With the recent update, high rof pulse rifles, and high rof auto rifles are the best guns in game right now. If u play crucible competitively u will know that weapons like doctrine and grasp of malok are insane right now. I'm not asking for nerfs as I prefer the time to kill on weapons to be a lot faster. One thing that bothers me is that weapons like these which really don't require skill (talking more about the doctrine) are the best guns to use. Before people come here and say well "I outgun doctrines all the time", I'm gunna stop u and say who were u playing against because a doctrine in a skilled players hand is almost impossible to compete with unless u r using one to. Hand cannons have been getting messed with more and more with each patch and I agree with a lot of the changes except for the accuracy nerf. Correct me if I'm wrong but hand cannons shots act like a cone when shooting up follow up shots. This is why range is the most important stat on hand cannons because it narrows the cone effect. I believe that this mechanic should be taken out and to make hand cannons as they r intended, give more damage fall off instead of making bullets rng. I feel that weapon types like this that have high recoil and are semi automatic should be better because the gun requires more skill but to a certain point. Fixing accuracy on hand cannons would be a good start and it would make a lot more hand cannons useful in crucible and pve. At this point right now the top 3 hand cannons are eyasluna, thorn, and hawkmoon ( no particular order). Hawkmoon is on here because when u do land ur head shots, this gun wrecks but because of the hand cannons mechanic, it still has rng bullets even with the range buff it just recieved. And btw I'm not a scrub in pvp. I'm a top tier player who's been at the top of leaderboards and have been playing since launch. I've seen the game evolve into what it is now and I understand greatly wat the crucible needs.
