I used the Vanquisher VIII almost all the time until the DLC was released. The vendor variant at the time was a solid pick (Glass Half Full, Hammer Forged, Feeding Frenzy). It's a shame I dismantled it, though. I didn't think it would be very relevant to this day, but I still see people using "vanilla" content weapons to this day (Fatebringer, Vision of Confluence, etc.). I regret breaking it down now.
