I used it quite a bit as well in year one, mostly for PVE. It really couldn't compete with Thorn, Hawkmoon and Last Word though until the great nerf of 2015. Now it's a more viable PvP choice. I like it, because I can go max armor, but still have some mobility. I also like going all agility with it. Pretty fun zipping around. That said, I'm still a big fan of high impact scouts for PVE, like the Iron Banner scout. Both year one and two versions are great. I'd like to get firefly on my year two, but I don't think you can.

It's very solid in all aspects. But far from amazing. It's TTK -like all Scouts- is extremely reliant on a high base crit magnifier, and should you only hit 'em where it hurts you're looking at a .9s time frame. To put that in perspective, Max RoF Autos (DoP, Arminius, etc), mid and max RoF HandCs (Red Hand and Appellant respectively), Max Rof and Max Impact Pulses (Malok and Lyud respectively), and max Impact Scouts (Colovance's Duty, Cocytus, etc.) all exceed this kill time.
