Please devs if you are reading this don't make the same mistake as Div1 with Striker/Showstopper! The problem is not the set, it's one shotgun the ACS-12. Every content creator out there is calling for a nerf instead of realising that they're all using the same weapon to build stack. Shotguns shouldn't stack with each pellet! These same content creators will be the first to say how bad and unusable the set is once its nerfed like they did with Striker. The set is fun and wouldn't be half as effective in PvP or PvE without that shotgun.

@sr_0v3rk1ll The whole point of my post is for them to stop the heavy stacking from the ACS12 so the gear set would function as intended. This would balance the set without having to nerf it. You wouldn't be able to facetank npcs in heroic or legendary if it wasn't for that shotgun. It would bring it more in line with other builds. Besides that you can already speedrun any difficulty without that set so I'm not sure what the problem is in PvE anyway. Already have missions like dua legendary at like 25 min before this update. Sometimes you feel like playing missions slow and tactical with a sniper set up and other time you want to blast your way through and be aggressive to blow off steam. It's more an issue in PvP when everyone is running around with the same gun and you have no choice of builds besides heartbreaker or a pulse resistance build.

@san1tater It stacks fast but not as fast and you don't get full stacks before having to reload or switch weapon. With the ACS12 its almost instant and you gain full stacks before the end of the clip.

@latenitedelight Its not the ACS12 that needs a nerf just the way it interacts with the Heartbreaker gear set. It should work the same way it works with obliterate.
