takes forever to proc arguably it's flashiest perk, and doesn't punch hard enough.

I'm confused here. In PvE it can take only 1 shot. Shoot any low level enemy in the head and then reload. Now you have 6 high powered shots. After the 6th, reload. Get 6 more. Repeat. On top of that, firefly is great against tight packed groups. I can clear a crowd of those annoying taken psions in 2 shots.

In PvP, you've got always on radar, and after your 1st kill you've got the high powered rounds. It is a little more tricky if you miss some shots, but it's a good high risk high reward mechanic.

And you get a gun flip on reload. It's worth it just for that.

I'm becoming convinced it's down to playstyles. It felt like I had to be nailing crits constantly to get anything out of it, which meant I had to dial back how quickly I moved through an encounter dramatically. I think as a Titan, I'm too used to being a wrecking ball and bombing through enemies for that to ever feel good, and part of that being possible means I'm usually gunning at center mass, not heads. Conversely, Crimson enables the rapid fire encounter bombing I'm used to, while only requiring I pop a headshot kill every few enemies to have my mag auto loaded.

Either way, the whole thing werids me out. I'm using a Handcannon as my primary. That just ain't right. I'm an Auto Rifle man. Pulse Rifle MAYBE, but only if it's either full auto, or has a killer RPM like Lincoln Green's 540. Scouts are reserved for plinking at things far away, because I can't be bothered to carry a Sniper Rifle. But Handcannons? Never had need of one.
