Admit it. Mida is a very solid gun for this "meta", and i say "meta" very lightly because i dont think there is a "meta" per se.
[spoiler]in its effective range that is (;[/spoiler]
I think that bungie making a surpising low amount of high impact snipers has definately dictated which ones are more prevalent(thousand yard stare) I also brlieve that all the attention that these posts, you-tubers, and streamers bring to weapons definately influences fighting styles and choices.
Combined makes for pretty obvious option, amiright?
The ultimate counter to snipers are and have always been scout rifles. They have the range to keep them in check unlike the rest of the weapon choices with our current balancing.
My issue with this is that i have ALOT of choices and yet... very few.
Its either High RoF with Lower impact
OR<-------[spoiler]This, is where Mida sits in comparison.[/spoiler]
Its Low RoF with High impact.
What other choices do i have if i want to use the archetype that happens to be Midas and happens to fit the way I like to fight. Im decent with pulses and hand cannons, im garbo'with auto rifles, i like shotties, and decent with sniping. But ive always like how scouts felt and operated.
-TL;DR-
What choices do i have that fit Mida's archetype?

NL Shadow FTW. NL Shadow RoF - 52, Impact 37, Stability 85, Range 56 Mida RoF - 42, Impact 38, Stability 59, Range 52 Higher reload speed and slightly higher mag size on Mida but not that big a deal. The NL Shadow is awesome if you get a good roll. The one I use has Triple Tap, Braced Frame and Third Eye and is what I used for the above stats. Very fun and deadly gun to use.
