Thoughts on Hunter's new Arc super

I was wondering what everyone thought about the new Hunter Arc super. I personally fail to see any practical use for it. Neither does it ad clear and DPS like Gathering Storm and neither is it a roaming super like Arc Staff.

I find its damage very underwhelming and feels very clunky to use. I can only think of maybe traversing long distances with it but then again Strand exists so I don't see a use for it.

Only reason I am forced to use it is to be able to use the Harmonic mods for my Nation of the Beasts HC. Has anyone found a practical use for it?
