I can't think of a weapon that more clearly needs it. It's completely crazy in Lockdown. It's not even really a gun, it's more of a projectile bomb that has no charge time and causes shock, often. And it requires virtually no skill to use.
I don't understand why the pulsar hasn't been nerfed by now

It's slow and semi-ineffective when up close. Dodge the bullets and you're good. No need to nerf. Unless you want to nerf the Gran Faust, Divine Avenger, Flourish, status bombs, etc., then no need to nerf any other weapons.

If you rush at a polaris
If you rush at a polaris user, the shots easialy miss, however you can't do this while attempting to capture a base. It DOES have awfuly high chance of shock, and large knockback, but the general strength is mostly the tactical advantage it has. The normal shots should be edited, prehaps more time untill it expands, with less total expanded time, and the charge needs to be buffed. The stratagey with the polaris is to take advantage of the splash and spread it out, and the charge completely defeats that purose. A fast shotgun-style charge would be nice.

To counter myself, you can easily charge a Polaris user, but then they would easily pull out a Gran Faust and smite your face immediately and keep blasting away. O_O

I think that we should nerf everything. Troika line should go slow enough to cause sleep status, pulsars should not expand at all, except on the charge, and flourishes should have their damage halved and set to normal. Status bombs should not actually cause a status, and Gran Faust should curse the player every swing.

Yea, lets nerf everything and
Yea, lets nerf everything and then complain that weapons are too weak.
ps. not really, im against nerfing anything. Things should stay in way they are, people worked for all that stuff not without a reason and changing that in middle would be jerk move

The general problem is that
The general problem is that we need more armor to counter these weapons. I can get complete normal ressist to counter a troika, but I can't get full peircing to counter a flourish. If we had full percing mail, then troikas would seem OP.

It's bullets are really slow.
It's bullets are really slow. You can dodge and block them. It is a pain when you have incoming pulsar spam, but I haven't had too much of a problem with it. It's balanced.
The only thing i can agree is that the pushback is too much.
Shock? my mercurial set doesn't know what you're talking about.
