I have Timur's Lash. Rerolled the hell out of it and got a bunch of great perks.
I then acquired Thorn, Hawkmoon, Venation III, and TWKY 1969.
Timur's Lash is horrible compared to the exotics and on par with the other two. My Venation III has explosive rounds and some reload perks.... it is now my best non-exotic PvE Primary (over Timur's Lash).
It just isn't worth it. The impact on this gun is meaningless without a better ROF.
The TTK from Thorn / Hawkmoon is like 2x as fast as this gun.

Edited by whirly5: 2/18/2015 3:57:25 PMThat's just not true. It hits like a truck and has just a slightly slower fire rate. Mine has crowd control which is not a bad option for both PvE and pvp
-
It might hit hard, but the DPS is 20-40 % less than Thorn or Hawkmoon. But that is PvP. The RoF is less of an issue in PvE.

I beg to differ. I main timur's lash in the crucible. It's a very rewarding gun that does 95 a headshot. If you're in a firefight with a friend or two you'll be their saving grace by knocking enemies down to half with one shot. It has amazing accuracy for a HC and is even a good CQC weapon because of accuracy and stagger it causes on enemies. I use mine over both Thorn and TLW. I have rangefinder, perfect balance, and luck in the chamber. This also means an occasional 2 shot. Thorn hasn't left my vault since. The exotics are better but it's really not by all that much if you can actually use a HC. I use my slot on a special or heavy now. I don't need thorn or TLW. This weapon is great.

Edited by Flatted5th: 2/18/2015 4:35:12 PMoof, that's a great roll! The luck in the chamber round, how hard does it usually hit for?
-
127 headshot damage and 85 body shot damage. It's pretty intense. I also have send it on that one so I'll switch to that if I need accuracy after the hand cannon nerf. I have another one with clown cartridge, field scout, and crowd control for pve.
-
Hmm, I was thinking of getting the crowd control roll for pvp, do you know how hard it hits after a kill?
-
Yeah it's probably around 112 because the multiplier is somewhere around 15%
-
Timurs lash is the best legendary hand cannon hands down. Massive impact and range plus a 13 mag. Mine gives me bullets to mag when I kill. It's a beast.
-
Hmm.never thought of it from that point of view. I might reroll it for PvE perks like exploding rounds.
-
You are so wrong on this, because you are viewing it totally as a PVP gun. In PVE this gun is awesome with the highest handcannon impact in the game - it is the only primary I know that oneshots non-yellow mobs in Hard mode on VOG
-
Right, one shot crit adds all day. And isn't an exotic.

Wrong

Good thing everyone gets to use Hawkmoon... Not like more that half of the community can't get it.
-
It's a beast pve gun.
-
It tops hawkmoon. Really?
-
I don't think you realize many people are looking at it more as a PVE gun.
