What is everyones thoughts on Jar-5 Dominator?

I've been trying to use it here and there for bots and most recently the illuminate since they can 1 shot headshot the rocketeers and such, but find it quite hard to use in range due to the somewhat slow projectile speed, the ADS reticle not matching where the bullet goes up close and was wondering what people think of it compared to other weapons

It's my go-to weapon for bots because it trivializes all devastators with perma-stagger. Use the green laser as your aim point in 1st person mode and you will do fine (the reticle is way off). Hitting headshots is easy after the first shot stagger so you can kill any kind of devastator quite quickly and efficiently. It's also great against tanks and turrets due to the armor piercing and can kill them in less than 2 magazines if you are out of anti-tank equipment or find yourself on top of a tank for some reason.

The only real issue is limited ammo supply; magazine size is rather small and you don't get a lot of magazines, but as long as you keep that in mind it's usually not a big deal with the large amount of ammo found in PoIs/bases. That said, I tend to use my pistol secondary to deal with scout striders (run past and shoot pilot) or small numbers of troopers.

y'know, i used to use it as my be-all-end-all weapon. however, illuminates challenged that very weapon and made me reconsider a different weapon. the unwieldiness when fighting "jetters" (idk their in game name you know the ones) makes it quite difficult to pop off in the way i'd use it. i instead opted for the Tenderizer as a stand-in in the meantime.

otherwise vs bots or bugs, it's goated, and i still will die on the hill of "it didnt need that +100 turned +75 dmg buff"

It used to be all that I would use since when the game first launched. Eventually I moved back to the trusty liberator. There's far too much chaff on the Illuminate side of the galactic war for the Dom to be useful though. Best stick with your assault rifles/energy rifles, you can kill everything with light armor pen on the Illuminate front. (Technically even the harvester, but good luck aiming for the eye with enough rounds before you run out)

Yeah due to the limited ammo I wouldn't recommend it for the Illuminate with the current units they are fielding. Voteless are far too numerous to be using Dominator shots on and the handling at close range is quite poor. Maybe once we see all the units it might have a place but for now I'd recommend a different primary for the Illuminate.
