The weapon was better prior to RoI. I used it in Crucible regularly. Took it to the Lighthouse during TTK. It is mostly garbage now. Don't know if it was hit by hand cannon general changes or if changes to other primaries have just made it unable to compete. Sadly, the vendor Palindrome is a far better PVP weapon than The First Curse. Would love to see it buffed. Not many people used it prior to RoI, but you saw it from time to time. I haven't been killed by it since RoI dropped.
