No, no it's really not. The slash procs just don't do nearly enough damage to justify the amount of band-aid mods this weapon requires. There are so many better, more easily obtainable weapons, available earlier on, that it's hard to justify using these beyond the sound effect and reload animation.

Why can't DE just chop the recoil in half and not make Steady Hands another mandatory mod for people who grow *physically ill* from its default recoil? It kicks harder than the Vasto Prime, and harder than the Vasto or Akmagnus even with Steady Hands on it! Calling it a balancing factor is crazy, too, considering the Akmagnus trumps it in many respects and even the Akvasto is better at times due to much better accuracy and great default handling.
