Review

The second member of the very low impact class of pulse rifles brought back with Age of Triumph, Praedyth's Timepiece shares many of the same faults and benefits as the Oversoul Edict. Low recoil direction, reload speed, and range are offset by high mag size and very high aim assist, and in this case decent stability. Once again escaping the mag size nerf to the popular weapons in this archetype, it still was hit with the burst delay and flinch nerfs, which pushed it out of competition for the best PvP weapon class. Although for VoG the raid weapons did not lose a perk slot for a raid centric option, in PT case it might as well have. It's very nearly a god-roll, with Red Dot-OAS, Headseeker, and Perfect Balance in the first three columns, but then in the last column we have one of the worst PvP perks in existence: Secret Round. Basically what this perk does is, if you miss any bullet in the burst, it fires a fourth one at the end. What this means in normal gameplay is that you miss your burst or part of it, and then have to wait an extra two frames before you can fire again, since the gun is basically wasting an extra round for you. The only times this has ever helped me in PvP were when I somehow missed the first shot of a burst but then hit the next three, and realistically most of the time it just threw off my timing and accuracy. When I get this weapon I will not be upgrading the final node, and I recommend you do the same, because other than that it's a very good weapon.
