Scorn snipers and pistols are doing FAR too much damage.

Yeah, it feels like that damage bug resurfaced again from a few seasons ago.

4 RepliesSadly Ai does not get nerfed, they only get stronger. We however gets nerfed in nearly every single patch.

Agree need a significant tuning down

It honestly feels like everything hits harder in PVE lately.

2 RepliesYeah, it's the same with the eliksni snipers too. Four of them going at me the other night, it was like a roadrunner cartoon watching me try to find cover. I didn't find cover and I died instead.

3 RepliesIn looking at the Forum posts like this you can see similar comments about balancing issues in pve. And I feel like this all falls under the umbrella of the death of the power fantasy in Destiny. Getting one shot by a red bar sniper that takes me an entire clip to kill doesn't feel like I'm very powerful. Clearly killing the Witness was some sort of bizarre fluke. The Witness didn't need the Darkness he just needed to grab a sniper rifle from a scorn.

They've been broken since the start of Forsaken

They've been hitting above their weight class since they were introduced in forsaken

Fallen snipers have been the same way. I love getting sniped midair by some low level trash mob cherry picking from some advantageous point where I can barely get to them.
