It's getting so tiresome with all the people giving shit to the Sybaris. People constantly argue, "When I'm surrounded by enemies I'll get fucked" -- you know it's a high-damage rifle that works best as a pick-em-off weapon mos effective at range? No one seems to understand the context of how to use a weapon. Also, when you're being overwhelmed, you would use a weapon that compensates for the Sybaris' lacking ability of crowd control, say, the Akstilletos or whatever. It's like, you wouldn't use a bow in the fray of multiple enemies, would you?

Also, people seem to have a stupid notion that it is an in-efficient killer. Has anyone even tried modding for criticals and status? I'm killing stuff over level 70 with this thing with little-to-no problem at all. It's not a disadvantage of the gun that you people don't know how to mod your weapons without someone's instructional video.

Oh, one more thing about the Sybaris and the ability to kill multiple enemies quickly: I found that implementing punch-through really made a huge impact -- think about it, that's 2 bullets that gain this effect at one time, dealing huge damage. Heads do just roll.

As a side-note: what's with the wiki always talking about disadvantages being stuff like crafting resources and clan dojo weapon, as those aren't disadvanteges to the weapons characteristics at all; they're just part of the struggle to make it. A sensible disadvantage would be the Sybaris' lack of crowd control ability, or say, the small magazine size.
