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.

Exactly. Buff for the pulse rifles with no nerf to the autos would have been the best solution.
