So... the perks are solid. Braced Frame Counterbalance makes it the next Doctrine, in theory...
It has more than enough ammo to take down a single target, sometimes even if they're mid-Super...
The reticle matches Clever Dragon's, which used to feel so crisp and powerful...
But it still feels like it kicks like a son of a bitch.
I have a New Monarchy AR with lower Stability that feels more accurate and precise.
Does this thing have the Hard Light screen shake 'hidden' stat exaggerated to try and balance it?
tl;dr Something about the Rank 5 Unbent Tree is garbage, help me find out why.
P.S. Going to try and tell me I don't know the weapon? I've been using Epilogue and Necrochasm for the last two weeks in PvE: I know enough to handle low Stability Bullet Hoses w/o Counterbalance. But equpping this thing quickly had me realizing it had some inherent Stability issues despite perks.
P.S.S. Anguish of Drystan is another Auto Rifle with conspicuously similar issues. High Stability, and yet the gun still doesn't consistently hit the broad side of a Titan's forehead plating... I would know.

Looks like it is a slightly different version of an Assembly II...which means a base range around 15? So it will bloom like a mofo. May need something to mitigate that accuracy mess most of all.[/I] Had some other high ROF autos a while back that I really wanted to like, but they were just too unmanageable. Some were actually Assembly2's, one was a Hex Caster... and I think an Extremophile. Think I kept the New Orbit one and used the rest for infusions. Rodeo, PB, CB... didn't really seem to matter much when they had crappy aim to begin with (keep in mind I main a pulse too, so more accustomed to the ~30m gunfights). Was a good Spring Cleaning session last IB though... finally managed to get all my primaries in the vault to 400. If you could get Hidden Hand on that one perk column, that bugger should play like a completely different animal, or maybe a good Acc/Range perk. Still debating whether to jump in this weekend to grab one of those autos. I just can't seem to really get into AR's. Just generally seem more a novelty, with a very narrow window where they may be viable in PvP (excluding a few exceptions, of course).
