I decided to roll with DH-17 + Explosive Shot + Pulse Cannon last night and I feel... dirty... Its just so easy to kill at all ranges with this combo.
The only significant resistance I encountered was another DH-17 user or lucky bursts from SE-14C's. I can't tell if its just the stupidly good rate of fire for full damage out to 25m or if there's some kind of a larger than average headshot multiplier that makes it so good.
I'll probably switch back to my usual EE-3+Ion Shot+Cycler Rifle combo because not being able to pop dudes in bubble shields is annoying as hell and the EE-3 is just so versatile, but its going to be tough to give up the more efficient killing power.
