The [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12082015/en/News/News?aid=14094]2.1.0 patch notes[/url] say " [i]Pulse Rifles Reduced base damage Low RoF (The Messenger, Spare Change): [b]9% reduction[/b] from previous base damage[/i] " but the in-game numbers suggest the PvP nerf was bigger, and there seems to have been a separate even bigger nerf for Lyudmila-D.

Are the patch notes wrong, or am I missing some other subtlety? Update #1: added range details. Update #2: discussed in a [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update--12102015/en/News/News?aid=14179] weekly update[/url] and retroactively corrected in the [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12082015/en/News/News?aid=14094]patch notes[/url] (but without any lasting indication that several edits were made to the patch notes after they were first published, and the earlier [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Weapon-Tuning--December-Update/en/News/News?aid=14016]preview[/url] is still inaccurate).
