addendum: weapon shines vs infested because the lack of range isn't a factor if you can kite well.

It's effectively worthless except on specialized frame builds vs grineer because they can shoot you before you get into range, and heavies will groundslam unless you have stagger immunity (Rhino, Trinity)

If you're going to use it vs Grineer, you basically need to run a Trinity (link), Rhino (iron skin) or Loki/Ash (perm invisibility)

Also still works well with Vauban/vortex gimmicks. (ie still has the highest effective DPS in game in that particular situation)
