Just played a few matches with this, and dear BOB the damage falloff is [b] ATROCIOUS[/b].
For an exotic Hand Cannon meant to deal precision damage at range, the recent nerfs have made that [i] incredibly[/i] difficult to do!
Dear lord Hamrick! What the he** do you think you're doing?!?!
I used to absolutely LOVE this gun, but now it just feels like punishment when using it.
For pete's sake, revert the damage falloff back to how it used to be! From all appearances, you guys in charge of the recent "balancing" have NO clue how do it well or properly.
Remember how you (Hamrick) said that "Nutty McNutface" was a lazy name for a squirrel? You said this in response to a hilarious Reddit post about your decision making process regarding nerfs (or "balances", as you prefer to put it).
It may well be a lazy name for a squirrel, but you know what's even [i]LAZIER[/i]?
Maybe, nerfing Hungering Blade and breaking other regen perks in the process...? You guys have been either incompetent or dishonest, and it's time you own up to it.
.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I absolutely LOVE The First Curse. It's probably my favorite exotic. THAT is why I'm so mad.
Nerfs which were brought on by a different Hand Cannon archetype have crippled what was meant to be a long range precision tool.

You've got to play sneaky or campy with TFC, it's where it shines. If you don't feel bad robbing everyone else's kills then play behind someone and clean up. You'll be surprised how many kills you get with it. In PvE is an absolute monster, you can hit 20+ straight bullets with it, lol.
