you haven't done much pvp have you? currently the tr in a 1v1 standpoint beats everything. it's not an initial burst then stealth away the tr can simply continue bursting you the entire fight. i've faced gfs and gwfs worth his weight in salt as you say and still came out on top because the damage they deal to me can't keep…
from personal use on the bird it's pretty kick ***. more powerful then the founder panther companion. or at least imo it is. i've also put more work into it then the panther so that could be part of it. downside its only got offensive slots would like one of them to be defensive. but ohwell. its what im sticking to for now.
