So field scout is gone in house of wolves, according to this: http://planetdestiny.com/all-new-expansion-perks/ This is a potential game changer. The replacement perk would be casket mag: Increased Magazine Size Reduced Stability So... should i just go ahead and push my crucible reputation as high as possible before house of wolves drops and pray to get a well rolled Longbow with field scout, surplus and outlaw/spray and play? Update: went ahead and understood that there's no value in repgaining crucible or vanguard factions after HoW drops, so I took out about 7 packages from crucible with no sniper drop, and 3 vanguard packs with no sniper drop (just cause ldr is only slightly worse than the longbow). C'est la vie, nescafé? I'll be sticking with my vendor longbow through house of wolves it seems. Sadly. Closest i could find in the new weapons is her benevolence, which already starts out with a lower stability. Maybe rodeo with Casket mag, but there goes any reload perk... still not as good...
