Gearbox's schtick has always been if everyone likes using it, there must be something wrong with it, and feel an overwhelming need to just **** with shit.
So because irradiating a skag, or flinging rakk at enemies is not as popular as cloaking and shooting, they make a move to make the playstyle less popular. Hilarious patch note on how they try to reassure us they dont want this playstyle to go away, all the while nerfing it into oblivion.
Guerrillas in the mist was for Flak users that were using automatic weapons, and could make use of those types of weapons in Fade Away as well as the slower, more heavy hitting weapons.
You didn't want to waste your 3 shots in the stock version by using an automatic where a 3 round burst would end your skill, and not really do that much damage.
Now its essentially use the automatics in regular combat if youre using them, but when it time to pop Fade Away, you want a hard hitting Shotty, Pistol, or Sniper to maximize the damage on those 3 shots.
In playtesting it, you really cant get anything going in 5 seconds, unless they all happen to be grouped and you damn well better have a full mag before you pop it, because a reload during the five seconds, lol forget about it.
I'd be surprised to see anyone still running it. I get nerfing the crit damage to make it less lolwtfpwnage, but to nerf the time as well, they kill the skill entirely.
