Your forgetting about the first curse double range perk tough. Even with the range perks however, the fact that it is a three shot kill min makes it suck

First Curse's base range is 32, with sod ballistics it ups it to 38 and the Dead Eye perk bumps it to 53 so in the end it still ends up with less range. I also tested with a mate and the drop off was significantly more the AoS, Hawkmoon, Eyasluna and Imago Loop. I really like the feel of the gun but I strongly feel it needs a buff.

One thing I never understood about this statement is that its op if First Curse and Thorn can two shot kill players to the head but its perfectly alright if snipers can two shot players to the body. It still don't get it.

The first curse is supposed to be used at range though. Its meant to be used while adsing at range hence the high base stat range with its perks giving it more range. I don't understand your arguement against thorn though. I'd rather have someone two shot my face from medium distance than have someone two tap my arm from across the map.
