It was actually decent being a nice alternative to the bubble super since after bubbles nerf it only had like 1k less hp than it but also didn't need resilience like bubble does. Bungie however nerfed it by obliterating the hp in return for a 5% damage buff and like a 5 reload and 5 handling increase while the buff is active. The recent dr buff to it is nice almost as bulky as it used to be but not quite but now the change feels less like a nerf.
