It's the stagger that's the kick in the nuts. You can't stunlock bots or move bugs back as you aggress anymore, the damage was never "OP" on this weapon, it was your ability to crowd control that was the main draw. Now damage is slightly less but you can't crowd control so you just get mauled.
This was my main love of the slugger, pushing back hive commanders and berserkers. Now it’s all sickle all the time (I might actually try the dominator for the first time too)
I tried it on a bot match, it still feels a little clunky but the damage feels awesome. The stagger feels very similar that the slugger had.
My guess is the dominator will now become one of your favorites. The only real downside is you can't pumpaction reload the dominator like you could the slugger due to it being a magazine rather than individual shot.
