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.
