They definitely increased the spread again on the Vex. Around when HoW came out there was a fusion rifle patch and the same thing happened to the Vex, and bungie undid the effect on the Vex making it usable at mid range again, but now it's back. For those who say that the Vex is overpowered, it's an Exotic weapon, it's suppose to be better than most guns. At mid range a Thorn or Last Word can easily beat it (even prior to the update), and with the new patch any decent pulse rifle can. I've personally started using red death as it's now superior to the Vex at mid range by leaps and bounds. Even an oversoul edict is better.
