[quote]How I use it? I point and shoot bud. The archetype is not bad, that's just something many people are claiming. They want it back to almost 2 burst with better stability.[/quote] How you use it = aggressive/defensive/team oriented play [quote]It was too good, and it is STILL good now. Don't let forum opinions do your talking. Play around with it for a day or 2 in PvP, I'm telling you that the gun isn't bad. [quote] I'm not saying it's not viable, I'm saying it's not as good as it's competition. Again, it's my most used exotic. [quote]Sheesh, word of mouth here on the forums is like a disease. If enough people type something it just becomes a cemented fact. That isn't how facts work though. Fact is the gun is still very viable in PvP. Everyone is just worried about having that perfect fabled weapon that the forums have been in an uproar about.[/quote] A cemented fact is that it's time to kill is higher than its competition. I found this out for myself on the first day of the patch

Most people on this forum base their opinion on their load out. For example, I like grasp over red death, check my load out and you will see I have a grasp. Check my grim and you will see I have a red death. I understand you've found a load out that works for you. I remember when ghorn was "op" and I was laughing with my messenger (adept) in hand. But there is a meta, and these posters are right, RoF wins when EVERY pulse rifle archetype kills in the same # of bursts (3 head shots). The faster you get those shots out, the faster you kill and the more often you flinch the opponent (in case you aren't hitting the head). Also, you aren't the only one who can use grenades, abilities, supers, and cover so that argument is completely irrelevant. A competent opponent will use those same things against you, plus a superior weapon (in terms of TTK). Again, it's awesome you found something but numbers don't lie. Higher RoF=faster ttk which = better weapon.
