The problem with Bad Juju is that it has a relatively high TTK. Yes, you will get extra super energy from your kills but you're also going to be forfeiting kills because of the low damage. With it being a high-RoF pulse rifle, you're gonna have to play at shorter distances. High TTK + shorter distance engagements are not a good combo in the current meta.
I'm not saying you can't do well with it but you are putting yourself at a disadvantage by using it. I also don't see it being a top end weapon after 2.0 drops. I just don't see how it gets better than Hopscotch Pilgrim after 2.0 unless low-RoF pulse rifles get nerfed similar to the nerf low-RoF AR's got the last rebalancing.

I played some games with it over my lunch break and after switching to it from TLW as my primary I REALLY noticed the longer time to kill. It's just gonna be impossible for me to put up the numbers I usually do using juju in this meta. That being said I want to keep practicing with pulse rifles. Will probably start using the messenger as I've had good success with that in pvp. It's usually what I switch to when I need to switch to ice breaker for sniper ammo. Red Death sounds great with its health on kills but the two burst kills are so inconsistent compared to the messenger

The problem with the gun is that it's TTK has to be longer in order to balance out the extra super energy you gain from kills. If you can, try to get a Hopscotch Pilgrim. Messenger is going to get nerfed because of the nerf coming to Perfect Balance. And Red Death is quite inconsistent unless you play a little closer. The problem with that is you're going to get murdered by the handcannons and even Vex. Once 2.0 drops I fully expect Hopscotch to be a top-tier weapon along with whatever scout rifles have the best TTKs. I think HC's and AR's are gonna be terrible because of the nerfs to their range. And if shotguns are nerfed properly, I fully expect Lord of Wolves to be the new go-to shotgun in Crucible.

Ugh that dragon strike grind tho... That's the strike playlist you have to run to get a pilgrim right?

that or level 28 PoE

That's incorrect. Bad Juju is a full auto high ROF pulse. Just trying to clear any confusion.
