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.

The fact that people keep making posts about this topic is kind of dumb. The whole point of the nerf was to make them less popular and for close mid range fights. The fact that people are so desperate for autos to be buffed will make bungie think that the nerf wasn't enough.
