The nerfs are just so the weapons are all competitive. I love my AR's too, but their has to be some point where you say, this is just too easy to use. Same with all the exotic hand cannons, two shots from the thorn, sniper range from hawkmoon, and the highest TTK of any gun in the game from the last word. Suros is still going to be competitive and a top tier exotic weapon for crucible. Just because there is a 2.5% damage decrease is coming to auto rifles, doesn't mean that they will be unusable. The nerfs are just so you can change up your play style and use something other than these godly weapons. I can't wait to see how the red death turns out, I'm excited to see pulse rifles become competitive, I'm happy to see these crap high ROF pulse rifles get more damage. It was needed for more variation in gameplay. It was made so not everyone uses the best weapons in the game just to be competitive. I am glad about this new patch. Don't complain until you see how the patch turns out.

I understand where you're coming from and your right I will have to see how it turns out. I love pulse rifles and underdog weapons just aren't able to use them all the time. Same with thorn and last word (I'm on Xbox so I can't try out hawkmoon) but there comes a point where they need to step back when taking advice from the community that wants every gun they don't use nerfed, constantly complaining.
-
True. I just feel as though some weapons shouldn't be so dominate in a specific field like crucible
-
I can respect that just think they should do more buffing to balance instead of always nerfing. Just balance it without making them all too weak.
-
Shorter TTKs come from just buffing, Bungie has a set TTK they want their weapons to be at, those on the shorter end get a nerf while the ones on the longer end get a buff
-
I'm not saying that they should do nothing but buff, just that I wish they would do as much buffing as nerfing.
-
Nothing really needed a buff except Pulse Rifles to be fair though, Hand Cannons work too long of ranges so they got nerfed, also the Auto Rifle nerf is an average, meaning Necrochasm could have gotten a .01% nerf while SUROS got a 7% nerf, which AVGs around 2.5, with them being outliers on opposite spectrums
-
I like the pulse rifle buff, but I'm just concerned that they'll get auto rifles to a point where they completely suck and everybody will resort to the nooby weapons that some already use.
-
I don't think that'll be the case, I am also really excited to see the Pulse Rifle Buff, and I'm hoping the Necrochasm can find new light when the slower ARs get nerfed
-
Yeah I hope it gets a better chance as well, but they're nerfing ars so... We'll see.
-
Like I said, it didn't get hit with 2.5, that's an average that hits harder on slower RoF Autos
-
Yeah I gotcha.
-
It seems like certain weapons and classes see nothing but nerfs, I do like some of the new stuff they're doing though.
-
Yeah. Agree
