Practicality is an important, if not the most important aspect of a weapon's quality. High damage or awesome animations don't matter too much if you can't hit the enemy or keep getting killed while trying to reload. Lack of practicality makes using the weapon, at best, a novelty or a self-imposed challenge.
That is, unless you rate weapons not by how efficiently/quickly/safely/conveniently they can kill enemies, but by some loosely defined "awesomeness" factor. Even then, that brings the Claymore up against the Reegar carbine. And while the Claymore can kill lesser enemies in a single trigger press, the Reegar can evaporate them with armor-piercing incendiary lightning. ARMOR-PIERCING INCENDIARY LIGHTNING! (Oh, and it's DPS blows the Claymore out of the water too.)
Using the Claymoar isn't a challenge for me because I'm a member of the obviously more skilled minority. I prefer the higher burst and sustained DPS. It's a bit like how Marc Marquez rides a Honda RC213V instead of a Honda Metropolitan.
Are you attempting to make the argument that Reegar is more awesome than Claymoar? Being a quarian I'm actually a proponent of it, but come on. A molten stream of white cheddar isn't as awesome as a Kilogram of buckshot launched at relativistic speeds from a device that sounds like Odin's farts and makes chunks of melon land 2 star systems over in anything except technically how fast it kills big things, (assuming you are within a few meters).
To be fair, these two require a very different skillset and playstyle. The Claymore is all about twitch aiming and executing what is basically a very boring QTE. The Reegar doesn't give a flying f*** about the player's reaction time. Instead it rewards knowledge (and prediction) of enemy behavior, proper positioning and use of tactics to "juggle" enemies. You may consider these skills lesser to twitch aiming, but if you really think that reaction time is the pinnacle of all skills gaming related... well, I consider that the real scrubbery.
Well, that's a nice simplification and dismissal of one of the more involving and complex to use weapons in this game full of full auto lazer beams, AOE noob cannons, and actual lazer beams that practically play themselves.
Lol@ Reegar requiring any sort of skill. My people invented the damn thing so we could kill everything on the field without scuffing our suits in the process. It requires you to do nothing but get in range and pour on the cheese. This is moderately difficult on a squishy kit (so no Krogan, Batarian, Turian, Volus with shield boost and double cloak, or Puggernaut) with no means of closing distances immediately (any vanguard and Havoc), or dropping aggro to do so (any winfiltrator, especially the sexbot), but on any of those mentioned it is braindead easy and a child could do it all game. If you optimize the Reegar on a Proguard, it is literally the easiest setup in the game and the one that everyone recommends to players whom lack the requisite skill to solo gold with any other build to use for getting the mastery challenge.
Claymore, by contrast, is not reccomended on any noob friendly build that I know of. Maybe Claymoar sexbot is incredibly easy, but then Reegar sexbot practically plays itself. I don't just consider the "skills" the Reegar takes to be lesser, they by definition are, because they hardly exist. Pressing the charge/cloak button then holding the fire button while pointing in a general direction to instamelt an entire spawn bosses and all isn't even remotely difficult by this game's standards.
