[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Range] "Waking Vigil rolls with some great options; namely Rapid Hit/Outlaw with Kill Clip/Dragonfly/Vorpal. It unfortunately suffers from the same affliction other 150RPMs have from being merged into the 140RPM category - where they were previously Lightweights with low Range, but instrinsic Mobility buffs, they are now Adaptives, with lower Range than all other Adaptives, and no Mobility buff to make up for it."
