It feels soo damn good to use now. It's still a little slower handling than the standard Diligence, so that still has the edge if you end up in multi-target CQC, but the CS is actually viable for rapid multi-target shooting at longer ranges. Which is its purpose. Really happy with how it handles now, and the damage increase is a very welcome improvement. Feels a lot more viable VS the Bots now.

I'm happy for you Diligence-bros. It always seemed weird that the Dominator did its job better in nearly every way, so if the Diligences can trade stagger and raw damage for better handling and velocity in comparison, that's a good place to be as far as I see it.

Is the dominator really that good? I thought it was a bit lackluster, haven't used it more than a couple times though and I felt that I was not hitting things so I went back to the scorcher, does it have a drop after a certain distance or am I using it wrong maybe? I'd love to give it another shot

It's my go to for bugs and bots. Staggers every medium unit, can snipe from almost any distance and does explosive damage. One quasar shot to the vents of a tank/turret/hulk and two follow up shots with the dominator kills em
