What the heck people, have you even tried it? an Eagle VII would be a pretty good gun, certainly not deserving of all the hate it's getting. I wish I had an Eagle VII, I would totally use it. My Eagle I is a fun alternative to the carnifex VI I usually use.
The math has been done, it isn't a matter of trying it or getting a feel for it. It's numbers are simply lacking compared to nearly every other alternative even after the buff.
If you enjoy using the gun then by all means continue to use it, but it's fun factor doesn't change the numbers it produces and some people derive their enjoyment from using the most effective builds and equipment possible.
No gun in the game does zero damage, therefore all guns in the game can be used. That does not mean that some of those weapons do not need significant improvements or that all the guns are well designed. ME3s weapon design as a whole is actually quite poor, with many weapons simply being linear upgrades over others. Ideally all weapons of the same type should be side grades to eachother with positives and negitives, but instead many are simply straight up better.
