Thunderlord any good?

Just got this from the Nightfall. Looking at the stats and perks it looks like it may be decent. Is it worth keeping equipped over an Exotic Primary or Secondary?

  • It's weird. The mag is small to start with, and the stability is pretty low. Increasing the stability makes it easier to hit headshots with, but it also leaves you with a small mag, and lightning rounds isn't very useful if you only have 38 (or whatever it is) rounds in the mag, so it doesn't gain an advantage over an arc swarm. Field Scout pushes it up to 60 and the theoretical DPS gets ridiculously high with lightning rounds up, but the stability suffers and usually forces you to fire in bursts if you actually want to hit something. Add in that enemies rarely stay in one place long enough for you to get lightning rounds to proc fully, and you have a gun that should be awesome but never quite gets an opportunity to shine.
