One of the BIGGEST lessons I've learned about the D2 community is that most of the hype surrounding weapons is not warranted. Most weapons are overhyped. Ikelos shotgun, thought it would be a beast, the thing has such low stability that it bounces/recoils after each shot thereby making headshots very difficult. Midnight Coup, I got it .... it sits in my vault collecting dust. I think the Claymore is the same, although I respect those who ground for it. The only weapons that have been worth the hype, imo, are: Whisper of the worm, Sleeper Simulant, and Polaris Lance. Every other weapon I've earned seems to have been overhyped.
