I Agree,I love my lash (Field Scout, Clown Cartridge amd Crowd Control) but it is too slow for PVP.
I use it in PVE a lot but the fatebringer is still better than it when there are enemies grouped up (ie. Laterns during Crota). On single targets it really hits like a truck.
ya i rolled plain but true perks on my lash , reload kills, reload empty, stability, and I do like it a lot ...
field scout would be good for sure, but I just shoot till empty and as long as I killed someone then it reloads in about 1.5 seconds.
I wonder though while using it, even though it has great impact the slower shooting does it actually do more DPS than fatebringer? seriously a 5% fire rate increase would have made this gun a monster.
for comparison i was doing about 915 and about 1050 per headshot on knights with fate and lash respectively.
