I've been doing exceptionally well with it since they changed the mechanics a bit back a few patches.

ADV + 2 damage mods + level 5 proficiency = Perfect

The Carthum is pretty awesome too, but I can't afford 77k isk for a weapon. However it does feel like it has less kick, or maybe just more damage at range or something. The Carthum is a beast at close and long ranges while the ADV is only good at close-medium ones.

There are so many things right with this weapon compared to the AR. Shorter reload + bigger clip + more damage + slower fire rate = more time spent shooting and less time reloading. The presence of kick prevents it from killing you from across the map easily while the overheat keeps it from being spammed up close.

Even after 1.7 hits and I skill into the combat rifle, this weapon will still be in my fittings somewhere.

I do see an increase of its usage a bit more than I used to, but I never see anyone really do super well with it like I do. So far I've only seen one other person use it to the extent that I do, and even then they were running alongside someone with a duvolle. Is this really a rare weapon or am I not running into the right players?
