The difference between Sweeper/Prime and the Vulklok is that the former has rather short attack range, which means it doesn't really impose itself on the viability of longer ranged weaponry. On the other hand the Vulklok on the Diriga had similar attack power combined with incredibly long range, which not only makes the Sweeper useless, it made the Diriga the most powerful offensive sentinel, outstripping even the Dethcube, which is supposed to be the assault sentinel.

The Diriga already has the advantage of not one, but two precepts capable of stunning not only a single enemy, but multiple enemies as well. Having a long range, high power attack with fast attack speed and perfect accuracy would've made the Vulklok the most powerful Sentinel weapon overshadowing the rest of them.

I do still see my Diriga hit enemies despite the accuracy nerf, and with a critical build it can still dish out some rather incredible damage. It's just no longer the "stand in place and have tea and crumpets while Diriga kills everything" sentinel weapon it used to be.
