Thunderlord is a headshot machine, regardless of perk (Destiny)

For me, if I aim for center mass with Thunderlord, and I do *not* have Perfect Balance turned on, then every other shot hits the head. The kick is literally perfect in that way. With Perfect Balance, I can hit the head a couple of times in a row, but I find that the kick being so small actually means I often lose sight of my target (since only their head is above my barrel), whereas with field scout on, I can easily track my targets and still get loads of headshots.

I have gotten 4 machine lord medals in one clip with Thunderlord before. 12 kills in one mag, thanks to Field Scout.

Now, for the purposes of proccing lots of explosions, you'd want perfect balance, but for pure killing power, I vote field scout.
