There really wasn't any payoff for the sluggish aim and having to lead shots, so the extra damage definitely helps. That said it still won't replace the scorcher for me. Maybe it'll be better against the illuminates, whenever they release.
Definitely unweildy at short range, but the ability to one shot minor enemies at range makes quick work of things like rockets and do a lit of damage to gaps in armor while teammates distract.
Situational, sure. But really great in those sutuations and even better after the update.
