Auto rifle buff
Upon completion on the level 34 Prison of Elders I was skeptical about my purchase of the Wolfslayer's claw. Determined to "make it work" I decided to purchase it, I didn't want to give up on auto-rifles completely. In this current meta, and state, that the crucible is in, auto-rifles are not performing at the equal level that everything else is. You would say that it has its place in the current meta, but allow me to elaborate on a common scenario.
Guardian A will have an auto rifle, and Guardian B can have a scout rifle.
Guardian A spots Guardian B from behind, and begins to shoot at him, suddenly when guardian B is at half-health, he turns around during the period of time Guardian A is shooting at him with an auto-rifle. Guardian B then beats Guardian A in a mid-range fire fight even though Guardian A had a clear advantage over Guardian B.
This is due to the lack of damage output that the auto-rifle has. It's a bummer to see that an auto-rifle isn't even considered in any pvp or pve set up. Hopefully an auto-rifle can be brought back up to the same level as all the other ones (including pulse-rifles now, which I think is great that they're being used now)
Hopefully my fellow guardians agree with me.

i found it very disappointing that the fatebringer was doing 800+ damage on a crit and the new AR from the House of Judgement was only doing 300 something... sad day indeed the queens weapons are just as bad as the judgement AR

1 ReplyThis situation has happened plenty of times. I get the first shot/jump on some, but my weak AR with terrible stability and damage just doesn't cut it and i die. Heck i die even when my shots are on points due to lack of damage. Right now wielding ARs is equal to purposely gimping yourself. Swapped to fang of ir yut and I'm back on top in the match. Now ARs like the Vanquisher and up for anything are solid ARs, however, even then you'd be better off with any other weapon class. ARs need a buff and high RoF ARs like necrocasm and silimars wrath need personal tuning. Either a across the board base stability buff or add a bit more damage. Preferably the first option if ARs in general get a damage buffed.

Pest Control Matrix has a pretty decent impact with good rate of fire. And its as stable as a pyramid. When i get done with PoE and have that thing maxed i will try it in the Crucible.

1 ReplyThis is the one thing, when people demand buffs and nerfs, that I agree with completly. With all the amazing new auto rifles coming out in HoW, the fact most of them are useless is a joke.

Definitely agree. The damage fall-off at any range longer than face to face is awful.

2 RepliesWanted to buy it as well. Has about the same stats as my vanquisher but looks sweet! Then I remembered my vanquisher does 23dmg per critical in pvp I had to pass on it :P
