me? http://imgur.com/qrjFITx VS Bad Juju: http://imgur.com/jbAi2Bh

Three little words is pretty good, but I mainly use the bad Juju for the super energy buff on my warlock. So to me 3LW = Bad Juju but only because of Juju's perks.

So I had 150 crucible marks and I was between 3LW or the dead orbit auto. I bought the dead orbit auto and it was the worst mistake of my life. That shit hits for like 7 on crits and if I empty a mag I'm looking 90 degrees up. It's very time consuming for me to play all those games and save up 150 marks. I'm so sad I bought that terrible piece of crap instead of an actually useful pulse.

I have all three and completely disagree. Red Death hits harder in PvP and regens health. JuJu and Obsidian Mind will get you 3-4 supers per match. In PvE, JuJu destroys. The only advantage is that I can have Three Words equipped w/IceBreaker or now Invective. If you use exotics as primary, TLW is a distant third.

6 idiot

You should try the STRANGE SUSPECT PR
-
Timepiece > everything
-
Meh. Time on Target > 3 Little Words. Dat fire rate yo! Mine can land 6 crits before 3lw even gets 3.
-
And Oversoul Edict is better than both.
-
Stranger's Rifle > Everything
-
Three Little Words is like hawkmoon and fate of all fools had a baby. Im not even kidding. Look up the perks for all three and tell me otherwise.
-
Damn all you sheep pandering to bungies will and cheap methods to manipulate stats to favour there updates
-
I like my warlock's pulse rifle better than 3LW.
-
I got a nice 3LW drop with Headseeker and Glass Half Full. It's a beast if you can aim for head shots. My last 3 rounds can pretty much 1shot a person of I have Headseeker proc active already.
-
Why does no one mention The Stranger's Rifle? That thing has always been good.
-
What do you think about the faction(NM, DO, FWC) PRs?
-
Best pulse rifles are strangers rifle, tlw, and bad juju
-
3lw is a monster and I don't even have a good roll. I like it a lot
-
This makes me want to give my pulse rifles yet another go. Is Oversoul's Edict better or worse than Bad Juju? Thx.
-
Timepiece is the best.
-
I have a rare evergreen I.II that I love in PvP... How does TLW compare..?
-
Is that one from the vanguard?
-
Super pox is teh win...(old school pre dlc with engram roll) love the max stability 2 headshots are cake. 38 damage each
-
The VOG Timepeice is very good in PVP. The perk that make your headshots more powerful after body shots is OP.
