Wooooooooow is Fabian Strategy hella good now.

I was just on the dreadnaught when the enemy started moving against itself. Of course I position myself to camp one of the caves and spawn kill cabal. I was able to mow down multiple waves without reloading. Tied together with WoL, I was able melt four or five waves without reloading. Fabian Strategy is now essentially super good advice as an assault rifle. Bungie if you read this. DON'T CHANGE A THING. Fabian Strategy has finally come into its own. Now it feels like the exotic it should have been. *edit/addition I'm reading it's wrecking in crucible? I don't play crucible. Bungie, seriously don't try to "fix" it. If you really really must, keep the nerf in pvp. It finally feels like a hella good exotic and I hate to see it returned mediocrity. Edit 2: the reediting I play 100% pve (except for when I did my sword quest and exotic class item quest) So I can't and won't speak to its usefulness in pvp. I probably really like it b/c it fits my play style. I play the majority of the time as defender. I understand some of you still don't like it. That's cool. You do you.

  • The gun will never be at its full potential unless one thing is done [spoiler]remove the damage reduction while front lines is active. If I'm in shotgun range, i better be able to melt the shotgunner, as he will be able to melt me [/spoiler]

    • I tried it for about 2 games in crucible today. I don't know who gave you those reports, but it's not that great. It's ok for an auto rifle, but I'm the only person I've seen using it. I don't think it pulls straight up, which is a major downside for me. It definitely won't be nerfed. Doctrine is still much better

      • I finally tried it out today and I couldn't put it away. They've definitely resurrected this weapon. It actually kills stuff and is great for crowd controlling enemies when there's a large group. It's even useable in PvP now too. I dropped almost 20 kills in the game I tried it out. Pre patch that would of taken about 18 games to accomplish. Hahaha.

      • With the small arms modifier it tears up in the heroics. How it does without on its own is yet to be scene. I know with specialist on in the nightfall it shoots feathers. A nice addition to a what was a shit weapon.

            • It is good but only at shotgun range.. Try using it in widows court and watch your kd drop like lead

                  • I had lots of fun with it in the crucible. I haven't used it for PvE, yet, though.

                  • Not gonna lie, I haven't ranked mine up all the way yet but gun still feels pretty weak in PvE. Even with small arms on the strike, it's pretty lackluster imo.

                  • I've been using it on an aggressive Defender build, No Backup Plans, Party Crasher, Fabian and Sol Edge, I sprint from cover to cover, jumping and skating forward, soon as I get close enough, I'll open the throttle and start dropping mobs, it reloads enough on kills that you can make quite a scene before you need to reload. Land a melee or a shotgun kill, pop overshield and wade back in. Absolutely love it for PvE. Crucible? Ehhh... Someone with steadier aim and better reflexes than me would probably do just fine, I still need practice. Overall though, it's a contender finally... Tlaloc is a really good weapon, Fabian is certainly viable, I've never used Ace of Spades before, I've heard both schools of thought on it. Maybe they'll throw some love its way soon.

                  • It's still pretty ass in pvp. I've tried in 5 or 6 salvage and control games since the update and I really don't think it's good.

                    • The Fabian Strategy is now used 100% for the opposite of its namesake :p

                      • I PVE'd it right out of the update and was thoroughly impressed! Hip fire for days. It's definitely not a gun to aim down sights with.

                      • Can confirm that it is beastly in pve. Great at wiping out low-level mobs. Been using it in the strike playlist with small arms on. Very fun.

                        Maybe I can play my titan again and actually enjoy it now that I don't have to stick to a MIDA or Imago Loop.

                        • I love it in PvE. Never having to reload while fighting hordes of trash is great. The boost to fire rate is insane now, and it's stability makes it a lead-laser. Not a piece of trash any more.

                          • It's ridiculously OP now in Crucible, it's going to get readjusted very very quickly.
