Post nerf with Pulse Rifle buff. If they didn't nerf AR and buffed the Pulse then I can see both being equal. As of right now I feel that AR is no longer on par and Red Death is the new Suros.
Revert the AR nerf and keep Pulse as it is now and I think things will be balanced between AR and Pulse.

Of course it was needed. Too many people were using them and we all know when too many people. Are using something it's bad. Now that auto rifles were nerfed, the variety I'm the crucible is at its very highest and nothing could be bet....oh wait everyone uses pulses now...
