It's exotic perk obviously doesn't fully activate and well, for that simple reason it is pointless to choose it over anything else. I can notice increased handling and stability but only when i'm balls deep in enemies and in pvp you have to get into shotgun range. As for the RoF increase, well, it doesn't happen. This seriously needs to get fixed
Edit: Kinda surprised how much support im getting. I made a poll some time back and it also got a lot of support. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

Absolutely. Its a massively disappointing exotic weapon. The Hunters get a headshot murder machine, the Warlocks get a space magic murder machine, and the Titans get a close range ...well its an auto rifle I guess. Its exotic perk doesn't work, even on those special occasions when it happens to be active. It has those awesome looking ballistic plates mounted to the front of it. But just like the rest of the 200+ pounds of bullet proof heavy armor the Titans wear, that shield serves no purpose whatsoever aside from to hinder its wielder. Somehow all that armor still slows Titans down, giving them the lowest mobility of any class. And the Ballistic shield still impedes the visibility of the sight picture. But neither protective measure offers any defense whatsoever. A Warlock in a bathrobe is able to stop just as many bullets. The Fabian Strategy seriously needs to be improved. Its one of the worst exotics in the game, and it is without question the most disappointing one. It just doesn't at all measure up to other exotics (especially when compared to the other class exotic weapons), and is not worth its exotic slot. The perk actually needs to function as described to give the weapon a purpose in the form of superior close quarters fighting, or it needs a new exotic perk. A great thing to do would be to let those armor plates actually do something: damage resistance or extra armor, or less splash damage, or a modified version of the Guerrilla Fighter perk that activates while ADS. Something -ANYTHING. Because right now its an exotic with no exotic perk, no niche, and no point.
