The thing isn't that the people complaining really care about the relative power of the opticor vandal. It's that they would have been happier with higher damage and higher charging time or something along those lines. Not really power, practicality, or any of that.

The opticor vandal is, for the most part, a better weapon. It just completely misses the mark for the audience that actually loved the opticor in the first place.

It's easy to see why DE made such a decision -- they wanted a weapon that saw greater use, rather than a niche weapon that made the loyalists incredibly happy. I can't fault DE for doing that, but I also can't fault the opticor fans for being disappointed.
