Good? Yes. Outstanding on paper? Yes. Top tier weapon? No. I don't think you understand the concept of overdamaging targets and TTK. Not as much range as a high impact scout. Not as accurate as a high impact scout. High impact scouts can hit headshots at longer ranges with less damage dropoff. Slower TTK than a high impact scout. If you're using a handcannon for range, you might want to rethink things. By all means have fun using it. There's no reason you can't do well, but if you want to have a discussion about what is optimal, First Curse doesn't come up. Oh and if we want to be silly and worry about killing majors with a primary, I'll race you with my Jade Rabbit vs your First Curse. :D (The damage per shot for First Curse may be higher but sustained DPS definitely is not.)
