I completely agree and this will be happening. If I can find the time tonight/tomorrow, I would even push them out with patch 3 changes since it affects such a small number of people (and would anyone complain about me buffing for a change?
)

Rogue's very right here. This is what made it difficult to balance in the first place. I'm confident we can make it feel good though.

This is true, and it's something I overlooked a bit during my extensive testing. Not everyone spars like me (in fact barely anyone does). And I PK conservatively too.
In order for the gun not to be super-niche, it needs some changes.

I'm not going to be doing this. I'd rather put the energy regen in good spot.

I don't hate this idea for future guns, but i'm not going to do this with the Tempest.
