The only reason people hate on it is because it doesn't have firefly. Really? Everyone praises the fang of ir yut, yet it has absolutely nothing special. It's barely better than NITC. WoC is a beast in PvP and it's awesome to use too in PvE. If fatebringer never existed, WoC would be ''The Gun'' to get. This community has been spoiled. What's completely retarded is the love for the fang over WoC, lol. Why would you use a scout rifle over a decent hand cannon? (especially WoC with the (potential) 16 bullets) Takes double the effort to do as much dmg AND is awkward to use at close range.

You are mistaken. It's not just because it doesn't have Firefly that people hate on it. WoC impact low for a HC (many adds that FB kills in one crit shot require 2 from WoC) and it's broken. Hive disruptor negates crit shot perk, as do explosive rounds which makes it dumb to include them as an option. Void damage means it will be most useful against Vex. Minotaurs have no crits, again negating the perk. It's really a poorly designed weapon on Bungie's part. Imho, the two best 331 HCs are Timur's Lash and Thorn. I am on Xbone, so can't speak for the Hawkmoon. Fatebringer is still the next best HC after those. Better for some circumstances, such as Arc NFs and even this week's triple burn NF.
