inb4 git gud comments and salty comments. Chill bruh, I'm asking what the community thinks, not bitching about it. I adapted the same way everyone else did, by using The Clever Dragon, which may as well be a high RoF auto rifle at that fire rate. That being said, I feel like the highest RoF autos have become TOO useless, yknow, what with being nerfed 2 or 3 patches in a row. They're not really even feasible for CQC anymore, which is a shame considering how many shotguns are running around and how The Clever Dragon basically dominates in close to mid range combat against other primaries.
I don't think shotguns should be nerfed, I think the Highest RoF autos need to be brought back up to the pre-nerf standard so people can't just blink-shotgun everywhere without fear of retaliation except from other shotguns. Charging a guy with a shotgun in your hand wasn't a smart move a few updates ago if that person had a doctrine or soulstealer in their hand. But that's just my opinion. A High RoF auto should be able to take out a pulse rifle at close range as well, regardless of what that pulse is, so it might give The Clever Dragon some competition too.

I would like to see the doctrine/necrochasm archetype back in the meta... before the nerf I had plenty of 25 killstreaks with my necrochasm but now... it's again a pee shooter
-
I think the high fire rates are fine but the slow high impact are lacking. The higher impact autos get out preformed in almost every situation. I think it suck that focus fire is now a negative perk. I hope they bring back the high impact autos till then im stuck using a pulse rifle.

I think auto rifles as a whole needs to get a buff. They've died out, and will never be useful in game modes were they matter. Trials? Hell no, if you were in my fire team I'd tell you to take them off. You'd either trade or lose every encounter. Nuff said. Raid? Scout rifles, hand cannons, and pulse rifles will forever deal more damage them any archetype of assault rifle could. These weapons need a buff. They've been forever dead since their first nerf.

I use a soulstealer on my titan no counterbalance no nuthin but range and it melts so no
-
I recently got melted by a doctrine. I haven't seen it in some time but it caught me off guard. The community will have it's vote for nerfs, buffs or get gud kids. I personally think they are in a pretty good spot. I think the high rate pulse rifles are gonna get a fall off nerf. I checked out a vid for the fall off of a grasp and pulses of that archetype.... basically non existent. I'm also thinking high impact shotguns are gonna get a change as well. Maybe that will take care of the current balancing in regards to those weapons.

I don't think auto rifles in general need a buff - just maybe one ore two sponges. But referring to a post I put up recently, refer to an Auto Rifle The Continental - it's a bullet sponge, but in an extremely good place to its khvostov like damage.
-
At least they're better than other autos lol.
-
Range drop off is to steep imo to compete with pulse rifles.
-
I personally think the are in a great place. Very versatile, if you know how to use them. Higher damage/low rate of fire archetype could use less damage fall off.
-
When did Bungie nerf them? Recently?
-
Boinking Ada-1
alive - old
There are times I feel like high rof autos do super great an then other times jus unreliable. I've found my Monte Carlo out does doctrine archetypes, but like I said it always flip flops since the next match my unbent tree does stupidly well. But if I may add I noticed something interesting with khovostov, when it's on it 900rpm mode the stat for it is identical to that of a low fire rate auto. So shouldn't they fix the stat ui or jus buff the gun in general. -
Lol, git gud. I have my doctrine adept counterbalance. Awesome.
-
All I want is the magazine size back, ITS ALL I WANT. I just want to use Arminius-d until the end of the servers. I don't care about the damage, I can work that out. Such a simple request, I need to find that quote from Bungie, which is unfortunately the most unintelligent thing I have read.
-
I'd like to see what the Crucible would look like if they just ripped out the Felwinter archetype.

They need their april update glory back
