On the other hand, time spent guiding is time spent not switching and firing another weapon. It does give a very high powered finishing off capability though, as opponent tries to escape around corner.

What gap were you trying to fill with HLAC? Why not adjust crylink instead? I didn't like the recent changes to crylink. I thought it was supposed to be for defensive spamming and harassing or finishing off around corners.
HLAC should only become a pushing weapon if some force is taken out of other weapons, especially nex. Nex is already a killer. It is doubly dangerous in that it also throws you off map. Frequent comments are that shotgun has a bit too much force.
I don't want to disrespect your weapon. I just don't know its raison d'etre.

Maybe the secondary slowdown is reasonable. 2.6 changes it to a triple burst. I didn't like it, but I'm a lectrospammer :o maybe a double burst would be even better for spam control, if the power went up.
I like all the insight everyone has here so far. Good discussion.
