In D1 I used to love snipers for pve content, and while I understand bungie's reasoning for nerfing them, I disagree with their solution. Also I think it wrong to nerf an entire class because of a few exotic that stand out in that group. In strikes, its usually fast pace with most people speeding through them meaning snipers are not ideal. In gambit, it takes much longer to kill blockers with a sniper as they seem to deal much less damage than shotguns or fusions. The only thing they are really good for is invaders or invading. Factor in the fact that they have no good damage perks like trench barrel or 1-2 punch. Plus you still have to rush enemies for ammo. Also they are terrible against sheild enemies. So I think a 20% damage buff vs majors and ultras would help put them on par with their more aggressive and faster killing counterparts. Edit: rapid fire frames should be able to 2 tap to the body in crucible again. It's sad when they deal as much body damage as lightweight bows.
