[u]Heads up: This is not a nerf post.[/u]
Remember how sniper rifles were nerfed due to their power in PvP, this affecting both PvE and PvP? Remember how they lowered damage on the One Thousand Yard Stare archetype and another lower impact archetype? Well, they've now reintroduced a sniper rifle that does what those sniper rifles did, BUT BETTER! They've reintroduced the highest impact sniper rifles into the mix, but it's only one, and it's the crucible sniper, Event Horizon. ( Also the strike exclusive Devil's Dawn, but it only has one roll. ) It does 181 base, body shot damage. It one shots players out of their supers. It can roll great perks just like the 1KYS ever got. So basically, Bungie has reverted everyone back to launch of TTK, where everyone rolled with one sniper rifle.
Now hear me out, I'm not saying it needs nerfed. The exact opposite. All I'm saying is that Bungie needs to revert one specific change. The 6.75% damage nerf. It makes absolutely zero sense to exist now that there are two sniper rifles that do exactly what the old sniper rifles did. Bungie, next time think about your changes. Clearly using statistics and comparisons are not your strong suit when it comes to balance. You'd rather appeal to the emotional casuals. I understand they, " Must have a safe space. " but at least try to balance for the sake of balance.
P.S. Can my sniper rifle have it's damage back in PvE? I'm really glad you can't counter-act PvP changes for PvE. We know you have the ability to as well. Can we at least get a 6.75% damage increase against minions of the darkness? Thanks.
