What makes the tlaloc so good in my opinion is while holding the super... That's when it peaks.
Ace of Spades isn't modified unless the super, tether, is popped.
Fabian is operational long before both. Depending on the super and build, popped, I'd have to go with it.
I'll have to mess about with it and compare outputs when I'm at my console.

Sigh... Let's try this in the simplest of terms. Two assumptions are made in the original post: -the First in the title -the Second in the body In which of the class exotics Tlaloc is superior to Ace of Spades and Fabian Strategy. That assumption seems subjective and inconsistent as Tlaloc achieves maximum potential while the player has achieved and holds their super. So to hold everything as equal, a level playing field, I put forward determining and assessing the performance of Ace of Spades and Fabian Strategy at peak performance. Ace of Spades: Hunter Handcannon Provided a steady hand and strategic player who plays counter to typical FPS strategy, the hunter can outgun a tlaloc wielding Warlock prior to the Warlock acquiring their super at which point favor tips to the Warlock. If Super potential and its impact is brought in to play for both fighters, the best choice for the hunter is nightstalker: turning all shots into crits meaning less time spent on maximising precision. Fabian Strategy: Titan Auto Rifle (Blah blah blah because kids don't read or think only react) maximum potential output on a level playing field with a Warlock holding their super is a Titan running as Defender and using their Ward for Weapons of Blessing. Increasing survivability or damage output over time with a rapid fire weapon. That... Is what I blamming meant. I trust this is clearer and slightly less condescending than what you and your chum stated. But only slightly.

Ah but you see, any half decent player running stormcaller with electrostatic mind can get their super up in about 2 minutes, maybe less. From that point forward they have a significant advantage over every other primary from mid to long range.

Tlaloc is subpar at long range and mid range, where it shines, puls rifles like hawksaw are competitive. It's a great gun but not "OP"
-
Ah but you see any decent gunslinger can get their super up and running in 2:30... Blah blah blah. In order assess each gun everything must be held equal

Ace of spades doesnt have anything to do with supers dude.... You dont need to pop your super or even have it up. Its just a good hand cannon with firefly and an amaxing pve perk "the maverick" which grants 1 ammo back to the magazine of precision kill

I could copy and paste what I said to MakeRm here... Or: Read my response to MakeRm as the same answer can be used here. Or if you prefer something tailored to you... The original post supports the meta theory of tlaloc being better because reasons without exploring what makes it effective; and to what extent. Or... Tl:dr Player myopia drives community meta based on odd assumptions.
