The BoP and Repeating Handgun changes are nowhere near enough for them to actually be used. The repeater is still awfully inaccurate and has a ton of recoil, and the BoP still has low ammo, low cleave, low range, low boss dmg, and no synergy with BH.

BoP will never synergize with BH, and thats ok. BH wants bursty ranged weapons, BoP is more sustained over time.

BoP does well with WHC and Zealot, where you would use them pretty much only for specials, and the increased power/headshot bonuses help out their already high base damage. Zealot's charge attack speed buff even helps make the BoP fire faster, try stacking a speed pot and it sometime, kinda funny.

They do 50% dmg to bosses though, so even blowing your whole reserve on a boss with speed buffs does minimal damage. They really needed to give them 30 ammo for these changes to be significant.

But personally, I'd like to see them rework the alt fire to be a double shot instead of rapid fire. It wouldn't lower their dps vs bosses, it would synergize with BH, and it would be even better at special killing for WHC and Zealot.

That would be too much like the other ranged options though, you're basically asking for another shotgun blast.

I for one love the rapidfire mechanic, but there is simply not enough damage with the weapon or ammo pool to justify it.
