Though the Cauldron buffed some under performing weapon systems (including a lot of shorter ranged options) In my experience, bias is tending to longer range pinpoint builds, or mixes of pinpoint and laser vom. You can still do well with shorter range builds if the planets align, but it's getting harder to advance under the curtains of PPCs and Gauss blotting out the sun, with the occasional stab of cerulean blue from LPLs or clan ERLLs for flavour.
PPC Veagles are stupendously powerful mediums - though not-Veagle mediums in general are hurting at the moment (IMHO) with their fragility and the abundance of whopping great alphas. Range is your friend.
As someone that likes to play shortish ranged mediums, especially those with AC/20s, SRMs and/or MPLas, this is absolutely, painfully, accurate; the long range, pin-point, front-loaded damage (LRPPFLD, for short) meta is hell.
I just want to brawl...
