Suggestion: Just make it crit. Seriously, it wouldn't be overpowered. It could crit at PAX, and everyone loved it. Giving it the ability to crit would give it utility in PVP, and give it use for taking out Majors in PVE. It doesn't need to be a boss DPS powerhouse, but it just feels bad right now.
It was definitely still WIP in the event build, but I'll let them know that players were happy with its performance in that state with the crit damage.
