How is Telesto in PvP?

It's a lot of fun, and actually a great damage dealer in PvE. It just seems like it could be a big disadvantage in PvP if it doesn't kill upon landing the hit, and you have to wait for the projectiles to detonate.

But at the same time, those explosions might make it viable at a longer range, say where a normal FR wouldn't kill because of accuracy issues or damage drop off, but you might land enough of the sticky projectiles to get a kill.

The range is only slightly better than some of the longer range legendaries. It's cool when you can get multi kills off one shot, but it is a PvE weapon. You have to charge, then wait for the needles to explode. It kills too slowly to be any good in PvP as a seriously used secondary.

You get slightly more range and AoE damage (and orb generation), in exchange for higher time to kill. Worth it in PvE, not PvP.
