The amount of damage you're losing was honestly wasted in the first place. And even with 400 damage, that still puts it above every sniper that isn't the Lanka. Yes, snipers have their combo mechanic, but the Opticor has its AoE.

That said, having a weapon that can do a bajillion damage in one shot isn't as usful as being able to pop off 2-3 shots that are just as capable at killing mobs. Sure, increased charged rates and reload speeds aren't as sexy as big damage, but they're going to be a lot more useful in relevent gameplay.
