The PGS is a bit underrated, it is a murderous weapon and was a lot better before Gold Tracer came around, but now Gold Tracer stole its light.
However, the weapon itself isn't very good. Range is one of the most vital factors in PvP, as most people will know from spear-users. The horrid range means there at least 100 different ways for you to get hit and only 1 way for you to hit. Unless your damage is 9999, AR looses a lot of value.
Its only good part being Bleed, which is no longer as good due to the Gold Tracer, which is better than it at that part.
Right now, the only way to effectively use the PGS is to stack Poise to 76 and -at least- mid-roll, then proceed with a very straight forward "in your face" tactic, which has a ton of problems.
Like many say, after Gold Tracer was introduced, it became a sub-par weapon. If Gold Tracer didn't exist, it would be a decent weapon only because its unique bleed.
