Lately, I find everytime I read about weapon tuning I just get angrier and angrier. Pulse rifles are good right now, I agree auto rifles needed to be buffed, but pulse rifles did not need to be nerfed. Why is it that Bungie likes to nerf everything the community likes to use, then they gets upset when we have to use a different kind of weapon as a result? The whole reason the thorn epidemic started back in year 1 was because Bungie nerfed auto rifles, then hand cannons were nerfed. Then pulse rifles that could two burst were nerfed, but that's not enough, no sir. Now we have to further reduce their damage to the point where everything will be a 3-5 burst kill or something ridiculous. As far as the exotic weapons go, the first curse needed buffing without a doubt. Hawkmoon did not need to be nerfed. Shotguns good, no problem. Litc snipers great. (Although what is the point of range dropoff?) If anything the chaperone needed a buff, because it can't one shot and no one uses it as a result. If I were going to try and be accurate with a secondary I would use a sniper. What is the point of nerfing fabian strategy very few people use it at this point, as it is meant for PvE. The others are alright. Thoughts?

A new Thorn is emerging (The First Curse). People would move to Scout Rifles (As they were unaffected) now that Pulse Rifles are being nerfed. You see Bungie, you Nerf, we move to something else. Nerfing is not always the key, but you always take the easiest escape route. I'm not a handcannon user but Hawkmoon nerf was totally unnecessary, after all, it's an exotic, I can feel Hawkmoon users anger.
