Let me start by saying this:
In every activity that doesn't require any form of dedication to a specific role (Nightfall, Raid, ST, etc.) i use the Way of the Outlaw because i enjoy that Revolver fanning western style.
The problem is, it's pretty bad in PvE as you might know. It's bad against bosses, it's bad for crowd control, it's bad for generating orbs as a support and it's pretty bad in general lol.
I do realize that the priority should be to balance sub classes in PvP but give the ol' outlaw some PvE love. It doesn't need much to actually buff the top tree gunslinger, something like D1s Combustion perk (Killing enemies with Golden Gun causes them to explode after about one second) Would make the class actually viable for crowd control at least.

I think it just needs a bit of an extension on the duration time. Popping it on a wave of ads in your sight is so satisfying though imo. It doesn't need more damage against bosses cuz that's what bottom tree is for.
