The problem is that he doesn't level groups of people, his AoE skills aren't even appropriate for such class.
Out of all the Electric characters he's the weakest one, just go ahead and try to play as him.
If you insist so much in reducing the health then do it, but the current damage is ridiculous.
It's not just 1vs1, he can't do well against groups too, they tried to create a new weapon for him that it's a mix of a laser, electric, full auto, single and charged weapons and they failed at balancing it.
They just gave each proj the stats of an already created weapon, in this case each doing less than a full auto weapon, without thinking about all the other parameters
(The fact that's a single proj weapon, each should be powerful, the fact that it's a AoE weapon + chargeable weapon, AoE should be charged too)
Any electric character is aimed at AoE and can do decent to a 1vs1, this one struggled at both!
Look at all the videos and play it by yourself, this character just screams for help, I can't see how his current status is balanced
